Poor Bill Clinton. It’s Hillary who’s running for President now, but her former country-leading hubby seems to be taking all the public flak and it’s his name being put through the marital indiscretion wringer.
About a week ago, we covered Vanity Fair’s expose of Bill Clinton’s supposed affairs with Gina Gershon, Belinda Stronach and many, many others. And now, we’re back again to point out the utter ridiculousness of beating a dead, cheating dirtbag horse – especially when it’s not the horse but the horse’s wife who’s doing the racing.
Farm animal analogies aside, the latest Bill Clinton sex story comes from Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones. Two notable names from the 90s, Gennifer claimed to have had a 12-year affair with Clinton while Jones sued the former president for sexual harassment.
These two donkeys – oh wait, we promised no more farm animal references – ladies, then, have created a website that details through video their encounters and thoughts on the former Pres, wife Hillary and any other lurid bit of gossip they can dredge up to get their names back in the spotlight.
Why you ask?
“It’s a way we can get our story out there in our own words, without someone making their own interpretations or corrections,” Paula Jones said in an interview with Extra TV.
That explanation might be easier to swallow if the two media whores weren’t offering their “interpretations” for the low, low price of $1.99 per video segment. It’s amazing what having 10-year-old presidential scandal in common can do for your career.
Obviously, we haven’t watched any of these video segments, and would rather put our $1.99 toward a big bag of Cheetos because at least then the cheese would be the delicious kind.
But Flowers did give a free taste of her view on the Democratic nomination race to Extra, stating that she believed Bill was a hindrance to his wife’s campaign. “My advice to Hillary would be to divorce that chump,” she stated.
Well there’s an old saying that people who live in glasses houses shouldn’t call each other chumps...or something like that. What a total chump.
We said it before, we’ll say it again. Bill Clinton’s sexual history was irrelevant 10 years ago and it’s even more irrelevant now. We’re sick of hearing about it, and thinking about it is making us even more green.
Funny how a man persecuted for multiple illicit affairs can come out looking like a pillar of integrity, while these two women he supposedly wronged come off looking like the back end of the farm animals we mentioned earlier.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are mirroring Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s events from the weekend as they welcome their second child and their first baby girl.
The excited couple already have a 15-month-old baby boy, Liam Aaron, who is thrilled to have a new little sister.
Tori and Dean settled on the name Stella Doreen for their new little darling, who was born at 3:13pm on June 9. Stella weighed in at a healthy 6 pounds, 8 ounces and measured 19 and ¾ inches at the time of birth.
The busy mother-of-two will have her hands full now that she’s a new mommy again. Not only will Tori and Dean stay busy keeping up with their two tots but Tori is set to guest star on the CW’s continuation of her father’s hit TV show from the 90’s, Beverly Hills 90210.
In addition, the premiere of the couple’s second reality TV series Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood is scheduled for June 17, just over a week after their new arrival.
Looks like they have their hands full!
Congratulations to Tori and Dean and the Spelling and McDermott families!

Newlyweds Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have a lot to be celebrating lately. Not only did they get married less than a month ago but they’ve also welcomed a new baby girl to the family.
Honor Marie Warren was born June 7 in Los Angeles, Jessica’s rep Brad Cafarelli confirmed this weekend.
And, while we’re extremely happy for the couple (can you imagine how beautiful this baby girl is going to be?) we’re still a little worried that there was no statement from the couple about how excited they were for their baby girl to arrive.
Now we’re not saying that they’re not excited (I’m sure they’re thrilled) but it wouldn’t hurt to add one more line to the statement reading “Jessica and Cash are ecstatic to be welcoming Honor to the family.”
Perhaps we’re reading too much into this, but the statements were just as dull and unexcited when the couple first announced they were expecting.
"I can confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer," was the statement released when they found out they were having a baby.
All we’re saying is a little excitement never hurt anyone.
Congratulations to Jessica and Cash.
Little Honor might give Shiloh Pitt-Jolie a run for cutest celebrity baby.
Who do you think is the cutest celebrity baby?

 Much Music has announced their official list of presenters and performers for the 2008 MMVAs, and while you probably won’t see anything like a Britney Spears MTV VMA performance, you can still expect a hot show.
This year, the lineup features big names like The Hills star Whitney Port, Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford and our favorite Queen of All Media, Perez Hilton. Musical presenters include Sum 41, Sam Roberts and City and Colour among others.
Not to be disloyal to our country, but we’re most psyched to see PNasty on the presenters list. Watching him rub elbows with the same celebs he reports on should make for some good TV – especially if they let him run amock with a white magic marker. ThinkFashion <3 Perez!
The performances scheduled for the evening are leaving us a little blah though. After last year’s bombshell sets by Fergie, Avril Lavigne and Alexisonfire, we can’t seemed to get excited about the latest offering from Kardinal Offishall and we’re a little ho-hum on Ill Scarlett.
But if there’s one act that’s sure to blow us away, it will be new girl band Girlicious. Much Music is touting the band by saying, “If the Pussycat Dolls had a little sister, she'd be just about drinking age now and her name would be Girlicious.” Purrrrrfect.
Well we watched Search For the Next Pussycat Doll and Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious like it was our religious duty, so as far as we’re concerned, anything Robin Antin touches is gold. Love it.
For a complete list of presenters and performances, check out the MMVA homepage. The two-hour show is scheduled for June 15 at 9 pm, with the one-hour Red Carpet Special airing live at 8 pm. June 15th huh? Start the countdown…
Let us know - who are you most psyched about?

Despite constantly denying that they were anything more than friends, Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish made their first public appearance as a couple at the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards this week.
The media has been following Ryan and Abbie’s relationship closely ever since Ryan and his former wife, Reese Witherspoon, divorced in late 2006. After the highly profiled couple announced the separation, media reports quickly began speculating that Ryan was having an affair with his Stop-Loss co-star Abbie Cornish while he was still married to Reese.
Whether Ryan and Abbie were together during his marriage with Reese remains a mystery (much like Brad Pitt’s relationship with Angelina Jolie when he was married to Jennifer Aniston) but some may agree that their post-divorce hookup is more than a mere coincidence.
And while Ryan and Reese remain on good terms (Reese is currently dating actor Jake Gyllenhaal), it took Ryan a while to go public with his relationship with Abbie.
Witnesses at the Australian Awards show dubbed Ryan and Abbie as adorable, cozy and comfortable. Sources say the couple was holding hands all night and appeared to be very happy.
Just two months ago Ryan opened up about the difficulties of seeing Reese move on with Jake Gyllenhaal.
We’re pretty sure it will be just as difficult (if not more) for Reese to see Ryan with Abbie.
Do you think Ryan was with Abbie while he was still married to Reese?

Brooke Mueller looks drop-dead gorgeous in her May 30th wedding pictures and groom Charlie Sheen managed to not drop dead – a glorious day for all!
Except of course for Denise Richards. Rumor has it Denise is not handling the wedding news very well, despite her vehement denial that she wants anything to do with her former husband (or his sperm). Look for upcoming freakouts (or preferably don't) on her horrific reality TV show, Denise Richards: It's Complicated.
Charlie, 42, and Brooke, 30, wed on a gorgeous Beverly Hills estate in front of 68 friends and family, and with a leafy floral headpiece complementing her stunningly simple Reem Acra dress, Brooke looked every bit the part of a blushing new bride. The wedding photos will be released on Thursday in Ok! Magazine, but you can get a sneak peek here.
We took a look online and damn!
These pics must be killing Denise Richards, who nowadays looks more like a stretched-out leather handbag than a virgin-esque glowing beauty like Brooke.
Charlie elected to do an interview with Ok! along with sharing his photos, and big surprise, he spent a lot of time sounding off on his poo-flinging public divorce from second wife Denise.
“I’m so tired of talking about her and all her shenanigans,” he said. “I’m going to take a stand to basically never utter her name publicly again, and I think if that’s known, it will put an end to some of the drama.”
Good luck.
Charlie couldn’t even make it through the interview without discussing his former marriage, but he managed to stick to his word and henceforth referred to Denise only as “whats-her-face.”
He did find time to talk about his new wife though, proclaiming his complete devotion and excitement at the prospect of starting a new life with her. He even went so far as to cite this marriage as his first real one, with the first being a “show” and the second a “con.”
Both he and Brooke do seem crazy in love, and it looks like after a two-year courtship their marriage may actually have a good shot of working out. The couple also seem eager to spawn, and no surprise, speculation on Brooke’s pregnancy is already circulating. But so far, the new bride is denying the reports, though she does see a little one in the near future.
“Charlie has three girls, so ideally, we’d have a boy,” she said, referring to Charlie’s daughter from his first marriage, Cassandra, 23, and his two daughters with Denise Richards, Sam, 4, and Lola, 3. "But it doesn't matter as long as it's a healthy baby."
Wow Denise is going to lose it if baby-announcement day ever comes. Everybody duck, there’s going to be a full-scale poo attack!

Miley Cyrus may be one of the richest 15-year-olds in the world but the decisions she’s been making the past few months have the word poor written all over them.
Not only has the Britney-Spears-in-the-making star been caught partaking in lesbian-like behaviour on-camera, posing naked on film and caught posing provocatively with unknown men (also on camera) but she’s also reportedly dating a much older man – if you can call a 22-year-old who’s seducing a 15-year-old a man.
That’s right, the Hannah Montana star is reportedly dating her 22-year-old backup dancer, Marshall. The two have been caught flirting on camera and hugging and kissing each other on the cheek.
And while a little flirting never hurt anyone, we have to point out that it’s a little creepy that this 22-year-old wannabe dancer has become all touchy-feely with a 15-year old. Can’t he find someone his own age?
Whether the two are actually dating has yet to be confirmed but one thing is certain – Miley is headed down a path of destruction faster than her wannabe superstar rival Ali Lohan.
Is it just us or is there something wrong with a 22-year-old man flirting, hugging and practically kissing a 15-year-old girl?
We give it about a week before Miley issues another apology. That making it...what... like the fourth public apology in the last three months? There has to be some way to automate those statements by now.
What do you think of Miley’s relationship with 22-year-old Marshall?

 Miley Cyrus, the latest Britney Spears-esque star-on-the-brink, is caught yet again playing kissy-face with a mysterious young man...wait, haven’t we already written this story?
No, it is in fact a different picture, even though Miley’s face and pose are pretty much identical to the previous racy photos that leaked onto the Internet. Yawn. We’re really tired of taking Miley’s side on the private photos issue when these pictures keep coming and coming.
We know what you're thinking, why do we bother even covering this story if that’s our attitude towards Miley? Well the truth is it’s because it’s Hump Day and we’re bored.
In light of that, we’ve prepared a self-indulgent rant for the occasion that we like to call:
Say Cheese or Become Cheese?
It used to be that when a camera came out at a party with friends, pictures were snapped spontaneously and you took your chances that - because you were happy and having a good time - some of those pics were bound to capture the great time you were having in a flattering way. Maybe not all of them, but probably one or two would be worthy of pinning to your wall.
But nowadays, it seems no one can be caught on camera without first orchestrating an elaborate pose or a carefully-choreographed attempt to show off their assets, and half the time, the person in the picture is the one doing the snapping in a pathetic and much-overdone attempt to document themselves as sexy.
Check out profile shots on Facebook or MySpace, and count the number of “I’m so serious and deep, but here’s a glimpse of my cleavage and pouty lips” poses people have created for themselves – trust us, we’re right.
I guess we can thank the digital age for no one ever having to be caught on camera again with eyes half open or a piece of spinach in their teeth. But you know what? We sort of miss those days.
End of Rant.
Okay, back to the story. If we had a chance to talk to Miley the Poser in person (and we’d keep a 3-foot distance lest the young celeb stick a camera in our face and try to liplock), we would say this:
Stop it with the pics already. The world is not your MySpace page and we’re tired of random shots of you pseudo-smooching on some poor, young, sexually frustrated teenage boy who wishes you would gaze into his eyes with the same fervour you do the camera. Give it, and your EasyShot, a rest – that’s what we would say.
You can check out the latest Miley picture on PerezHilton and judge for yourself. But in the meantime, there’s a little quote from Albert Einstein we’d like to leave you with, in dedication to Miley:
“Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.”
Well we're no Einstein, but we say, any girl who is kissing a boy while concerning herself with posing for the camera is not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.
And she needs to get a life.

 Oops, someone did it again – but this time, it’s not Britney Spears.
It looks like Bad-boy former president Bill Clinton is being exposed (pardon the pun) for another indiscretion – and we have to say, this time he traded up!
While Monica Lewinsky was put through the wringer not only for being mistress to the Pres but also for her appearance and her fashion sense - oh, the hats, people...remember the hats - this time around the press is going to have a hard time criticizing Bill’s lady of choice in extra-marital relations.
Gina Gershon, a cute, young, brunette actress is the latest lady to be accused of serving the former President – if you know what we mean. In a largely unnecessary 10,000 words, a Vanity Fair article titled The Comeback Id vaguely alludes to Clinton’s affair with Gershon, along with many other ladies including ball-buster Belinda Stronach.
We’re not really ones to get all political, but this story seems a little fishy in its timing. It’s getting to be the end of the Hillary Clinton / Barack Obama race, and although Clinton appears to be eating dust, it wouldn’t be a bad time for Obama supporters to push her down and trample right over her.
Bill himself is apparently livid over the story, not even bothering to issue his tagline: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” His representatives are more vocal on the subject, including aide Jay Carson, who referred to the article as “a tawdry anonymous quote-filled attack piece.”
We’re inclined to agree with Jay and Bill – this whole story smells like bunk to us. Where’s the illicit recordings, the blurry iPhone, receipts from the dirty pay-by-the-hour hotels to back up the story? Apparently there are none, so don’t feel bad if you want to gloss over this story altogether.
And even if it is true, why pick on Bill now? A slam like that is not likely to hurt Hillary’s campaign, since the damage is already done. The girl is down, please refrain from booting her in the soft spots.
Truthfully, we barely cared about Bill’s first indiscretion, as the thought of him engaging in any type of “sexual relations” gives us more heebie-jeebies than the thought of Richie Sambora’s sperm. We're even less likely to care about these latest speculative escapades.
Let’s all do ourselves a favor and leave Bill and Hill’s love life closeted in their separate bedrooms, shall we?

 From the Jolie-Pitt baby pics and Mariah Carey's wedding pics to the latest Lindsay Lohan hot story, magazines like Us and People are paying increasingly more for a crack at top billing with the public.
But with the bids for pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s forthcoming bundles of joy rising to a reported $15 million, how much is too much to pay for a one-shot headline deal?
While Brad and Angelina have a great reputation for donating the proceeds from photo shoots to worthy charities, there is still the question of whether a magazine shelling out exorbitant amounts of money is a positive or negative attribute to our culture and our relationship with celebrities.
Same goes for the sale of Lindsay Lohan’s public coming out. Not long after Lindsay was caught getting cozy with gal-pal Samantha Ronson, the word was that OK! magazine made a $1 million offer for exclusive rights on the star’s first public announcement of her current gay status.
Between the Headlines
There are two sides to the finances on these hot stories. The first is that people undeniably want the latest news, photos and celebrity interviews, so what better way to get them than in a structured business transaction? The mags come out happy, the stars come out happy, and in more and more cases, charitable organizations are coming out the true winners.
Not to mention these high-priced interviews and photo shoots have an integrity that you don’t often get in much of today’s celebrity coverage, where any reporter can slam a camera lens into a celeb’s face and bait them with invasive questions.
With a formal Q and A, we get the opportunity to idolize our favorite celebrities again, rather than leer at the dirty sides of their lives. Celebs should be grateful for the opportunity to get some positive coverage to balance out the flashed-anatomy shots and caught-on-camera tantrums that circulate in the tabloids, and the public should be happy for the healthy escapism that comes in taking an interest in the glamorous celebrity lifestyle.
The downside of these purchased interviews, however, is the bidding war that most often ensues. With magazines driving each other up and celebs holding out for the highest offer, the battles can becomes as ugly as the aforementioned media attacks celebs already endure.
Sometimes it’s no wonder that the paps break their way into a celeb’s personal space – no magazine can afford to pay millions of dollars for their stories, yet they have to have something to run at press time. Even if it’s nothing more than an accidental crotch shot.
The point is this:
If you’re a star and you’ve got something you want to willingly share with the world (before a photographer comes in and takes it), why not approach a reputable magazine yourself, rather than wait around for the highest bidder? You’ll still come away with money, but you can take a little more control over your own press coverage and possibly establish a respectable relationship with the press.
And if you’re a magazine, why not take a stand? If the price gets uncomfortably high for a story or a picture, step away from the bidding war and focus on creating a quality mag that stars will want to come to in the future. There are lots of hot stories out there beyond the latest baby pics and raunchy rumor, and these are the stories the public will chase once the latest headline becomes yesterday’s news.
We have to think that if every celebrity story comes with a price, and stars and the media look at their relationship with the public as nothing more than dollars and cents, then it’s the public who are losing out.
In our dream Hollywood, filled with celebrities we can idolize and adore rather than revile and poke fun at due to the latest smutty story, we’d like to see a solid commitment of respect and accommodation between magazine and celebrities. In the end, when fair prices mean more quality stories and less need for underhanded paparazzi ruining the glamour of celebrity, such a scenario pays off for everyone.

Mission Impossible 3 hottie, Michelle Monaghan and her husband of almost 3 years , Peter White, are expecting their first baby together, Monaghan’s rep confirmed yesterday.
"They are very excited," claims Michelle’s rep, Jennifer Allen, who also confirms that Michelle is due in the fall.
Those of you who haven’t seen Mission Impossible 3 may recognize Michelle from other high profile movies like the 2007 hit The Heartbreak Kid alongside Ben Stiller or as Matt Damon’s co-star in the 2004 box office hit The Bourne Supremacy.
Monaghan can also be seen in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Gone Baby Gone and, most recently, Maid of Honor.
The actress and her graphic guitar artist husband met in a New York bar in 2000 and have been together ever since.
Michelle opened up to PEOPLE at the Maid of Honor premiere about just how much she wants to have children:
"I love children and it's something that I've always wanted, to be a mother and have kids," she said, noting that children would be in their (hers and Peter’s) future for sure.
Congratulations to Michelle and Peter and our best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

 From Tyra Banks to Tricia Helfer and now to supermodel Kim Alexis, it seems we just can’t get enough of the supermodel lifestyle – and reality TV shows that chronicle every divalicous moment of it.
In her new show, She’s Got the Look, Kim Alexis is taking on the role as hostess with the mostest, as she attempts to scout out the next hot model fit for photogs and runways. Certainly, she’ll have some big shoes to fill (sorry Tyra, we see those size 11s!) as she’ll be following in the shadows of hit series America’s Next Top Model and the only-slightly-less-popular Canada’s Next Top Model.
So where’s the twist that’s going to make She's Got the Look worth watching?
Rather than showcasing the hottest up-and-coming beauties and moulding them into models like Tyra and Tricia did, Alexis’ show will search for women between 35 and 63 - yes, that's 63 - in the hopes of giving them a second chance in the ruthless modelling industry.
According to Kim, the show is “a chance to enhance women over 35 who still look good and feel good about themselves and want a second chance at something.”
“They may have stepped aside for family or for love, but always wanted to try it,” she explained in an interview with Los Angeles Daily News.
Oh boy! We can almost smell the desperation already!
The show is set to debut on June 4th, on network TV Land. The judging panel includes former supermodel Beverly Johnson, stylist-to-the-stars Robert Verdi and Sean Patterson, president of Wilhemina Models, the company offering up the grand prize contract.
The 10 contestants on the show will live in a New York City loft and, following the same format of other model shows, will compete in challenges proving their runway capabilities. Along with the contract, the winner of the competition will also be featured in a photo shoot for SELF Magazine.
Now for the real question:
Will we watch a bunch of past-their-prime women b****-slap it out for top honors in the "so over the hill that no one cares anyway" modeling category?
Hell ya, we can't wait!
How about you?

It appears that Academy Award-winning actress Tatum O’Neil can’t fight her addiction to drugs – even after losing custody of her three children because of it.
Sunday night at approximately 7:30 pm. the 44-year-old actress was arrested by detectives from Manhattan South Narcotics after they found her buying crack and cocaine a few blocks from her apartment.
According to CNN, investigators charged O'Neil with criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Upon arrest, the actress reportedly switched into damage-control mode, insisting to police that she was there to help research for an upcoming role as a junkie.
“You know who I am, right?' "one source quotes the actress as telling the police. 'I'm researching a part - I'm doing this for a part as a junkie.'
But New York’s finest police officers weren’t dumb enough to buy her excuse – especially when she’s had a long history of drug abuse.
After her divorce from tennis superstar John McEnroe in 1992, O’Neil’s life spun out of control and she began dealing with a very serious addiction to heroin. Shortly after, she lost custody of her children.
O’Neil was in booking early Monday and is expected to be arraigned later.
Let’s hope she gets the help (and punishment) she deserves.

If you’ve been reading headlines like “Angelina Jolie Gives Birth” or “Angelina Jolie Has Twins,” we’re here to tell you that what you’ve been reading is a big sham.
Angelina Jolie is not giving (and has not given) birth to the twins, her rep confirmed this afternoon.
“Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France."
And while Angelina and the babies’ daddy-to-be, Brad Pitt, are at home anxiously awaiting their arrival, the 32-year-old actress is doing her best to keep the stress levels as low as possible.
The dynamic duo confirmed they were expecting twins during the Cannes Film Festival earlier this month.
It is expected that Angelina will deliver the two little bundles of joy (which are rumored to be girls) in France, within the next few weeks.
Do you hope Angie and Brad have twin girls – or are you keeping your fingers crossed for a little Pitt boy?

   The Pete Wentz / Ashlee Simpson-Wentz baby rumors are true, Clay Aiken’s impregnated his BFF Jaymes Foster and little Zac Hanson of boyband Hanson is all grown up with a baby of his own. What better time to take a look at some of Hollywood’s young men who are taking on the Daddy role?
First off, Pete Wentz.
You can’t really find fault with Pete being a dad, despite his shotgun-inspired wedding to girlfriend Ashlee Simpson. Besides, we’re kind of excited that the couple’s pregnancy rumor was true, Pete and Ashlee are cute as can be.
Even better, they both seem really excited about their marriage and upcoming addition to the family, giddily stating, “This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.”
Cute, cute, cute.
Moving on to Zac Hanson.
It’s not really a surprise that the youngest MMMBopper is procreating only a year after he’s legally allowed to drink (and let’s face it, that’s how most babies are made, if you know what we mean). His little guy is already here, a bopping baby boy born Tuesday named John Ira Shepherd Hanson, the first baby for Zac and his wife Kate.
Zac is following in his brothers’ footsteps in starting a young family - the eldest Hanson brother at 27, Isaac Hanson has one child with wife Nikki and another on the way, while middle bro Taylor, 25, is cranking out the kiddies. He and wife Natalie have three mini-Hansons already.
Hey, we’re all in favor of lots of babies and props to all three boys for keeping their family life out of the public eye. Seems like they’re making great great grownups, despite their boyband roots!
Best for last...
Okay, time for your weirdometer to go off. The latest daddy rumors are surrounding none other than...Clay Aiken! Yup the former Idol ingénue is said to have a baby on the way, which you would think would finally put to rest all those closet speculations on his sexuality.
That is, until you hear the circumstances surrounding the baby story. Clay is said to have knocked up via artificial insemination his good friend, record producer Jaymes Foster – who for background info is sister to famous music producer David Foster.
Now you might think Clay is out of place on a young Hollywood Dad list, given he’s closing in on 30. However, exceptions are to be made for slightly older dudes who sperminate MUCH OLDER WOMEN. Yup, Jaymes Foster is the big 5-0, which makes Clay look like a warm-weather fowl.
We’re not sure if this story is true, but either way - a wee bit creepy. Still, reports say Clay intends to be an active dad, not just a sperm donor, so this little non-traditional bun could have a very happy life.
Chalk Clay up on the Young Hollywood Dads list, and congratulations to all these young dads for making good use of sperm!
