A small handful of unwitting dupes that appear in the hit movie-mocumentary, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit of Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan" have publicly attested to the outrage since the movies release. Two men, who appear in the movie drunk making some rather unseemly comments about women and minorities, have filed a lawsuit against the film production company, 20th Century Fox. But one victim, Pat Haggerty, a public speaking couch who Borat all but made a fool in the film said this week that he is a bit embarrassed but holds no hard feelings as the film is an expression of America's First Amendment Rights. The film blends scripted film and improvised documentary style interviews with unwitting Americans who play into the hands of the naive 'foreign' journalist from Kazakhstan.

Most of the giveaway gowns originally carried the retail price of between $500 and $2,000, but one dress was reportedly listed for $5,850. Rosalind Ramos-Alvarez, a veteran for 21 years, heard about the giveaway on the radio and showed up at the store on Friday, selecting two gowns to try on.

This year's annual Drag Queen Halloween Parade in San Francisco won't last as long or have as many activities because of some outsider's rowdy behavior in past years. Every year the parade has attracted hundreds of thousands of participants and viewers. But each year outsiders have become rowdier and their misbehavior caused community officials to have this year's event shortened, Bloomberg News reported Friday.

Jennifer Hawkins, a former Australian beauty queen-turned TV presenter, initially agreed to be 17-year-old Daniel Dibley's partner to the end-of-year dance at Bathurst High School, west of Sydney.
