Watch out, Wall Street! You do NOT want to be on the opposing side to any cause that Michael Moore supports!

Check out the photos (above, and below) of Michael showing his continuing support for Occupy Wall Street protestors in NYC last night.

As a reminder, the goal of this protest is to fight against Wall Street's financial greed and corruption.

Stay safe, Michael and Co.!

We bet this really helped with morale.

Earlier last week, we shared video of protesters getting arrested in New York for being a part of the Occupy Wall Street demonstration. The protest against Wall Street's financial greed and corruption has been going on for days, but has made little progress.

Thankfully, a

Following the execution of Troy Davis, a man convicted for the murder of a police officer despite the overwhelming amount of disagreement from American citizens, Michael Moore has thought it best to boycott the state of Georgia.

Troy even begged for a lie detector test to save his life, but it wasn't given.

Not only were everyday citizens outraged, Hollywood got involved too. Alec Baldwin, Kim Kardashian, and Diddy (to name a few) all called on the power of Twitter to send a message to the peachy state.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Troy was given lethal injection Wednesday night, and it shook America's belief in the justice system once again.

And now, among many others, Michael Moore is boycotting the state, urging:

It was Michael Moore vs. Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday's broadcast of The View.

The two argued over whether or not Osama bin Laden deserved a trial over his horrifying acts on 9-11-01.

Moore said that bin Laden had been "executed" and that America had "lost something of our soul" by not giving him a fair trial for his crimes.

Elisabeth's response?

And it should be a really interesting read, too!

He hasn't had a book out in over 8 years, and he just announce his new one — Here Comes Trouble: Stories From My Life — which he claims is kind of an anti-memoir, and revolves around things happening to the filmmaker before Roger & Me.

Michael Moore is a pretty polarizing guy, and his stories really do seem to reflect that. He was at Book Expo America when he announced the book, and read some excerpts — one of which recounts him being asked about people wanting him dead during a live, national, broadcast.

Shortly after he announced it at the festival, he tweeted:

"The cat is out of the bag! I'm at the annual Book Expo in NYC & have just unveiled the project I've been working on for the past year…"

"My first hardcover book in 8 years: 'HERE COMES TROUBLE: Stories from My Life' to be released Sept. 13. U will be surprised."

It'll be a collection of about two dozen stories.

We'll be looking forward to hearing more about it, Michael! Feel free to send us a copy if you want it proofread! Ha!

Will U be reading it? Even if U don't agree with it, curiosity is a powerful thing!

There won't be any settlement in the lawsuit between Michael Moore and Bob and Harvey Weinstein.

Moore sued the Weinsteins back in February, claiming that they owe him $2.7 million from his film, Farenheit 9/11.

He alleged that they used "financial deception" and "bogus accounting methods" in their production deal.

He continues:

"No settlement. No interest in one. Discovery and depositions will reveal how the accounting is done, once and for all.

Harvey and I have a lot of important history together, brothers in arms. And he and Bob have nothing but a force for good indie filmmakers … I hold no ill will, and for now am just blaming all of this on his accountants and business affairs people."

A lawyer for the Weinsteins dispute the allegations, saying:

"[Harvey and Bob] have paid [Moore] everything he should be paid. [The Weinsteins] would be rushing to settle if they were concerned, but they're not. [The lawsuit] is riddled with inaccuracies and ridiculous claims."

Ouch.

It's too bad when a bad business deals get in the way of a professional relationship.

Who do U think is telling the truth?

Move over, Penguins! Buh-bye, Michael Moore! Justin Bieber is headed for #1!

Justin Bieber: Never Say Never has already grossed $63,300,218, landing it a spot as the third highest grossing documentary film of all time!

If the Biebs can keep it up, he COULD reach the #1 spot. He'll need to surpass $77 million to beat March of the Penguins, which is #2, but he'll need over $120 million to beat out Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.

Good luck, Justin! Sounds like the penguins are done for. MIGHT be a bit more difficult to beat out Michael, but it's possible…

Do U think Justin Bieber: Never Say Never will become the highest grossing documentary of all time?
