Sorry: MURDOCH's rag NY Post requires a very intrusive registration (asks for DOB and income). I did it so you don't have to.

STUDIOS FOR BUSH

IS the New York Times' chief movie critic, A. O. "Tony" Scott, seeing right-wing bogeymen? "The myth of a monolithically liberal Hollywood is dead," Scott wrote in a Sept. 25 piece noting Hollywood studios "have tried to strengthen their connection with religious and social conservatives," especially in the wake of Mel Gibson's stunning success with "The Passion of the Christ." Scott says a Republican agenda is visible in everything from "Team America" to "The Island," the Michael Bay summer flop which, Scott says, "argues the Bush administration's position on stem cell research." Commentators like online movie biz columnist David Poland aren't so sure. "Put down the pipe, Tony," Poland advised.

MOORE MAKES HIMSELF SCARCE

WHERE is Michael Moore? A British journalist was stood up by the "Fahrenheit 9/11" director in the middle of Times Square after she advertised the proposed rendezvous in The Post in a last-ditch attempt to land an interview with the elusive documentarian. For months, Janet Street-Porter has tried to interview the so-called free-speech proponent for a documentary that will screen on London television next month. "I've tried everything," she said. "I've phoned his agent, been to his apartment, been to his house, left notes." But the man who made interviewing those with something to hide an art form has refused. She took out an ad in The Post last Saturday headlined, "Desperately Seeking Michael Moore," and invited him to meet her in Times Square at midday Monday. "Have you seen Michael Moore?" she was seen asking tourists at the designated time. Street-Porter, who writes a regular column for The Independent in the U.K., told The Post: "I don't know why he won't talk to me. It's not as if I come with a pre-conceived set of opinions." Moore did not return The Post's phone call and e-mail.

2. Michael Moore actually weights 136 pounds and has perfect eyesight.

He wears a chubby suit and glasses so that he can go about his business unrecognized.

MOORE MAKES HIMSELF SCARCE

WHERE is Michael Moore? A British journalist OK, STOP THE TAPE!!!

Hmm, Michael Moore ducking a journalist? A British journalist, no doubt???? Sounds odd indeed.

But, you've gotta love Google.

Granted that she may be "the real thing," but if you're in constant demand for interviews, do you knock yourself out trying to find time with this lady?

Also, isn't it KYOOOT how the Post tries to draw a lame analogy between this BRITISH JOURNALIST'S dubious pursuit with Moore's intrusive style of interviewing? Actually, a better analogy would be what Cindy Sheehan has been doing the last few months; trying to corner a major policymaker and ask him a simple question as to why her son had to die for said policy. But it sounds like this lady, going by the Post now, is just trying to pull a smug, ooh-look-at-me-I'm-interviewing angles along the line of Nancy Pelosi's kid and those godawful campaign "documentaries" on HBO that told us not so much anything about the candidate as it did on just how annoying she is.

6. Would have been funny if Moore had

Hired about 20 MM impersonators to all show up at the same time, and then filmed THAT!!
