AMY SCHUMER and JULIANNE MOORE have announced that they'll be taking part in the Women's March on Washington coming up on Sat, Jan 21 along with CHER, KATY PERRY, SCARLETT JOHANSSON and AMERICA FERRERA. Organizers are hoping the protest will attract at least a million people. As Scarlett pointed out, "The new administration may be very vague about specifics, but one thing has been made very clear: their intentions of reducing the availability of a woman's healthcare and attacking her reproductive rights."
There will also be other demonstrations around the country in other cities as well.

Idle gossip & unconfirmed rumors:

JERRY SEINFELD is one of the recognized men in showbiz, but that ain't good enough for our buddies over at the Secret Service.

In true Seinfeld style, Jerry took it all in stride, had no problem waiting a half-hour in the freezing cold and joked about the situation with fellow guests.(Lee)
