Will 'Dancing With the Stars' Land Christine O'Donnell?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyWhether it's Christine O'Donnell, Todd Palin, Eliot Spitzer or Tipper Gore, "Dancing With the Stars" needs a politician when the season 12 lineup is announced Monday night. Why do they need a politician? Well, look at the popularity boost the show got last fall when a politician's daughter -- Bristol Palin -- made it to the finals of the show. Many quibbled with the selection -- what made Bristol a star? Her claim to fame was as an unmarried, teenage parent whose mother, Sarah Palin, is the former governor of Alaska and the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee. She wasn't the greatest dancer, ...
Mark Sanford and Maria Belen Chapur: Happily Ever After?
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailySoul mates are hard to find. But former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford has likely found his, and no thanks to popular websites like Match.com and eHarmony. Sanford, who left office on Jan. 12 when Nikki Haley was sworn in, was spotted last week at a glitzy resort in Uruguay with Maria Belen Chapur, a former Argentine journalist he calls his soul mate. The couple fascinates the Argentine press. The Argentine celebrity magazine "Caras" published an eight-page spread on them. One picture shows Sanford in a blue polo shirt, khaki shorts, baseball cap and sunglasses holding hands with Chapur ...
Todd Palin on DWTS? How About 'Dancing With the Pols'?
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailySo "Dancing With the Stars" is flirting with Todd Palin, after daughter Bristol waltzed her way to the finals and created a voting brouhaha that resulted in record ratings. Sarah Palin -- former Alaska governor, 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, wife of Todd, mom of Bristol -- discounted reports from our sister site, Popeater.com, that she encouraged DWTS producers to include failed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in the show's next season. Certainly, Bristol put the politics in DWTS. So clearly, more politicians mean higher ratings. And who needs stars? Here's ...
The Inconvenient Truth About Al Gore's PR Problem
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 1) -- Since leaving office, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore has transformed himself from a politician to a secular saint in the crusade against global warming. Just three years ago, he won a Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness of climate change around the world, and his documentary about global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Academy Award. But his status as an environmental leader may be faltering. ...
Enquirer: Police Investigating 2 More Accusations Against Al Gore
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(July 21) -- Al Gore hasn't had a good summer, and a new report could make it worse -- doubly so. According to The National Enquirer, police are investigating the claims of two more massage therapists who say that Gore sexually abused them in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The former incident is said to have taken place when Gore was staying at a Beverly Hills hotel ahead of the 79th Academy Awards ceremony; the latter has been traced to Tokyo. Both would have occurred while Gore was married. Last month, the Enquirer broke the news that police had investigated, dismissed, then recently ...
Tipper Gore Doesn't Believe Accusations Against Al, Friend Says
By Christopher Weber - Politics DailyTipper Gore doesn't believe allegations of groping and other unwanted sexual advances against her soon-to-be-ex-husband, former Vice President Al Gore, and the accusations had nothing to do with their separation after 40 years of marriage, according to a family friend. "Both Al and Tipper are baffled by the allegations across the board, frustrated to see his name dragged through the mud," the unnamed friend of the former second lady told People magazine. The friend said Tipper Gore was dismayed to be back in the public spotlight after police in Oregon said they would investigate a massage ...
Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Questions of Character
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyWhen he opened his White House bid in Carthage, Tenn., Al Gore proclaimed, "I will take my own values of faith and family to the presidency -- to build an America that is not only better off, but better." It was mid-June 1999. Just four months earlier, the Senate had ended the sordid, year-long Monica Lewinsky scandal by acquitting President Clinton of charges stemming from the affair. No wonder Gore felt called on to remind people about the difference between his morals and Clinton's. I wrote back then for USA Today that he alluded a half dozen times to values and character and the need to ...
Police Explain Reasons for Reopening Gore Case
By not in system - AOL NewsPORTLAND, Ore. (July 2) -- Police explained Thursday why they reopened a sexual assault investigation into Al Gore, saying an extra review was needed because detectives looking into the matter last year failed to notify high-ranking officials of their decision to drop the case. A massage therapist to the stars has accused the former vice president of repeatedly groping and kissing her during a late-night, alcohol-fueled attack in a luxury hotel suite in October 2006. Gore adamantly denies the allegations. Detectives investigated the claims in 2006 and 2009 but decided not to pursue the case ...
Probe Into Gore Groping Accusation Reopened
By not in system - AOL News(July 1) -- Portland police have re-opened an investigation into allegations made last year by a massage therapist that former Vice President Al Gore groped and kissed her and made unwelcome sexual advances in an upscale hotel suite late one night in October 2006. The Portland Police Bureau did not explain why the case was being re-opened, after stating last week there had been insufficient evidence to pursue it. However, in the past seven days, the allegations by masseuse Molly Hagerty, 54, have been trumpeted in a pair of National Enquirer stories. ...
Al Gore: A Joke on Late-Night Talk Shows Once Again
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyAt WomanUp, we've opined about Al and Tipper Gore's separation and allegations he had a fling with the Hollywood mogul, Laurie David, who bankrolled his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." We also speculated about the Gore daughter's divorce on the heels of her parents'. Now we are compelled to delve into the most recent news about Al Gore, and it's a tawdry tale of his allegedly attempting to force himself on a masseuse in a hotel room in Portland, Ore. My colleague Bonnie Goldstein in e-mail today commented she finds it "unimaginable that Al Gore, the former senator from Tennessee and ...
