Jodie Foster Did Not Retire From Acting
Somewhere in between asking for a wolf whistle, name dropping Honey Boo Boo and declaring that she's a single gayelle, I thought Jodie Foster also officially announced her retirement from doing acting stuff. I should've asked Detective La Toya, Robert Langdon and the Scooby Doo Gang to decipher her speech before I came to that conclusion, because she didn't retire from doing acting stuff. After Jodie Foster gave the most amazing coming out speech since one of my friends came out to his mom by saying, "Yes, mom, I like dick, so stop asking," she went backstage to the press room and let bitches know that she didn't announce her retirement from acting.
"I could never stop acting. You'd have to drag me behind, like, a team of horses. No, I'm not retiring from acting. And, you know, I'd like to be directing tomorrow . . . I'm actually more into it than I have ever been. [My point was] that people change. Change is important. And, you know, hopefully I'll be doing different things than I did when I was three years old and six years old and ten years old and 20 years old . . . My work is evolving."
Jodie also said that the rest of her speech "speaks for itself." Okay, if that's the case, then Jodie's speech is telling me that she dropped acid and chased it with cat tranquilizers before she went on stage, because she looked like she was tripping while falling down a never-ending K-hole. But I'm glad Jodie cleared that up. Jodie is still a lesbian, still gave a magical and wondrous speech, and there's a chance she'll star in a remake of Nell. Chicka, chickabee. (Fun Fact: Every single one of Honey Boo Boo's family members got their nickname from a Nell phrase.)
• 
I liked her speech because it was off the cuff, yet poignant, she hit on everything in her life without telling all her business, and she did it with class...something she has always done. And for people that think this is the first time she has acknowledged her ex-partner, they would be wrong. She has before, she just doesn't scream it fro the rooftops, because it is still possible to be a private celebrity if you choose

All I got out of that whole speech was that she's no Honey Boo Boo. I'm assuming that's a good thing.
............................................
I wasn't really focused on her speech as much as her body.
Fuck, she has a banging body for 50!
MK: " ...... since one of my friends came out to his mom by saying, "Yes, mom, I like dick, so stop asking," "

Bwaahahahahaha. That's bloody awesome!
I don't mind Foster I guess but I do not know how she can associate herself with a raging, misogynist, racist piece of garbage like Gibson. I can feel real empathy for a tortured spirit, but really?
Oh, ok. Judging from all the attention she's receiving, this would be an excellent time to get back to work and unretire then.

Agree with saltydog.
When accepting such an award, it's protocol to thank people, not use it as a forum to come out. It was perfectly narsassistic, and awkward at best.
I never liked her public persona, and find her attitude condescending.
I actually thought she was saying she was going in a different direction in the future. Perhaps only directing and producing. Her announcement about her age being a milestone felt to me like she was saying she was done being in front of the camera, thereby melting into the comment about her life, and privacy. She thanked her partner many times over the years and probably felt that was enough of a 'yes' to inquisitive people asking about her sexuality.
I love how a photograph snapped at one precise moment gets read so many ways. Mel Gibson didn't have this look on his face during her entire speech. I do commend both her and RDJ for being loyal friends.
Sorry about your mom, Jodie, I hope she heard you.
When I hear a star who gives interviews out the ass to promote movies but they'll never talk about who they are dating and they are clearly gay and then cling to privacy, I think pussy.
While I don't know that she ever hid it -- did she have a beard? How is an invasion of privacy simply answering a question of who you are involved in? What hetero actor says, "nunya?"
Now suddenly she is going to coyly sort of tell the world she is gay. Honey, many have come out way before you when they didn't have to and risked much more than you, Oscar winning actress.
The speech would have made sense if she was still relevant. I don't know what cloud of delusion she was floating on, but nobody gives enough of a crap to invade her privacy. It's pretty obvious she's been hanging around Mel too long & it's starting to rub off.

I thought she was retiring from acting too. Did anybodys TV go mute during part of her speech?
Mine did as well. I'm assuming she said dirty words:)
Jodie Foster should not take uppers before she gives a speech...Clearly they haven't warn off judging by her new comment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Vanity’s a business built to fleece the unique. Silicone and stars collide. The rest will fall in line. Just as beautiful as you are, it’s so pitiful what you are.You should have seen this coming all along."
I thought it was sort of a tacky and obnoxious way to come out. Come out while winning a lifetime achievement award and talking to a bunch of self-involved actors about how important privacy is to her. Great way to brush under the rug that she's spent 3 decades sending the message that you need to pretend to be straight to succeed.
I thought she was retiring from acting too. Did anybodys TV go mute during part of her speech? Or is my TV just fucked up. It went silent for part of it,so I thought that was why I was confused about what she was trying to say.
Surprise, surprise,Bret Easton Ellis (the voice of out-and-proud Gay people everywhere) shares his thoughts about Jodie's speech:

Oh c'mon, dear. Take a look at the close up. If what you are saying is true, she needs to get her money back because they left a lot of lines.
Jodie Foster has the cutest nose ever! And I'm pleased to see her up there sans weave and extensions. She looks amazing. God damn amazing. Love the wrinkles around her eyes too. She makes me want to dip into the lady pond.
I'm glad she hasn't retired. The UK has Dame Judi and Dame Maggie and we need some classic over-50 actresses. They just need good projects and scripts. Meryl can't play everyone. And Faye ruined her face with the plastic.

IA, she could have said a little something about her stellar film career besides saying she's been in it for 47 years (repeatedly). I liked this speech much more last night because I was so pleased to see she finally had the courage to come out but seeing it again today, she's all over the place. We won't see her on the stage again, but she's not giving up acting. She's proud to come out in the most public way possible, but her her privacy is paramount. And why she gotta bring the Boo Boos into her lesbian Twilight Zone speech?
I loved "The Accused" and "Silence of the Lambs" but some of that other shit, like "Nell" and that one with Richard Gere, were so fucking embarrassing.
Speaking of which, my friend used to train her little cousins, who were toddlers and just learning to speak, to speak some Nell. She taught them "chicken pot pie" and "miz chickabee" and "swaaaaaayin in the wind." That would probably count as child abuse nowadays.
Also, her (kinda) coming out speech was a big old pile of verbal diarrhea. Either come out or don't; no one's holding their breath over it, seriously.
That's what I thought too when she made that statement. Going through that with my Dad right now. Heartbreaking disease.

@ M.E. - Her mother has dementia or Alzheimers. That's why she made reference to something like, "I know you're inside those blue eyes somewhere. And if I say this 3 times, I hope it will somehow magically enter your soul..."
Foster was just wrong on ten different places last night. Take just one: her two boys are sitting out there, center table on Mama's big night and they so desperately want to be proud of Mama. Well, it's all about me, Mama shouts back. Mama could have done something classy, something to make her boys proud, like talk about the career her award was supposed to be about: an andecdote over "Taxi Driver", a scary thing on "Lambs". She is one of the few to go from child to adult star; she could of made an observation about that. But no, not when she's 'single' and everybody can be made to feel her pain. Anybody who's been mortified by a parent's behavior knows what those two kids went through last night.

Why do truck driving lesbianas always have such lousy hair?
lol!
Do the paps really care about her? They like the young, dumb things who slip in their own vomit.
If she wants privacy, she should umm....retire!
Anyone remember this? :D

I wouldn't mind seeing Jodie star in more movies. She hasn't done anything lately since, what, Panic Room?

i don't mind jodie. sometimes she is great ("the accused") and sometimes she is so so so mind-numbingly bad, it distracts from the otherwise good flick ("the silence of the lambs").

I like a lot of her earlier stuff but she hasn't been at the top of her game in years.
Most unflattering hairstyle ever.

I still want to meet her. I would act all excited and tell her how good she was in the movie "Candleshoe".

suckandfuck, do us all a favor, and hang yourself. Oh, and your parents should be shot for raising a disgusting pig like yourself.
Jodie Foster, no one cares about privacy for celebrities. Oh "waaaaaaah huh huh huh huh!"...the rich people who do asshole things get their million dollar asses in papparazzi pictures. Think about the poor papparazzis who have to take pictures of famouse crazies to make a living. More importantly, think about the young children starving in Africa who's dreams can't even reach the happiness of stardom. What a bitch you are. Jillian

I was a bit bewildered by this speech. Jodie has kept mum on this for so long and I wonder why she felt compelled to address the issue now (albeit sort of cryptically).
I understand the notion of being loud and proud and all of that, but at the same time, it's really nobody's business who she cares to fuck, and she's always been so adamant about her privacy, so why even go there, I wonder? It's not like the entire world didn't already know.
It wasn't too long ago that 'coming out' was a really big damn deal - now it's like, "Who cares?" I know I don't care who has sex with whom.
"My pug is smarter than your honor student."
@Orangina LOL! I've been thinking this all along. They're basically both using each other for fame and it is reported that their popularity has waned since they started dating. Her 15min are slowly ticking away.In the end,we are the ones who will win here! :-)

What's more sad than the fact that 10,000 animals got euthanized today? The fact that because of the ignorance of humans, it will happen again tomorrow. End the cycle. Spay and neuter your pets & please adopt your next pet from a shelter.

I was not at all confused by her speech. I got her point. She said what she wanted to say without a press conference, a People Magazine cover etc. Classy I thought.
Me too.

So Jodie isn't retiring from acting, good for her. However (and slightly off topic), rumor has it Kanye wants Kim to stop doing reality TV. From his mouth to God's ears, hopefully !

Haha wouldnt that be awesome if Kanye had some master plan to destroy Kim's fame. He dresses her like an idiot and then forces her to quit her reality show. I'm onto you Kanye, and I like where you're going with this.
His new facelift is pulled so tight he can barely smile!
Wow she can't even form grammatically correct sentences and rational thought! And she is one of the smart actors.... I guess they have a different rating system.

"I could never stop acting. You'd have to drag me behind, like, a team of horses. No, I'm not retiring from acting. " But I'll bitch about lack of privacy for as long as humanely possible.
I bet she has some really cool toys...

I stopped liking her around the time she did that moronic letter supporting Kristen Stewart. Not so much the sentiments, mind you, so much as all the self congratulation, poor writing and general shittiness that she spewed.
And, as mike says, she's been living off past glories for a while now.
She is and idiot who defends horrible people.
