Julianne Moore has slammed Angelina Jolie and Madonna for deliberately seeking media attention for their humanitarian efforts.

Moore, 47, claims she has made a conscious effort to keep her own political and social activism out of the limelight, and she cannot understand why stars get so much attention from the press for volunteering their time to help others.

She says, “It’s definitely the ‘to whom much is given’ thing. And we have a tremendous amount of privilege. But, at the same time, I don’t know why so much emphasis is placed on celebrities who volunteer. Most people do things in their daily lives. It’s just normal.”

Moore currently sits on the board of pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood and works in support of Save the Children.

New York Governor Elliot Spitzer apparently won’t be getting off easy with his celebrity constituents.

“A f—ing embarrassment” is how Julianne Moore, once a fan of the former attorney general, termed the politico’s involvement in a prostitution ring – for which it is anticipated he will resign on Wednesday.

“I’m really pissed,” the fiery New Yorker, 47, told PEOPLE during Tuesday’s TSE flagship SoHo store opening. “I honestly don’t care where or how people have sex, or with whom, but prostitution is illegal. For someone whose got such a reputation for having a real attitude towards crime, you have to walk the walk. I’m sorry.”

Meanwhile, TV hosts were more than happy to have a new political punching bag for their monologues. For instance:

• Stephen Colbert remained deadpan on his Comedy Central Colbert Report, saying of Spitzer, “I sat next to the guy three times and I didn’t pick up on any of this, and I usually have excellent whore-dar.”

• “They’re talking about impeaching Eliot Spitzer if he doesn’t step down,” said Late Show’s David Letterman, “and I’m thinking, ‘Whoa, a Democrat being impeached for extramarital sex. Well, happy days are here again!’ ”

• Spitzer, who was accused of being Client 9 for the call-girl ring, was even topic one with Late Night host Conan O’Brien, who joked, “Not surprisingly, clients 1 through 8 were Charlie Sheen.”

• Finally, The View co-host Joy Behar opined, “Aren’t you sick of men? Viagra is destroying our government.”

Actress Julianne Moore has dismissed rumors she is to join the cast of hit TV show Desperate Housewives, insisting there is no truth to the reports.

The Oscar winning star was alleged to have accepted a part in the program as the sister of Marcia Cross’ character Bree in a bid by producers to boost falling viewing figures. But Moore’s representative Stephen Huvane tells America’s OK! magazine, “Julianne will NOT be on Desperate Housewives.”

What do you guys think? Personally I think her red hair looks absolutely fabulous on her, especially with her skin tone. This new strawberry blonde color washes her out a bit.
