Daryl Hannah

A little Hollywood tidbit here. According to Fox News Daryl Hannah was arrested, along with dozens of other protestors, in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. The star of Splash, Grump Old Men, Roxanne and very little else, was protesting the development of a warehouse on privately owned land that currently serves as a community garden. Also participating in the deomonstration was, who else, Danny Glover; there's an ex-celebrity that never met a cause he didn't like.

The landowner claims that the "gardeners" began squatting on the land 14 years ago and that he's been more than kind in letting them stay that long. However, he is paying $30,000 a month in mortgage and other fees and decided it's time to develop the property. He also claims that rather than be grateful the squatters have sued him, called his home and harrased him and picketed him. I think he put it best when he said,"After 14 years of free land use I think you say thank you."

While some protestors chained themselves to concrete filled barrels Hannah instead chose to go back among her own kind and climbed up a walnut tree. It's too easy isn't it? There's just too much to say, so please insert your own joke about a Hollywood nut hanging out in a nut tree.

The fire department had to use a bucket to elevate officers who subsequently took the has-been actress into custody.

Isn't it nice that Danny Glover and Daryl Hannah believe they should be able to tell people what to do with their own land? Good thing their not arrogant. I wonder if either of these nuts offered to compensate Mr. Horowitz for his $30,000 a month expenditure? Wouldn't that have been easier than climbing a nut tree? Who can afford to lose that money more, a few ex-celebrities or some private land owner?

And who will compensate the poor LA Police Officers who spent an afternoon trying to determine which were the actual nuts and which were the celebrities? I believe the took 200 walnuts into custody in the hopes that 2 of them were Hannah and Glover.
