Because it is vitally important to gauge Hollywood's reaction to any political matter making national headlines, it's about time that the media stepped forward to find out what celebrities with last names ending in "z" or who have ever played a character or sung a song calling for properly rolled r's thinks about the proposed legislation to make undocumented immigrants felons. Rush & Molloy celebrate Salma Hayek, "the only big star of Hispanic ancestry to speak out" on the matter, then takes a roll-call of the suspiciously quiet Latino stars:

"As a human being, I find this situation intolerable. As an immigrant, I find it offensive. And as an American citizen, I find it disheartening. The work that these immigrants do directly affects the health of the U.S. economy. I have already been in contact with Latin activist Dolores Huerta and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa in an effort to figure out what is the most effective way for me to participate in this movement. My company, Ventanarosa, in solidarity with the immigrants, was closed this past Monday and will again be closed on May 1 in observance of the protests."

So far, Danny Glover is the only other celebrity voice backing the immigrants. Andy Garcia and director Robert Rodriguez wouldn't comment; Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Rosario Dawson couldn't be reached.

A rep for Marc Anthony said he was out of the country - he'll perform in the Dominican Republic tomorrow - and therefore "unavailable." We pointed out that, with mobile phones and hand-helds, it is just about impossible to be out of touch these days. "He doesn't operate that way," Anthony's flack told us.

Have the famous completely forgotten the lessons of history? Even we remember Edmund Burke's immortal warning about complacency in the face of tyranny, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that Jennifer Lopez and her husband do nothing."
