And he loves insulting members of the media. ``You resemble my retarded brother with a small head and 204 teeth, including three in nose,'' he said in response to one journalist's innocuous question. And he asked almost every female reporter gifted ``with the yellow hairs, plow experience and little or no history of retardation in family'' to join him ``for chitchat and sexy time.'' ``I hope you can come back to hotel room,'' he said with a smile, lifting his overgrown overgrown said of a part that has not been kept trimmed. overgrown hoof overgrown hooves put unusual stresses on bones and tendons and allow for distortion of the wall and sole. eyebrows and twitching his thick, bushy bush·y adj. bush·i·er, bush·i·est 1.

Not that Borat ever forgets to promote the ``moviefilm'' that opens on Friday. ``The anti-communist organization Fox will also be release the DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.

The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. in springs,'' Borat said. ``We in Kazakhstan will be release our own pirate version one month earlier. Its special extras include `Superman III.' '' THE MAN HIMSELF: Patrick Chamusso wasn't overly excited when he heard that ``Catch a Fire'' would recount his story as a South African freedom fighter. After all, since being released from prison following the fall of apartheid, he's quietly run Two Sisters, a home for children orphaned by the AIDS epidemic. ``I'm an ordinary man and couldn't imagine Derek Luke playing me in a political thriller directed by Phillip Noyce,'' Chamusso said as he chatted with Ricki Lake at the Cabana Club following the film's premiere Wednesday night. ``My main concern today is caring for and educating children.'' Luke and co-star Tim Robbins were as impressed by Chamusso's orphanage (www.twosisters.org.za) as they were with his personal struggle against apartheid. ``He's my hero because he's taking care of 90 kids,'' said Luke, who won the Breakthrough Actor Award at the Hollywood Film Festival for his portrayal of Chamusso. ``He could have been a prime minister or a rich businessman, but he chose to watch out for the next generation.'' ``The fact that Patrick forgave for·gave v.

Some guests at the premiere -- including Andie MacDowell, Thora Birch, Gore Vidal, Don Cheadle and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje -- also discussed how to help the orphanage. Focus Features recently sent clothes to Two Sisters, and last December Luke donated a Christmas tree Christmas tree Evergreen tree, usually decorated with lights and ornaments, to celebrate the Christmas season. The use of evergreen trees, wreaths, and garlands as symbols of eternal life was common among the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, and Hebrews. , as well as a Santa Claus suit for Chamusso. ``Apartheid may be over,'' said Cheadle, ``but this film will definitely increase awareness about South Africa and encourage Americans to get involved in its future.'' MUD AND MUSIC: Wavy Gravy, a self-described ``hippie icon and flower geezer geezer noun Medtalk American slang for an offensive and/or dull-witted old person, especially a ♂ in hospitals, geezer is a highly derogatory term for an elderly, cantankerous, often poorly-educated ♂ Pt verb ,'' walked his stuffed pet fish into the Samuel Goldwyn Theater and introduced it to one of the tall Oscar statues on the stage. Then singer/songwriter Country Joe McDonald yelled ``Give Me An F!'' when he sat down with Gravy and 20 other instigators and survivors of the Woodstock Music and Art Festival. The panelists at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Tuesday night discussed the legendary weekend of peace, love and music that resulted in ``Woodstock,'' the film that won the Oscar for documentary feature of 1970. ``We made up stuff as we went along, and my main job was to mumble 1. mumble - Said when the correct response is too complicated to enunciate, or the speaker has not thought it out. Often prefaces a longer answer, or indicates a general reluctance to get into a long discussion. to the authorities,'' said concert promoter Michael Lang. ``We forgot to put up fences and ticket booths but somehow pulled off a festival that had a profound impact on us all.'' Security was also not a priority. ``The password was `forgot,' '' said Gravy, leader of the Hog Farm Collective and head of the ``Security Please.'' ``We recruited anyone who looked even slightly responsible.'' ``Community,'' ``miracle'' and ``life-changing'' were among words panelists used to describe ``Woodstock.'' ``I came tonight to thank all of you for making it happen,'' said Michael Shrieve, who was 19 when he performed as the drummer for Santana at the packed weekend held in a sea of mud. ``It was like guerilla warfare.''
