According to third-quarter donation reports, Hollywood is still lavishing cash at presidential hopeful Barack Obama, the candidate Oprah Winfrey recently dipped in honey, heaved into the money pile her friends built at her Montecito compound, and allowed to walk off with the three million dollars in donations that clung to his sticky, glistening form. But we suspect that most of those fickle little political starfuckers will be cured of their Obamamania and climb into Al Gore's hybrid bandwagon the minute the Oscar/Emmy/Nobel triple-threat announces he's running.

Al Wins A Nice Nobel Coaster For His Oscar
While we at Defamer aren't typically in the business of reporting about any award that isn't voted upon by industry guilds or the George Lopez-Loving People, we nevertheless feel obliged to relay the news that former Vice President and Lifetime Friend to Prius-Driving Hollywood Types Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Prize today, along with his colleagues from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. (You'll think us crazy, but we dreamed this would happen, in an epic nighttime hallucination involving Leonardo DiCaprio applying suntan lotion to Gore's back on a polar ice cap melted down to approximately the size of a manhole cover.) Leave it to the British, then, to acid rain on his Peace Prize parade: More » -

Emmys Telecast Flirts With Low-Rated Awards Show History
· Last night's Emmys drew the second-smallest TV audience in the awards show's history with an anemic average of 13.1 million viewers. No one, it seems, was tantalized by the sketchy possibility of Britney Spears showing up to apologize for destroying her career, or by the prospect of emergency host Ryan Seacrest breaking into song. Congratulations, America: you saved yourself over three hours of torture. (We were not so lucky.) [Variety] More »

Al Gore's Kid Arrested In Eco-Friendly Drugmobile
By far the most amusing detail to emerge from the Wednesday morning arrest of Al Gore III, son of the Oscar-winning ex-Vice President behind eco-porn masterwork An Inconvenient Truth, is that the young Gore was driving a Prius; no matter how upset Dad was by the phone call revealing that his child had been popped for the possession of marijuana and enough prescription drugs to sedate a typical Orange County housewife for a week, he had to be at least a little bit proud that his boy is doing his part to reduce the dangerous vehicle emissions that have brought our planet to the brink of environmental disaster.

Trade Round-Up: Bruckheimer Getting Serious About Blowing Shit Up
ยท Generally satisfied to produce movies that explore the lighter side of blowing shit up, Jerry Bruckheimer (and Disney) have acquired the movie rights to Mark Bowden's Atlantic Monthly terrorism article "Jihadists in Paradise," plunging Bruck into much darker explosion-related territory.

Win A Date With Al Gore's Global Warming Movie
We're a couple of days too late to put in a bid of our own, but a lucky, deep-pocketed eBay bidder spent just under $3000 to win a private screening of Al Gore's global warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, on the Paramount lot. The price includes seats for 20 guests and personally dedicated copies of Gore's book of the same name. Unfortunately, the winner and his pals have to pay their own freight to the Melrose lot, and Gore will not attend—though for three grand, the former Vice President should wander the theater with a bucket of cold water, occasionally splashing it on the viewers to vividly demonstrate just how unpleasant the melting of the polar ice caps and subsequent, cataclysmic coastal flooding will be.

Media Bubble: Live From San Francisco, It's Al Gore
• Al Gore's cable network, which launches today, is apparently a tapas bar, says a San Francisco Chronicle writer. This is, we think, a good thing, mostly because we had some excellent tapas last time we were in the City. [SFC] More »
