Hillary Clinton to Appear With Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton will join Barack Obama next Friday for the first time since she dropped out of the Democratic primary and he secured the nomination. Details about the appearance were not given in an e-mail sent by the Obama campaign that announced the joint event. Clinton ended her campaign on June 7. "I endorse him and throw my full support behind him," she said at the time. Obama tells Us Weekly in its new issue, on newsstands now, that his wife Michelle is an "extraordinary mother" to their two

Clinton: "No Way, No How, No McCain" [Catchphrases]

Bill Clinton had "A place called Hope" in 1992. Michael Dukakis floated on the wings of Ann Richards' "Poor George" speech in 1988. And John Kerry to this day wakes up every morning in a cold sweat, screaming "Help is on the way!" Come to think of it, maybe memorable catchphrases aren't all that predictive of success. But this year's Democrati

The Top Five Media Stereotypes Of Betrayed Wives [Wandering Willies]
Former Gawkerette turned Radarite Maggie Shnayerson tipped us onto this AP story about how people are criticizing Elizabeth Edwards for John's affair. "I think she's complicit," Brad Crone, a Raleigh-based Democratic consultant told the AP. "Obviously, she knew. While she's the victim, she clearly didn't stand in the way of the cover-up." Sigh. This old meme again, one I'd thought had been retired after it had been used against Hillary Clinton so frequently. We've covered a lot of cheating husbands in the p

Bill Clinton: Purdum a "Sleazy" "Slimy" "Scumbag"
Former President Bill Clinton today unleashed a salty stream of epithets to describe former New York Times reporter and current Vanity Fair writer Todd Purdum, calling him "sleazy," "dishonest," "slimy" and a "scumbag." The former president made the comment at a local campaign event after I asked him if Purdum's much-commented upon Vanity Fair story was weighing on his mind. Tightly gripping this reporter's hand and refusing to let go, Clinton heatedly denounced the writer, who is currently married to

Gershon: I Did Not Have Sexual Relations ...
TMZ has obtained a copy of a demand letter from Gina Gershon to Vanity Fair. Make no mistake - she's pissssed. Vanity Fair just published a pretty scandalous story about Prez Bill Clinton. The demand letter claims the article "outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely false." The letter demands "a retraction and correction." Gershon's lawyers from the bulldog firm Lavely & Singer noted that "Gershon has only been

Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama Author Pieces for Us Weekly
John McCain may have endorsement of Heidi Montag, but Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have the support of their spouses, who penned exclusive first-person pieces arguing for the candidates they know best in the latest issue of Us Weekly. Their pieces are a little under 1,000 words apiece. "I tell people I am married to the answer," Michelle Obama wrote in Us. "If I weren't married to him, I'd want a Barack Obama presidency right now — not in four or eight years, but now." Bill Clinton wrote in U

Hillary At White House on 'Stained Blue Dress' Day
Hillary Clinton spent the night in the White House on the day her husband had oral sex with Monica Lewinsky, and may have actually been in the White House when it happened, according to records of her schedule released today by the National Archives. An initial review by ABC News of the 17,481 pages of Sen. Hillary Clinton's schedule as first lady, released today by the National Archives, also finds significant gaps in time and many days containing only "private meetings" at the White House with unnamed

Clintons push a Hillary/Obama ticket
Hillary and Bill Clinton are again teaming up on Barack Obama -- this time saying the first-term U.S. lawmaker, whom they have derided as inexperienced, would be a strong running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket headed by the former first lady. In talking up a joint ticket, the Clintons may be seeking the upper hand, attempting to put her in consideration for the top of the ticket when she so far has failed to win the votes necessary to assure that she would face Republican presidential candidate

Michelle Williams: 'I Didn't Know Where to Go' After Heath Split
When Michelle Williams spoke to Elle magazine in January, she had no idea she'd be faced with the death of her ex, Heath Ledger, only days later on Jan. 22. At the time, she was still mourning their breakup. "I didn't know where to go" after their 2007 split, she says in the magazine's April issue. "I couldn't imagine any place in the world that was gonna feel good to me." Williams, 27, dove into work on several films, because "when I have too much free time, that's when things start to get a little

Barack Obama says he looks good in underwear
In the new issue of Us Weekly, presidential candidate Barack Obama invited news director Lara Cohen to join his campaign for a day. He described some of his best Just Like Us moments, and took our Presidential Pop Quiz (where he revealed that his daughters think Britney and Paris are "yuck"). Some excepts from the Us interview: How familiar are you with Us Weekly? My wife reads it. Do your daughters Sasha and Malia ever ask about Britney Spears? Actually, yeah. But they're very sensible. They're

Is Brad Pitt Bill Clinton's New Wingman?
Bill Clinton joined Brad Pitt at a groundbreaking ceremony for Make It Right, Brad’s cause célèbre for Hurricane Katrina victims. Brad explains the project is “not about a handout, but a hand up.” To which, we're guessing, Bill scowled, "I thought it was about a hand job. Some wingman you are."

At the fund-raiser which Clinton's campaign manager said raised $2.5 million, John said there was no one more qualified to lead the United States into the next era.
