Sherry Lansing, the soon-to-be-retired Paramount studio honcho and friend of Sen. John Kerry, is said to be "depressed."
Actress Sharon Stone, who stumped for Mr. Kerry in Wisconsin, reportedly was "traveling" yesterday. It wasn't clear whether the "Basic Instinct" star had fled the country, as she had hinted that she might do if the Democratic nominee lost.
There were tears and tribulations. Long sighs and short tempers. Shock and bawl.
For a rich and powerful demographic used to getting its way, Hollywood was downbeat yesterday as President Bush — more heinous than a mid-February release date to so many celebrities and other bold-faced names — made his gracious victory speech. Not only entertainers were said to be dispirited. The literary crowd in New York was crying into its Evian.
"Sure, I feel terrible," said New Yorker editor David Remnick, whose published endorsement of Mr. Kerry was a first for the magazine. "There are a lot of long faces today."
And "Fahrenheit 9/11" propagandist Michael Moore's Web site actually went silent.
That's the same Mr. Moore who only a couple of weeks ago had paused in his anti-Bush road trip to opine: "I have a feeling that slackers are going to rise up in this election. The slacker motto is: Sleep till noon, drink beer, vote Kerry."
George Soros, the Hungarian-born billionaire who went on his own 12-city speaking tour and spent an estimated $17 million on ads and get-out-the-vote drives to defeat the president, posted a message on his Web site describing himself as "distressed."
"I'll be back," he wrote.

Who knew "moral values" voters could triumph over production values?

"Shock and bawl."
LOL. Losers! You all go see Team American y'hear!
tell sharon stone that after seeing her last few films, I'm sure a lot of people felt like leaving the country, too.
This is why I haven't set foot in a theater for more than 2 years.
Will the last celeb leaving Hollywood for France please turn out the lights?
the boss, bon jovi, al franken, whoopi, martin sheen, rather,charac, and the list could go on for days. i really want to thank them for all their hard work in helping defeat john kerry by helping him.
Soros spent more than $23 million and his friend who owns Progressive Insurance spent $23 mil, too. That was just the beginning.
"latest box-office flop", LOL!!!
Great post. Schaedenfruede BUMP!!!
btw, Progressive Insurance is a lousy place to work. Their headquarters not far from me and they are notoriously bad employers.
Yes, lots of long faces at the studio I had a meeting at today. I had to fake glum.
"It wasn't clear whether the "Basic Instinct" star had fled the country, as she had hinted that she might do if the Democratic nominee lost."
Same crap we heard 4 years ago. How many of these clowns actually left the US?
Their people may be finding happier working conditions soon.

Bush played the loonies brilliantly, he never really confronted them, even Michael Moore and that movie, because he realized something the loonies didn`t; The majority of Americans aren`t NUTS. All the loonies did was dig themselves and Kerry a deeper hole with each passing loony act they did. The only message they put out was "Stay the hell away from us" and Americans did.
