Double dog dare her to say this in most of those Arabic countries she mentioned…
“I think there are a lot of things here [in the United States] that we’re strict about that they’re not as strict about in other countries, and I prefer to live and let live! You don’t have to be so strict about everything,” Elizabeth added.
Shannon Elizabeth Defends ‘Terrorist’ Misconception
Texan-born Shannon Elizabeth comes from Arabic ancestry and she wants to set one pretty predominant misconception straight.
“When a lot of Americans think Arabic, they think Saddam Hussein and automatically they think terrorist,” Elizabeth told Tarts at the recent Palm Pre Launch party in Hollywood. “But it’s not the case, especially American born. I’m very proud of my heritage and my family and I think there are a lot of different denominations of Arabic. My dad wasn’t raised Muslim and I know some people that were that are amazing.”
But on an even more important note, the DWTS alum plans to strip for “Playboy” again at some point in the future when the “time is right” and she feels “in the right shape” and thinks Americans need to loosen up when it comes to embrace their sexuality.
“I think there are a lot of things here that we’re strict about that they’re not as strict about in other countries, and I prefer to live and let live! You don’t have to be so strict about everything,” Elizabeth added.
Good thing she still has her looks to rely on. She has the intellect of pocket lint.
Arabic is a language,Miss Bonehead
Because, ya know, having enough dignity and sense of self-worth not to abuse the intimacy of one’s body and cheapen its beauty by exposing yourself to every stranger that passes by is just so unenlightened.
The prudes of the world may not always communicate their point well, but it’s this: the body is a beautiful thing, meant for beautiful things, in one of the most precious and intimate acts of human relation. If you don’t wear the family jewels like costume jewelry–or for Ms. Elizabeth, wear your designer clothes like sweat pants and a t-shirt–then why treat your body like a drive-through?
This girl clearly has a whistling sound around her head when it gets windy.
But, she is hot.
She is an insult to Texas
Now that’s a burka!
She’s from Texas? NO FREAKING WAY!
She’s from my home town.
The whacko from Waco? And what the hell is she wearing (not that it matters that much) — it looks like she’s at an I Dream of Jeannie party at the Hustler Casino.
As much as people are railing against her, she is a slacker in the department of stupid when compaired with another Texan actress, Eva Longoria.
Agree re that… I’m sure Shannon is an upstanding citizen, but if I wore an outfit like that (OK not exactly LIKE that) — a stupid outfit… I would deserve to be made fun of. Hell, I deserve to be made fun of right now.
Steph… God’s blessings fall on the foolish and the wise. He works in mysterious ways.
Wha…? Did she say something?
This is Why We Fight.
Floyd,what do you know about the Hustler Casino?
I’ve driven by it (only — promise!), but that Shannon looks like what I imagine a denizen of that place would be. I’m more of a “The Venetian” guy.
So basically she’s out in public topless and wearing a g-string. WTF? Couldn’t she be arrested on suspicion of being naked?
And what is up (heh!) with those Bewbs, as Opera Chic would put it? They look about as real (and as rock-hard, no doubt) as a couple of lacrosse balls.
The sunglasses make a nice touch; she was wearing ‘em so’s people wouldn’t notice her.
Dear Shannon,
I’m sorry that Megan Fox is getting all the attention now — is this what you thought you’d try to siphon some of that away?
Please do move to another country that’s “more open about their sexuality” — because, if memory serves, you weren’t able to make any money or gain any fame by getting naked in this country.
Yeah, in fact — try wearing that slingshot in downtown Damascus, and get back to me.
p.s. You were a big crybaby during DWTS, and people hated you for that.
p.s.s. I’m not bitter. You’re just an idiot.
How about a nice cup of “Hateraide”?
Wow, she said what she said, some of it not particularly smart, but she’s entitled to her opinion and people get all personal in their attacks…kinda like the people they profess to dislike.
She’s long on legs and short on synapses, definitely. I think she might have accidentally stumbled on one point, though: People of arabic ancestry *do* tend to get singled out and pilloried somewhat, regardless of their religion. We’re friends with a coptic family from Egypt, for instance – Christians – and they’ve had rocks thrown at them and their house vandalized and stuff because everyone things they’re muslims. So I’ll give her that one, and obviously she’s fine to look at, but, hey, princess: pick an issue, ok? You wanna’ talk about unfair stereotypes of people of arabic descent, or do you wanna’ talk about how strippers should be prouder of their stripperdom? Discussing both at the same time just muddies the issue and confuses everything and makes you look like an idiot.
Wow, she said what she said, some of it not particularly smart, but she’s entitled to her opinion and people get all personal in their attacks…kinda like the people they profess to dislike.
But,,,but…I liked my whistling comment
But you’re right, there is a line between criticism and vitriol. And yes, she is hot.
Hey man she is in the public and she opened her mouth. I expect, no DEMAND women be a little more intelligent than the bs she just spewed. She made herself a target. If you make yourself a target then be prepared to be shot at. And Eva Longoria is a total bimbo so….they both deserve each other.
I’m Iranian and I know all about getting attacked because of your nationality.
I’m just over women who talk about being “free” to pose for Playboy — like that’s ever been a right denied to them.
She’s entitled to her opinion and I’m entitled to call her opinion crap. That’s what being an American is all about. Because every time they have sex, they have to have a baby…
..no, wait a minute. That’s Catholics, and that’s a line from “Monty Python’s Meaning of Life”.
My bad.
Gentlemen please keep both hands on the keyboard. Mike.
By the way, Brandon, looking forward to Entrench.org!
What? Why me, especially?
–Mike!
It’s that open mouth, squinty-eyed look in your avatar!
To be honest,I don’t even know who she is..is she on some bonehead show like “Survivor”?
She’s a model/actress, first known from the American Pie movies, and now she’s kind of a semi-washed up celebutant.
@ Wankette: “I’m just over women who talk about being “free” to pose for Playboy” – definitely not free. They get a few thousand bucks for doing that.
And they should be proud because? Hugh Hefner is the biggest and most disgusting misogynist out there. Not only a misogynist but if you ever see a really in depth interview with the man you notice the one thing…he is friggen insane and a total Narcissisist. I saw the Bio show on him and it was like are you kidding? The man in an interview from the 50’s with Mike Wallace couldn’t look at Wallace, he sat there hunched over with this evil smirk eyes shifting back and forth..probably so doped up with speed…..Playboy is nothing to be proud of. So please..if you want to impress us find a woman who is happily married, with an awesome husband and a few kids running around. See thats a real woman..OK?
She’s no Shelley Winters.
Hey! How come Tracy’s not here yelling at Eric? My Stephanie Seymour picture left more to the imagination than this!
What gives, Tracy?
Ya gotta ease your way into these pictures, Mike. Tracy was just reining in the wyld stallyn straight outta the gate.
My God you’re right, Eric!
She broke me. Now every time I post a photo I think, “will Tracy be mad?” I had some good Anna Kournikova shots I didn’t use…
Shannon Elizabeth, the village bicycle…..OK I know I am mean but come on…the picture screams call me a bleep…. If Letterman can call a real woman like Sara Palin a slutty Flight Attendent then Shannon Elizabeth in that Bunny Ranch 1500 an hour attire deserves some attention does she not? She wore it for teh simple reason thats all she is. Period. How horribly insecure she must be to flaunt herself like that.
I know hateraid…I am sorry but she made herself a target. She is a moron and should at least know its better to keep her mouth closed than allow everyone to know just how low her IQ truly is.
I don’t necessarially disagree with that statement. But the sharp-eyed viewer might note that photo was snapped in 2001, this is 2009…eight year old photo you are judging her on.
Nicely played, Outlaw. Prize is a day at the shore with Kriskey. As for Miss Shannon, some things will barely change…
Neat!
Hey Outlaw! I have a big beachball we can toss to each other. And I’ll make sandwiches, okay?
How about tuna? You like tuna? I like tuna.
I get it she is forgiven for a photo taken 8 years ago?
I do like tuna.
I’m already at the beach, just not a great deal of water around…unless you count the Tigris River. I wouldn’t recommend swimming in that sewer.
Huzzah!
Hark to the tale of Outlaw,
And the boy he loved so dear…
They remained the best of friends,
For years and years and years.
That is almost as creepy as the Six Flags guy
We can be “Team Discovery Channel!”
Well in all honesty, her clothes were probably sheer, not see through. Paparazzi are known to use techniques involoving powerful flash photography to get “nude” pictures of starlets when they wear this type of clothing.
I’ll give a nickel to anyone who can name the B-grade horror movie she starred in before the American Pie movies (and before the boob job) no cheating (aka googling)!
Not sure the horror movie (Jack Frost only counts as a horror movie for Michael Keaton fans, right?), but my first (and favorite) memory of Miss ‘lizbeth comes from the otherwise dreadful Arli$$. Can’t recall if it was a Russkie or Czech, but that was one sexy accent (and gal).
It was Jack Frost, but not the Keaton one, this one:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116671/
Where she is billed as Shannon Elizabeth Fadal. I guess they cut off her last name to stuff her boobs. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself with that one
she was in scary movie 1 & jack frost(not sure which was b4 am pi
