After stupidly appearing naked on her balcony last week, Naomi Watts has done something far less endearing.

Naomi Watts doesn’t agree with suggestions that Hollywood actors should take a pay cut during the current global financial crisis.

Showing just how much of a sheltered and privileged life she leads, Watts says:

“I think we may be more open to negotiation but I think the art world tends to thrive in times of recession.

We need the escapism. We need stories to be told for us to take ourselves away from the reality of our situations or circumstance.”

Yeah, and people need money to live and spare change to go to the cinema to watch the movies, that gives you the luxury of making such a stupid statement when you are pulling in more money per picture, than most people will ever make in their lifetime.

I don’t think anyone has a crux with the income; good luck to her, but try not to be so disjointed from the reality of the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression that you make such a stupid statement.

Is that the fanometre I can see rapidly going backwards?
