Tortured catchphrase alert

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.
Michelle Malkin takes the brave and unprecedented step of...attacking Hollywood.

Of course, "Hollywood" in this case means "a British guy who lives in Britain, but is married to an American actress, who also lives in Britain." Therefore...
Gotta love Hollyweird.
Ooh. Cutting-edge commentary. What's Malkin's beef with Chris Martin? Well, this:
"I don't really care about EMI. I'm not really concerned about that. I think shareholders are the great evil of this modern world."

...Martin told reporters at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre that the band was uncomfortable that they sell so many albums they can affect a major corporation's stock price.

"It's very strange for us that we spent 18 months in the studio just trying to make songs that make us feel a certain way and then suddenly become part of this corporate machine," Martin said backstage.

He criticised what he called "the slavery that we are all under to shareholders."
So. An artist obsesses about his artistic integrity. Not exactly breaking new ground.
