When celebrities say jump, WWTW asks, “how high?”
So when the site got an email alerting us about actress Amanda Peet’s position on vaccines, I nearly tripped over myself to find a clean syringe.
Peet (“Saving Silverman,” “Igby Goes Down”) is the mother of a two-year-old girl, Frances Pen, and she’s become an activist for vaccinations.
According to the press release: “[Peet] consulted her brother-in-law, a respected pediatrician, who introduced her to immunization experts in the medical field. Soon Peet became a spokesperson for vaccinateyourbaby.org, a national public service campaign to educate the public on what’s true and what’s false in the ongoing vaccination controversy.”
She nearly convinced me … until I read her quote about Hollywood activism in general:
“The interesting thing to me about the Hollywood community is that it embraces the scientific evidence for global warming and climate change, but ignores the scientific data showing no link between vaccines and autism.”
Sorry, Lil’ WWTW, Daddy has to do some more research on this …

“The interesting thing to me about the Hollywood community is that it embraces the scientific evidence for global warming and climate change, but ignores the scientific data showing no link between vaccines and autism.”
Good point, though the consensus on global warming varies, as does the embracing of it by Hollywood’s in crowd. That former Weather Channel head? Doesn’t exist. Just like reporters at a Gore speech.
And I believe a semi-auto wielding Amanda Peet, sans shirt and bra, as was the case in The Whole Nine Yards, could cure damn near anything and may be a leading cause of global warming.
