Borat

Andy Samberg gets touchy-feely with his pregnant costar (and onscreen love interest) Isla Fisher at the Hollywood premiere of their film, Hot Rod, at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Thursday. Of his costar, Samberg said: "She's hilarious . . . She's a total nut bird!"

It's about time! Isla said:

"In the beginning I dodged the rumours… I was trying not to be rude, but there's a time before you're sure everything is all right with no complications that you just don't want to discuss it."

And she jokes she also had to find out who the father was: "I'm doing DNA tests with the cast of (new film) Hot Rod and the cast of Wedding Crashers, and hopefully I'll find out for sure."

Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and envelope-pushers Rosie O'Donnell and Sacha Baron Cohen are among the entertainment newsmakers on Time magazine's list of 100 people who shape the world.

Roseanne Barr weighed in on Baron Cohen, also known as Borat. "He does offend some people's sensibilities, but the youth of today are offended if they're not offended," she wrote.

The list of 100 most influential, on newsstands Friday, also includes Queen Elizabeth II, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, YouTube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, director Martin Scorsese and model Kate Moss.

Scorsese, who often casts DiCaprio in his films, praised the 32-year-old screen idol/activist as a "true actor."

"DiCaprio is another guy a lot of us underestimated as a pretty-boy type," Adi Ignatius, a deputy managing editor at Time, told AP Television News.

Other entertainers making the cut were Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Tyra Banks, Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, Tina Fey, John Mayer, Brian Williams, Michael J. Fox, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller.

You gotta laugh when Sacha Baron Cohen & Kate Moss make the list and George Bush doesn't. :)

Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen will revive his cult Kazakhstani TV reporter BORAT for a sequel to hit movie BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN.

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, who made a fortune out of the quirky comedy as the boss of distributor 20th Century Fox, revealed Borat would be back during a keynote speech at the MCGraw Hill Media Summit in New York yesterday (08FEB07).

Murdoch confessed he was a huge fan of the film: "I've seen it about three times and laughed like hell."

The film made almost $250 million (GBP128 million) worldwide, which prompted 20th Century Fox bosses to beg Cohen for a sequel.
