Michael Moore is Giving Away His New Movie
Maybe a learnt lesson from when SiCKO was leaked on Google Video last year, Michael Moore is giving away free downloads of his latest documentary Slacker Uprising, his get out the younger person vote flick.
Is there a catch? Kinda. "This is being done entirely as a gift to my fans," Moore writes on his website for the movie. "The only return any of us are hoping for is the largest turnout of young voters ever at the polls in November." So yeah, free is good, but your right to vote is even better. A preview of the movie is below.

The campaign season is heating up, especially if you measure according to the proliferation of Internet-based fund-raising groups self-identified as Olbermann fans, hockey moms, drag queens, vegans, expats, DJs, and, of course, artists. But it's that last group that gets it together tonight at Art for Obama events across the country. LA's gathering is at Bert Green's spot downtown, where you can expect a lively mix of devotees from all walks of life who share the goals of electing Obama and supporting the arts. Even if you don't end up with an objet d'art, your donation still helps achieve the greater objective.

American Apparel's Dov Charney on SNL
America's favorite sexually-harassing clothier and Gawker Media punching bag, Dov Charney, was the subject of some SNL riffing this past weekend. Dov is being sued for the fifth time by a former employee for sexual harassment, and cast member Fred Armisen slipped into several pounds of fake facial hair so "Dov" could give his take on the charges. As someone who worked for and met Dov on several occasions, I have to say that Armisen's impersonation is pretty spot on, particularly the voice, general cluelessness about his own skeeviness, and the "so sue me!" attitude. The only thing wrong: Dov would never hit on a female over the age of 19. - Jezebel
