I will be attending numerous film screenings  and panel discussions with celebs such as Larry Charles (&#8220;Borat&#8221;), Christine Lahti , Phil Donohue, and&#8230;wait for it&#8230;. Madonna.<br \/>\nYep, it&#8217;s a little known fact that Madonna&#8217;s dad lives near Traverse City and runs a vineyard where you can buy Madonna wine. Anyway, due to the local connection and the power of Michael Moore, Madonna is premiering her documentary &#8220;I Am Because We Are&#8221; here this weekend and I was one of the lucky few to get a ticket. (People camped out for two days to get tickets but I won them in a lottery drawing.)<br \/>\nI fully expect to have a chance to ask one or two questions at these screenings and panel discussions&#8211;I am very persistent&#8211; and I would love to have Idol Chatter readers be a part of this experience.<br \/>\nSo what would you ask Michael Moore or Madonna if you could? Leave your questions in the comment box and I will see what I can do! And look for reports from the festival starting Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again, when I travel down the road just a bit to attend Michael Moore&#8217;s cinematic extravaganza, the Traverse City Film Festival.
