Michael Moore Tops List of Least-Intriguing Stars
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Director Michael Moore, whose anti-Iraq (news - web sites) war film "Fahrenheit 9/11" sparked a firestorm of controversy before becoming a post-election footnote, topped an annual list on Monday of Hollywood's "coldest" celebrities.

The outspoken documentarian, who seemed to be everywhere during the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, urging defeat of President Bush (news - web sites), ranks No. 1 on this year's "Frigid 50" roster of lackluster stars published by online movie magazine FilmThreat.com.

The Web site, known for an anti-establishment take on the entertainment industry, said its list names the stars it found to be the "the polar opposite of the hottest celebrities: these are the least powerful, least-inspiring, least-intriguing people in Hollywood."

4. Whatever..
I've met Michael Moore, and he's not "cold" at all. He's genuine, passionate, and a true American Patriot. Here's something cold for you Film Threat.. Fuck you!

5. Which, in itself, makes him intriguing.
I suppose it never occured to FilmThreat.com, whoever that is, that Moore isn't a Hollywood celebrity.

7. I'd like to vote FilmThreat.com
Edited on Tue Nov-23-04 02:46 PM by Downtown Hound
the least intriguing online magazine in existence, given that I've never heard of it and I don't think many others have. But leave it to Yahoo to parade them down the street as long as it contains some anti-Moore material.

8. ho-hum...
If I ran a website that no one had ever heard of and I wanted some attention, I'd come up with a stupid best-/worst-of list, because I know how much the lazy corporate whores love that kind of shit.

Now, whom to pick as number one? I'd need someone that the aforementioned lazy corporate whores would love to say made it to the top of a worst-of list. Whom to pick? Whom to pick? :shrug:

9. He really is a huge hideous bore, from the outside.
But he makes such damn good movies. And it's what's on the inside that counts anyway.

Hate to be second best in that category.
