The Province: If there's such a thing as a Z-list for celebrities, they were in attendance in Atlanta for the NHL All-Star weekend.

New York Daily News: Provocateur Michael Moore's latest target is (drumroll, please): Joan Lunden? "I got to picket 'The View' this morning," the director and Writers Guild member said cheerfully on Thursday. "It's been a lifelong fantasy to be able to picket THE VIEW." Moore was celebrating his Oscar nomination for the documentary "Sicko" with a lunch, thrown by Harvey Weinstein, at the Four Seasons. I asked him if he enjoyed calling Barbara Walters a scab. "Nah, just some of the guests who shouldn't have been on the show." (Thursday, that meant Lunden, as well as ALL MY CHILDREN'S Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams and Rebecca Budig. Those villains!)

And there were the fewest ambassadors in memory, four including Luxembourg after the Italians canceled because of political turmoil at home. Yet soap star Susan Lucci of ALL MY CHILDREN strolled into the grand ballroom like a debutante into her first dance. "I've done a lot of work for the Red Cross but I've never been able to attend this event," she said. "It's so exciting."
