Written by

John on

After his impossibly dicky behavior during an interview on Canadian radio -- which we reported on earlier this week -- Billy Bob, who wants to be taken seriously as a musician, tried to explain his bizarre comments to an unwelcoming Canadian audience who he called "mashed potatoes without the gravy" in that same interview. The Toronto Star reports: After commenting on the beautiful theatre and the legendary performer they were opening for (Willie Nelson), Thornton said, "It seems as if when I say something it's in the news." When that drew boos, Thornton continued: "Boo all you want, but I want to say something.... Read Full Story

Billy Bob Thornton , the crown prince of Hollywood douchebags, second only to this guy , went on Jimmy Kimmel last night and for those looking to see Kimmel pin Thornton to the wall for his downright inexcuseable behavior on Canadian radio, don't hold your breath. However, if you like softball interviews chock-full of self-congratulatory, mind-numbing pansiness, watch as Kimmel sides with this varsity A-hole. It's very disappointing. We expected more from the interview. No doubt Thornton worked out all the questions before hand with Kimmel's producers. Lame. For honest hilarity, check out our Colbert Report clips.
