"Sicko" is Admitted to Gotham

At the Gotham premiere of Michael Moore's latest doc, "Sicko" on Monday, Harvey Weinstein praised the helmer but saved his big thanks for an agent. “I have to get to my lover and that is Ari Emanuel,” Weinstein teased. “How many agents do you know who stands up and says to the New York Times (when “Fahrenheit 9/11” came out) that Michael Eisner is full of shit and that the Disney Corporation is being paid off by Florida to protest this movie?”

After the pic screened at the Ziegfeld Theater, Moore received a standing ovation as the credits rolled. And during a press lunch less than 24-hours later at Brasserie Ruhlmann in Rockefeller Plaza, the helmer said that although he is working on his next film he would not discuss it with the media in the hopes of keeping possible opponents at bay.
