NEW YORK (CNN) -- Hundreds of Catholic protesters rallied outside the Lincoln Center premiere of "Dogma" at the New York Film Festival on Monday. They decried the work as blasphemous. The protest followed last weekend's protest by Catholics of the Brooklyn Museum of Art's presentation of an exhibit that includes a similarly criticized painting, Chris Ofili's "The Holy Virgin Mary."

"Dogma" reunites "Good Will Hunting" stars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck as two fallen angels scheming to get back into heaven. God is played by recording artist Alanis Morissette. Comedian Chris Rock appears as the 13th Apostle, Rufus. It's directed by Kevin Smith, whose credits include "Chasing Amy" (1997), "Mallrats" (1995) and "Clerks" (1994).

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property joined the Catholic League on Monday in distributing fliers that read: "'Dogma' mocks everything we hold sacred -- God, the Church, the Mass and Mary's virginity. It condones what we condemn -- murder, obscenity, violence, profanity, drugs, drunkenness and rebellion!"

The film's distributors, backers and festival officials made no comment. But in an interview with CNN.com, director Smith has called the movie "a fun little film" that's getting more attention than it probably deserves. He says, "I've seen it called anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-faith, anti-God. To say the least, it's none of these things."

SAN FRANCISCO (CNN) -- Patch Adams may be providing Robin Williams with sequel material -- and a costume designer with a nice vacation. Adams and about 50 other people marched naked on Sunday down a busy San Francisco street in an anti-nuclear protest.

Adams, who inspired the 1998 Williams film based on his use of humor in treating patients, paraded in chilly weather as his fellow demonstrators chanted "Disrobe for disarmament" and "Nudes, not nukes."

Nonviolent people "really have so few tools to face a capitalist system," Adams told the crowd as they disrobed. "All we really have are ourselves and our ideas. Our ideas have not done the job."

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Enrique Iglesias was flipping burgers for fans at a midtown McDonald's on Monday. "I love McDonald's, but I'm a lazy person and I usually go through the drive-through," the 24-year-old pop star said as he put on an apron. "It's the first time I've ever done this. I hope I don't screw up."

Culinary and service issues were the least of his fans' worries. "I love him and have all his albums," said Vanessa Benitez. "I can't believe he's here!"

At McDonald's locations in the United States, $1 of the cost of every Big Mac Extra Value Meal on Monday was donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Iglesias is the spokesman for the charity's program, which helps Hispanic high-school seniors go to college.

Iglesias, the son of singer Julio Iglesias, won a Grammy Award this year for best Latin pop performer. His first English-language album, "Enrique," is to be released November 23.

Carrey

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Looking for a beau with a sense of humor? Well, Jim Carrey tells the November edition of Vanity Fair, "I don't have anyone special in my life at all, and it's a drag."

Twice married and many more times cheered by filmgoers, the 37-year-old actor-comedian tells the magazine he feels like quitting the entertainment business altogether. This, despite a career that's included "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber" -- all in 1994 -- plus "Batman" (1995), "Liar Liar" (1997) and "The Truman Show" (1998). His Christmas Day release is to be "Man on the Moon," in which he plays the late stand-up comedian Andy Kaufman.

"I think I could go away tomorrow," Carrey tells Vanity Fair. "I've already accomplished something. It's such a selfish business that sometimes I get sick of myself."
