While we've still got a couple of weeks to see who will end up America's Next Top, the vote is in on who folks would want to be President if life were a movie.

Movie fans want Harrison Ford kicking butt in the White House, just like he did in Air Force One (1997).

The poll was administered by Moviefone.

Morgan Freeman came in second place for his leadership role in saving mankind from a comet in Deep Impact (1998).

And while no one is saying that Hollywood can have that much influence on reality, Moviefone editor-in-chief Scott Robson said, "I don’t know if Obama can say Morgan Freeman paved the way, but it hasn’t hurt."

A slightly more romantic president, Michael Douglas came in third for his portrayal of the commander-in-chief in The American President (1995).

The rest of the list is as follows:

4. Bill Pullman - Independence Day (1996)
5. Kevin Kline - Dave (1993)
6. Dennis Quaid - American Dreamz (2006)
7. Bruce Greenwood - National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2003)
8. James Cromwell - The Sum of All Fears (2002)
9. Jack Nicholson - Mars Attacks (1996)
10. Jeff Bridges - The Contender (2000)

Good news for Morgan Freeman.

The actor was released from a Tennessee hospital on Thursday.

Freeman was hospitalized after that horrible accident occurred which flipped his car over. It was so bad he had to be removed by crews using the jaws of life!

Luckily, Freeman is said to be "in good spirits" after being released.

In a statement released by his reps, the actor says, "I left the hospital today just after 12 noon, Memphis time. I'm doing very well. I feel real good. I just really, I thank the staff at 'Elvis Presley [Hospital]' and many, many thanks to my many well-wishers. It's great to know people care about you.”

Thankfully he survived. However, he will have to wear a neck brace for the next six to eight months or longer.

Better to be in a neck brace than to have died.

Time to count your blessings!

This explains why he was in the car with that lady and not his wife!

Morgan Freeman's attorney confirmed reports that he's going through a divorce.

Freeman and his ex-wife of 24-years, costumer Myrna Colley-Lee, have reportedly been separated since December 2007.

Wow. 24-years…impressive for a Hollywood marriage!

Hopefully someone will be giving Morgan love and care as he heals from his accident injuries!

Good news!

As y'all know, Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman was involved in a major car accident on Sunday.

The actor broke his elbow and arm, as well as injuring his shoulder.

He underwent surgery Monday evening, but, he's "doing well" - according to his PR rep.

Says the publicist:

"Morgan is doing well after his surgery last night [Monday] to reconnect nerves and repair damage in his left arm and hand. The surgery last night lasted four and a half hours. He's visiting with family this morning. As of this morning he's up and walking around and looking forward to his release in a few days."

He's up and walking. That's a great sign!!
