Liam Neeson visits the Clinton Park Stables to speak out for the horse drawn carriage drivers on Sunday (March 9) in New York City.
The 61-year-old actor disagrees with Mayor Bill de Blasio‘s plans to ban the horse drawn carriage industry. The mayor believes it is inhumane to have the horses operating in a modern city like New York and would like to have the animals replaced with electric cars.
Liam calls the decision to ban the industry criminal. “This is an industry that’s been here since before Abraham Lincoln’s first inauguration,” Liam said (via CBS News) “These horses are well cared for.”
“I know these guys. In the park for over 20 years, I see the joy that these tourists get,” Liam told ABC News. “I’m firm about the fact that we have to make this move.”
Here is what Mayor de Blasio said in a statement: “I respect Liam Neeson a lot. I’m a big fan of his work. But the fact is I’ve put forward a plan and a vision, and the people ratified it in a election, and that’s what mattered most. What we do want to do, and we’ve said this repeatedly, is work with the carriage operators to find a good path for them individually going forward. Other job opportunities for them. They would get first dibs on those job opportunities. We have to put together all the pieces.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK is the right decision in this debate?
Angelina Jolie works those horns on the brand new poster for her highly anticipated film Maleficent.
Here is the movie’s official synopsis: A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal—an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone. Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.

Elisabeth Moss looks super sexy while going topless in a pair of overalls for the cover of New York Magazine‘s latest issue.
Here is what the 31-year-old Mad Men actress had to share with the mag:
On her brief marriage to Fred Armisen: “Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn’t think that I was that young. It was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. At the same time, it turned out for the best. I’m glad that I’m not there. I’m glad that it didn’t happen when I was 50. I’m glad I didn’t have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that’s probably not going to happen again.”
On not discussing her Scientology beliefs with friends: “I would feel the same way, honestly. I think if there was something that I didn’t know and didn’t understand, I would probably feel as opinionated. You know how you’re opinionated about when someone breaks up? Celebrities break up and you just feel like you know what happened?”
On having to do an activity for this interview: “I’ve been stressing about this. I don’t do anything. I don’t go to classes. I hate hiking. I don’t go to flea markets. I would like to do that stuff but I just don’t do that stuff. I was like, ‘I guess we’ll go to the beach, because that’s something I would do if I had time and wasn’t so lazy?’”
