Stars Strike For Their Writers

This week marks the second week of the writers strike. Yesterday, Hollyscoop hit the picket lines for one of the largest strikes to hit Hollywood. Stars such as Sarah Silverman, Ben Stiller, Felicity Huffman all came out to support their writers.

This is a crucial time in the industry, with the influence of the Internet, writers are boycotting in order to get their cut. This strike is costing the entertainment industry millions and millions of dollars everyday.

We spoke to strikers Kathy griffin, T.R. Knight,Mathew Perry,Zach Braff Jason Alexander, Julia Loius-Dreyfus, Ray Romano , David Spade among others and heard their voice.

We also asked the stars their opinion on the criticisms Ellen Degeneres is receiving from the Writers Guild, to hear their answers log on to tv.hollyscoop.com.

Narcissus! LOL- of course you would say something so ignorant! Your a joke. You can be like the rest of the close minded liberal community and act as if republicans dont care about people but you know what? THAT MAKES YOU A LIAR. I could sit here and write for 24 hours without stopping to back it up with proof of what im saying but....theres no sense in talking to a lib because they are close minded and cannot comprehend the truth.

Good. The less activity the better by the Hollyweird crowd.Most stuff coming out of Hollywood writing or acting stinks big time.

I have an idea, why don't the actors give up a percent of their salaries to the writers and go back to work? The actors hold off on signing contracts until they get their overpriced contracts. Maybe that is the reason the producers don't have the extra money to give to the writers, they pay the actors far too much.

WGA members got screwed royally on DVD royalties last time around. Four cents a copy!!! I'm rootin' for them to get justice this time - more on DVDs, and something on Internet play. And NO, I don't think the stars are all being phony about this. The acting community includes some pretty socially conscious people. Not everyone's a self-centered conservative.

PLease, as if they actually care. All these stars just want to have there picture taken and be on the news because they crave the spotlight. They could give a shit about the writers.
