BOTTOMLINES

`Sleep till noon, drink beer, vote Kerry', says Michael Moore

       Washington: Fahrenheit 9/11 director Michael Moore, it seems, has no intention of backing off from his long-cherished campaign to dislodge President George W Bush from office. Seen as the leader of Bush-haters everywhere, Moore's mantra these days is aptly reflected in his latest slogan "Sleep till noon, drink beer, vote Kerry". Moore is not running for office, but his taking part in what he has termed as the "Slacker Uprising Tour" to motivate couch potatoes like him, the apolitical apathetic and simply lethargic to rouse themselves and vote for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry early next month. "Sleep till noon, drink beer, vote Kerry," may not be the most stirring of action plans for election day but the slogan went down well with thousands of Moore's fans in Toledo when he tried it out on them on Monday night. "If George Bush could see this now," Moore cried as the audience stamped its feet and whooped approval at his entry. "It's all over." "Don't come to Toledo, Mr Bush," he continued, to even louder cheers. "This will really depress you. Oh, man!," the Telegraph quoted the film director as saying. "George Bush should pray that all that happens to him and his cronies in the next week is defeat, because if there were any justice in this world, they would be led away in handcuffs," he added as a climax.

Huge trees planted at Gwyn's new home to protect privacy (Go To Top)

      London: Film actress Gwyneth Paltrow and her singer hubby Chris Martin are getting a row of full-grown trees planted around their new London home in a bid to protect any invasion to their privacy. The celebrity couple, who are proud parents of their few months old daughter Apple, are making sure that there are huge plants and bushes at the back of their home so that there are no nosey fans and paparazzi spying on their abode. "Putting in the trees will cost tens of thousands of dollars and will be a very delicate operation, but Gwyneth and Chris are determined to be as secluded as possible from gawpers," Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper quoted an insider as saying. "They have a lovely garden, which will be great for baby Apple, but it is quite exposed. They also use the back entrance more than the front. This measure will provide instant protection," the insider added. The 'Shakespeare In Love' beauty and the 'Coldplay' frontman are also having a 5 feet wall built around the house complete with iron gates, and all the renovations are expected to cost them approximately 500,000 pounds.

Bush-backing costs Arnie his 'Terminator' statue (Go To Top)

      London: Backing President Bush in the oncoming elections has proved to be quite a costly decision for the Californian governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, as the residents of his native Austrian town of Graz are so angry with him that they have decided to withdraw their plans of constructing an 80 ft statue of his. The design for the statue, which was to resemble Arnie's iconic 'Terminator' character, had been unveiled last year and 3.5 million pounds had been collected for the project, reports Ananova. His fans are reportedly so irked that he is supporting the Iraq war which was Bush's initiative, that they are also asking the local authorities to rename the football stadium that has been named after him and take back the honorary ring that had been gifted to him by the town. "Yes, the project has been shelved because it no longer has the backing among the population that it had at the start when he was elected. I think I must be the only one in this town that still wants the project to go ahead," the report quoted the project manager Herwig Hoeller as saying.
