Considered too hot to handle by the Walt Disney studio in this pre-election
climate, MICHAEL MOORE's scathing documentary, 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' found
a distributor in Fellowship Adventure Group, a union of Miramax, Lion's
Gate and IFC Films. We get reactions from N.Y. moviegoers as they see
the film!
ET was at a New York City screening of the provocative doc last week,
where a huge audience of stars, like LEONARDO DiCAPRIO, RICHARD GERE,
MIKE MYERS, TIM ROBBINS, MARTHA STEWART, LAURENCE FISHBURNE, GLENN
CLOSE and EVA MENDES, came to check out the movie.

LOS ANGELES (Talon News) -- During a fundraising event for Democratic
presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry last Thursday dubbed "An Evening
With John Kerry and Friends," outspoken liberal singer Barbra Streisand
took the opportunity to bash President George W. Bush in song and then
call him "narrow" and "privileged."
The event, which reportedly raised $5 million for Kerry, was held on
June 24, 2004 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California
with a host of Hollywood celebrities and entertainers on hand, including
Ben Affleck, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen,
Benicio del Toro, Robert DeNiro, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Leonardo
DiCaprio, Kirsten Dunst, Rob Reiner, Laurence Fishburne, Gina Torres,
Dustin Hoffman, and Ben Stiller, among others.

War talk in Washington is alarming and unnecessary.
We are patriotic Americans who share the belief that Saddam Hussein cannot
be allowed to possess weapons of mass destruction. We support rigorous
United Nations weapons inspections to assure Iraq’s effective disarmament.
However, a preemptive military invasion of Iraq will harm American national
interests . Such a war will increase human suffering, arouse animosity
tow a rd our country, increase the likelihood of terrorist attacks, damage
the economy, and undermine our moral standing in the world. It will make
us less, not more, secure .
We reject the doctrine—a reversal of long-held American tradition—that
our country, alone, has the right to launch first-strike attacks.
The valid U.S. and U.N. objective of disarming Saddam Hussein can be
achieved through legal diplomatic means. There is no need for war. Let
us instead devote our resources to i m p roving the security and well-being
of people here at home and around the world.
