Rupert Everett is a tool. Don’t believe me? There’s lots of evidence. Back in 2007, he decided to trash-talk everyone from Diane Keaton to Robert DeNiro to Al Pacino, calling them “tragic parodies of themselves.” Then a few months ago he bashed his fellow gay men for wanting or needing or desiring to become parents, calling gay parenting “tiresome, egocentric and vain”. Because Rupert knows about vanity, that’s why he mangled his face with surgery and botox. Perhaps he saved the best for last week’s tirade, when he mocked Michael Jackson as a freak, then trash-talked former friends Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow. I can get behind the Paltrow trash-talking in general, but when Rup claims he’d prefer Katie “Jordan” Price to Paltrow, things get a bit fishy.

It’s past time for Rupert’s nasty words of anti-wisdom to cost him something big. Rup’s not really working that much in film or television anymore. Allegedly, he’s got a small part in something called St Trinian’s 2: Legend of Fritton’s Gold, which screams “OSCAR” to me. And maybe he’s on Broadway…? Whatever. The biggest gig Rupert had going for him was as some kind of contributor to Vanity Fair. In the past, Rupert kissed enough butt to keep the editor (Graydon Carter) happy, even telling The Daily Beast that Graydon had a “monster c-ck” and that Graydon is “an amazing f-ck”. Seriously. Rup said that about his editor. But apparently, Rup won’t kiss ass forever. He was trash talking Graydon recently, and now Rup’s out the door at VF:

Rupert Everett is famously outspoken but his most recent outburst has cost him a lucrative sideline.

The actor has been sacked as contributing editor of Vanity Fair after making inappropriate comments about the editor.

Everett, 50, described Graydon Carter during an interview as a ‘weird character’ who is ‘rather fat’.

‘Rupert regrets being so indiscreet,’ says an insider. ‘He’s coming to the end of his Broadway run in Blithe Spirit, so money is tight.’

A year ago Everett had to apologise for calling British soldiers ‘whining wimps’.

A Vanity Fair source said: ‘When his remarks reminded Graydon that Rupert was still listed, it seemed some housecleaning was in order.’

Well done, Vanity Fair. Now keep the Johnny Depp covers coming, and we’re in business. Can Rupert Everett be persona non grata from now on? Can he be fired from everything, and then maybe he’ll resort to telling his “witty” little thoughts to random people as they pass him on the street. I get the feeling that Rupert thinks that Americans will find him charming for three reasons: because of his accent, or because we think his nastiness is “eccentric”. No, and no. Take him back, Britain!
