The biggest question emerging from the Sarah Jessica Parker horse painting is: when it comes to celebrities, where do we draw the line? Sure they live in the land of fame and fortune and seem to have absolutely everything bigger and better than the average person, but does this make them impervious to derisive laughter over the way they look? Poor SJP, she’s simply trying to sell another perfume like J-Lo, Gwen Stefani and the countless other female stars out there, can’t she get a break? The now infamous artist of the gibelike painting, 14, thinks not. She posted it on her blog, Gallery of the Absurd, with every intention to provoke while denying outright cruelty. 14 tells E-Online, “I don’t feel comfortable teasing people about the way they look. But at the same time, my artistic mission for [the blog] is to observe and record the social commentary springing from celebrity gossip.”
So does this mean she’s just the messenger or the creator of the message SJP=horseface?
She said that she was initially going to paint Rumer Willis but decided against it, “Yes, I might giggle a little when a blogger posts a bad photo of Rumer and calls her a tater head,” she says. “But I feel like she’s still a kid and didn’t want to hurt her feelings.”
That seems a little unfair. Why conclude that SJP is less sensitive than a younger celeb and why deny Rumer of an adult celebrity roasting? If that’s all it is.
Many believe that stars ask for an uncensored lambasting the moment they claim the spotlight, but to paint someone as a blooming horse is just plain cruel. Heck, most of us are still wounded over something said to us in junior high school. I don’t think any amount of fame or fortune can take away the smarting slap of someone criticizing your looks. Nevertheless, it has been proven time and again that if people are not busy lauding the few they’ve placed on pedestals, then they are busy knocking them down with insults. The reasoning being that stars dwell so many levels above the rest of us and so can never really be hurt by what we hurl at them. This may be true. After all, I’ve never stopped an A-lister to ask. But in the end, are such efforts at blatant mockery necessary? I say neigh.
NEIGH!!! hahahaha!
“They let Sarah Jessica Parker’s face on TV and she looks like a foot. ” – Peter Griffin
Making fun of someone’s looks is complete horses**t!!
That is the truth Rhonda! Straight from the horse’s mouth!
If I were a horse I would probably find her attractive. Maybe the artist has animal instincts

Seriously…are you STABLE?
If you take a GALLUP Poll, you would know that the answer to your questions is “yes, he is stable.”
You don’t always have to have the last word. Get off your high horse!! We better stop this horseplay and take it offline.
Sarah remains among my most liked actresses. She’s done some quality stuff.
