Maybe the Bush-bashing frenzy has exhausted itself:
BUSH-bashing belletrist Gore Vidal is refusing to promote his new book, "Imperial America." The tome, just out from Thunder's Mouth Press, consists of anti-Bush diatribes and articles Vidal wrote in the Nation, Esquire and elsewhere from 1975-2004. But Vidal recently canceled interviews for the book, which has gotten a lukewarm reception, and told the publishers he'd only give them three days of his time to promote it. "He's very prickly," huffed a Thunder's Mouth insider. "He won't even talk to us directly. We have to go through his editor at the Nation." A rep for the publisher says Vidal's time was "unexpectedly cut short." (Page Six)
For a schlumpy documentary-maker in a baseball cap, Michael Moore can sure draw a glittery crowd. So many Hollywood Democrats wanted to see his Bush-whacking movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," Tuesday night that he needed two screenings at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills.
Lining up for the 7 p.m. showing were Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres, Mark Wahlberg, Marisa Tomei, Danny DeVito and Rhea Pearlman, David Duchovny and Téa Leoni, Josh Brolin and Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen, Larry David, Rob Reiner, Aaron Sorkin, Larry Gelbart, Brett Ratner, Tom Hayden and son Troy Garity, Ariana Huffington, Spike Jonze, Kelly Lynch, Camryn Manheim and Jack, Kelly and Sharon Osbourne.
Barbra Streisand couldn't escape from the set of "Meet the Fockers." But a bunch of celebs dashed over after the Lakers game for the second screening. Among them were Leo DiCaprio, Chris Rock, Matthew Perry, Billy Crystal, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Sharon Stone and Bernie Cahill, Bill Maher, Jack Black and Wes Anderson. NY Daily News
Makes more sense for Condi to be baking cookies, she has no time, she's busy taking over the world! Although posing Condi naked is a disrespectful slap in the face. It was a win win for Paramount with Condi.

Ooh, the last time I saw Vidal live on Maher's show it was embarrassing. He's morphed into a rat faced pansy that appears to be detoxing from every known drug on earth.
