Looks like you can lump Hollywood into that pile of crappy, greedy people mooching off of the American taxpayer.

On Saturday, the New York Times reported on the millions of dollars from states that have been going straight to the pockets of Hollywood studios to finance movies via tax breaks.

Hollywood is just as bad as those shady Wall Street finance people!

For example, Louisiana taxpayers funded $27 million of Brad Pitt's $167 million dollar movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The paper also notes that this is the state’s biggest movie payout to date!

Hollywood producers and studios claim that the state tax breaks allow them to keep entertainment jobs in the U.S. and create jobs.

But, au contraire!

The report points to the case of a straight-to-DVD Wesley Snipes and Cybil Shepherd-starring picture called Hard Luck filmed in the state of Rhode Island.

The seaside state gave Hard Luck $2.65 million in tax breaks, but Rhode Islander's only netted $1.9 million in return.

Why don't the politically 'active' stars take on their own greedy industry.

Ahem, Brad?

Did that Benjamin Buttons movie generate more than $27 million in revenues for Louisiana?

We'll give an Amen to that!

45-year old Johnny Depp has been voted as the sexiest man in the world by the UK edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.

The slivering fox George Clooney (47) came in at number two and Jake Gyllenhaal (27) clocked in third.

The young guys just can't compare to the men who got their breaks in the 80's!

Poppa Brad Pitt was ranked #5 and the delicious David Beckham only came in at 9.

John McCain is taking a page out of the Hollywood TV playbook!

When your ratings are slipping, schedule a stunt to give 'em a jolt!

Well, looks like Senator McCain is doing just that.

He's scheduled to appear on the David Letterman show on Thursday to likely plead mea culpa for dissing Dave a few weeks ago to 'save' the economy for Katie Couric.

Set your DVR's y'all!

We bet there'll be lots of funny stuff!

Ho ho ho!

Reports are swirling that Lindsay Lohan plans to slut it up as a sexy Sarah Palin for Halloween.

HoHan will supposedly sport the glasses, a 'perky' red suit and lots of boobaliciousness.

And, sa MAN Ronson is apparently considering a Todd Palin get up to compliment her lady.

Hilarious!

Someone's being a little Johnny Drama-esque!

Mark Wahlberg slammed Saturday Night Live when he was asked how he felt about the show's October sketch entitled Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals.

The former Funky Bunch-er said:

Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And "Saturday Night Live" hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don't even know who's on the show now.

Watch it for yourself.

That shiz was funny to us!

"Whoever wins this election, Bush's impact has changed the world. This man has left us with three wars — in Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror — and the legacy of the pre-emptive strike. These are legacies that will haunt his successor for years. It's good for people, before the election, to think about who they elected eight years ago and about where we are as a country right now."

Arriba! Arriba!

For the second week in a row, Beverly Hills Chihuahua was the #1 movie in the box office.

Disney's cute doggies brought in another $17.5 million. Its 10-day total is at $52 million!

Hot dog!

During these crappy times, guess there's nothing like an adorable Disney movie to make you feel warm and fuzzy for a few hours.

Newcomer thriller flick Quarantine nabbed the #2 spot with $14.2 million in ticket sales.

And to round out the top three, Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe's CIA drama Body of Lies debuted to a less than impressive $13.1 million.

Why didn't these big boys draw in bigger crowds?

Well, a suit said, "Body of Lies may have dealt with too sober a topic after all the disastrous financial news."

Is that a good enough answer?

Our email was going crazy last night!

A bunch of Perezcious readers emailed to tell us that Paper Planes crooner M.I.A. performed with a big ass baby belly at the Diesel xXx party on Saturday night in Brooklyn.

So, is this the reason why the hipster music fave 'retired' this summer?

M.I.A. recently got engaged. Click here to read all about that.

Double congrats!
