I swear, this is my last James Frey post. But it's a doozy.

Bruce Willis weighs in.  Yes.  Bruce Willis.

From The New York Post (so you know it's gotta be good!):

"Look at what happened to James Frey in the last two weeks," Willis rants to iFMagazine. "That's a great book and so is the follow-up book ["My Friend Leonard"]. And just because his publisher chose to say that these were memoirs, it took it out of being a work of fiction, a great work of fiction and very well-written, to this guy having to go be sucker-punched on 'Oprah' by one of the most powerful women in television just to grind her own ax about it."

"Hey, Oprah," Willis continues. "You had President Clinton on your show, and if this [bleep] didn't lie about a couple of things, I'm going to set myself on fire right now. James Frey is a writer, OK? He can write whatever he wants. It's fiction, and it's just hard, it's just shameful how he was treated in some of these things."

...

Without pausing for breath, Willis turned on Entertainment Weekly, which recently wrote that "Die Hard IV" was one sequel they "didn't want to see." EW "hates me," he fumed. "They've hated me since they've been a magazine. F - - - them. And you can go tell them that."

I think he's just still mad that his musical career never took off.  The entire time I lived in Boston, half of the $1 section at In Your Ear -- at every single location -- was made up of Bruce's Return of Bruno cassette. 

Good job, Bruce.  Not only do you sound insane, somewhat incoherent and possibly drunk, but now you're going to be on Oprah's Shit List.
