Stars align for Kerry fundraising
By Martin Kasindorf, USA TODAY
"Titanic" star Leonardo DiCaprio stumped for John
Kerry, while Fred Thompson of NBC's "Law & Order" campaigned for
President Bush in Florida, one of the swing states in the presidential
election.
DiCaprio spoke to some 400 students mostly female
at the University of Central Florida on Tuesday, while 200 more
waited outside.
The 29-year-old actor, who is registered as a Democrat
in Los Angeles County, said it was the first time he had publicly
supported a candidate.
"I believe, without a doubt, this is the most important
election of all of our lifetimes," he said at the event, organized
by campus Democrats.

Leonardo DiCaprio believes in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit
911" so much, the reclusive actor emerged last week for the L.A.
premiere - then flew to New York to attend Monday's screening.
"Leo's doing more press for this movie than he ever
does for his own," quipped Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein.
DiCaprio, who met with Moore several times as the
"Bowling for Columbine" Oscar winner lensed the film, told The
News: "I think a lot more people who are on the fence about who
to vote for, after they see this film, it's going to galvanize
them. Young people didn't vote in the last election - that was
the problem, and it's going to be the main issue in the next.
If you're a young person you've got to get as many people registered
to vote, and then get them to vote for their candidate." In DiCaprio's
case, "that's John Kerry," he told us.
