Actor Billy Bob Thornton spars with CBC Radio host Jian Ghomeshi

Full story: www.google.com

Actor Billy Bob Thornton has laid claim to his own Joaquin Phoenix moment. An ornery Thornton appeared on CBC radio's "Q" on Wednesday morning to promote his band, the Boxmasters, and was alternately belligerent and bizarre before drawing host Jian Ghomeshi into an argument about the way his appearance on the show had been promoted.

What a jerk. The interviewer mentions all his accomplishments and he gets his panties in a wad? He then wastes everyones time being a 2 yr. old while he could have been promoting his band. If I was one of the members I would be pi$$ed. I guess he thought that was more mature than just saying "Let's not talk about my acting" and moving on. Stick to acting you're more interesting when people tell you what to say. If you didn't want to talk you should have let a band member do the interview.

I just watched the video of the Billy Bob's radio interview and I would like to say that he is the BIGGEST A$$ EVER! Who in the he11 does he think he is??? You can't help but see the uncomfortable tension that he brought to his band members with his rude, off-the-wall antics. I have to give kudos to the D.J. who was doing the interview, because he handled Billy Bob with complete professionalism and grace and was a lot nicer than I would have been. I would have asked that s.o.b. to leave my studio as soon as he gave that first vague response! Not to mention, Billy Bob was there to promote their new album and then he doesn't even play or sing in the studio. He has the other band members do an instrumental piece and he walks out. Unbelieveable!

Billy Bob, get over yourself! You're no better than anyone else. Hardly anyone knows your music and shame on you for not being gracious when the D.J. pointed out your career of accomplishments - you ungrateful jerk! Good luck to the other band members and I hope they find another drummer and lead singer, because the one they have now is defective!

I thought he was awesome in Slingblade then I found out he was married to Angelina and I thought oh that's awesome. Then he made some public statements after their divorce that were not kind about her. Never liked him after that.

we got enough lousy music out there put out by 'legit' musicians....i wish guys like billy bob and bruce willis and russel crowe would just stop trying to waste our time getting us interested in some mediocre band theyve formed.

its obvious that billy bob was just creating an incident to try and get everyone to remember his bands name.

billy bob has made one good movie (slingblade) and 30 sh!tty ones.

Won't go to any of his movies or buy any of his music. He was intentionally ride, crude and socially unacceptable.Struggling to be a star then acting like this after you made it? Not much class Billy Bob. One good movie is right. Two good parts Slingblade and U-Turn. The rest is below average. This was sorry. The rstof his band members weren't very happy with what he said either.

He cut his Canadian tour short, because the Canandians didn't want him there any longer! THAT'S WHAT YA GET THERE OL' BILLY-BOB!!!!!!

http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/bi...

Willie Nelson's website says they canceled because band members have the flu. Ya, right! Billy-Bob blew it and I hope his band gets rid of him for it!

Nobody would listen to even one minute of Billy Bob music if it was for the notoriety from the movie Slingblade. Instead of distancing himself from the movie he should embrace it.

Obviously Billy has some demons of unforgiveness! You can't forgive others until you forgive yourslef. So the ten thousand dollar question is what is Bob beating himself up over? Live by the sword, die by the sword. He showed absolutely no compassiion or forgiveness and acted out in a dysfunctional way. You reap what you so is perfectly illustrated in how the Canadians responded to his vile and putrid comments of hate directed at Canadians. Thanks Canada for putting him in check. Just another illustration of how absolute power corrupts absolutely! He obviously has a swollen Hollywood head and has forgot where he comes from.

My next door neighbor told me she would crawl over one mile of sharp carpet nails on her hands and knees just to hear Billy Bob Thornton fart over a short wave radio.

Aquarius

Avoid making promises today, or even believing in other people's promises. Today is not a good day to make commitments, as they are not likely to materialise. Taking risks is a no-no. Try to relax until the numbers are in your favour. Those pursuing their career will benefit.
