Gossip Girl stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley have shown their political stripes, appearing with other young starlets and starlads in an online video done as a parody of drug prevention ads, says The Campaign Silo. It warns parents against the dangers of voting for John McCain: "Just because other people your age are doing it, doesn't make it cool." "It's a full on attack!" says Perez Hilton. Gossip Girl Insider, which has more of everything about Blake and Penn, notes that they also appear in a nonpartisan video urging people to vote with older stars such as Anne Hathway and Samuel L. Jackson. Non-supporters of Obama are having their own field day, listening to a (work-safe) audio clip from a Howard Stern radio show...

African-American residents in New York's Harlem were asked trick questions about their unconditional support for Obama, like "Do you support Obama's choice of Sarah Palin to be his VP?" Three people said yes. "Incredibly, it didn't seem to phase [sic] these voters in their support of Obama," says Blogs4Mccain. Confused and misinformed voters--in America? It's shocking. Suggests Newsbusters: "Stern could have sent folks out to most newsrooms in America and gotten the same responses!"

Of course, where would invective-ridden political entertainment be without Michael Moore? His latest left-wingy documentary, Slacker Uprising, is being marketed as "...the first time ever that a major feature-length film is debuting as a free download on the Internet--legally." TorrentFreak says that hasn't stopped pirates from distributing it illegally beyond the legally free zone of the US and Canada. Oh those pirates. Mashable suggests Moore is flouting copyright rules intentionally, if you can believe that. Meanwhile, David Zucker's new anti-Moore comedy An American Carol, made $3.6 million in its opening weekend. That's more than zero but very low, reports Too Shy to Stop, which says the film "stinks like the Dickens." Bill Maher, meanwhile, is being called out by Newsbusters for misleading some people who appeared in his new anti-religion documentary Religulous. Oh, diverse people of America, is there anything we can all agree on? Yes! Beverly Hills Chihuahua is still the number one movie in America.
