Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston and Our Shared Crackers and Jell-O Heritage
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyOh dear. Today my colleague Sandra Fish brought me up to speed on the ever-changing Tilt-A-Whirl of love in a universe that is light years away from New York and Chelsea Clinton. Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston Engagement: It's Off Again. Maybe. This story's got everything you've come to expect of the family dramas surrounding our former governor of the great state of Alaska. Tabloid covers. Hints of a reality show. References to both the song "Jack and Diane" and Kathy Griffin. Not to mention the prospect of a downhome wedding. Chelsea may have been born in Little Rock, but she's no more ...
Chelsea Clinton's Wedding: Partying All Night Long
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 2) -- First came the outdoor "I do" part of the Chelsea Clinton-Marc Mezvinsky wedding weekend at the opulent Astor Courts estate overlooking the Hudson River on Saturday, complete with the groom stomping a glass at the end of the interfaith ceremony. That was before sundown. Then came a pair of joyous celebrations just steps away: a seated dinner and dancing for some 400 guests inside a structural windowed tent lit by chandeliers, and an after-party that began around 2 a.m. and rocked on until 4:30 in the private mansion's glass-roofed tennis court. The festivities ended with a Sunday ...
Chelsea Clinton Turns to Vera Wang for 2 Gowns
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Aug. 1) - Chelsea Clinton needed two gowns by Vera Wang for her elaborate wedding to Marc Mezvinksy - one for the ceremony and one for the party. The more formal dress worn by Clinton on Saturday at an exclusive estate in Rhinebeck, N.Y., had a strapless bodice, laser-cut organza ball skirt and a glittery embellished belt. For the reception, she changed into a Grecian-style gown with a narrow, black grosgrain belt. Wang also dressed the bridesmaids. They wore strapless bias-cut gowns made of lavender chiffon with plum-colored bows. The designer was a guest at the event and said it ...
Another Wedding. And a Funeral...That Never Happened
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyAll day Friday, I was dragging around the house, and I put this in my Facebook status line: "Starting from zero, got nothin' to lose." That's from the 1988 hit song "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman. The first time I listened to this tale of poverty and longing, I cried. If ever there was an anthem for my sad, white-trash childhood, this was it. It would not be appropriate to use a public forum to detail my late father's crimes against humanity, so here's the Cliff Notes version: Today he probably would have gone to jail, but times being what they were, instead he got electroshock ...
Opinion: Outraged by Cost of Chelsea's Wedding? Just Chill
By Rachel Sklar - AOL News(July 31) -- Breaking news! Rich, famous people with important VIP friends are hosting an expensive wedding! I've been a little amazed -- but not surprised -- at the raised eyebrows over the cost of Chelsea Clinton's wedding. The super-expensive gluten-free wedding cake! The glass-walled tent! The $200,000 for security alone! Kyle Drennan, writer for Conservative watchdog site Newsbusters, was beside himself over the porcelain port-a-potties ordered for the guests, outraged that a wedding-related segment on CBS' "The Early Show" "did not raise any questions about the over-the-top extravagance ...
Two Weddings and an E-mail
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailyAs some may have heard, Chelsea Clinton is getting married on Saturday in a multimillion-dollar wedding. People have said the event is excessive, especially in these tough times. Others, the U.K. Guardian's, Paul Harris, observe, after the family scandals she endured, Chelsea deserves an extraordinary wedding, and still others react with a yawn. For a few, the yawn morphs into a sneer. In the comment section of the Guardian, Harris was upbraided for his sycophancy: "You write informed pieces about Detroit and then end up writing this dreadful crap about the Clinton daughter. Were you hoping ...
Everyone Wants In on Clinton's Wedding, Even Raccoons
By Ben Muessig - AOL News(July 30) -- If you don't have an invite, it's not going to be easy crashing Chelsea Clinton's much-hyped wedding in Rhinebeck, N.Y. -- even with a sign like this. Minor league baseball mascot "Rascal the Raccoon" of the Hudson Valley Renegades hit the streets of Rhinebeck on Wednesday with a homemade love letter for the 30-year-old former first daughter, reading: "Chelsea will u marry me? -- Rascal." Despite his sports world cred, Rascal doesn't have much of a chance of getting on the exclusive guest list for Saturday's ceremony, which will reportedly draw 400 to 500 VIPs, such as Oprah ...
Chelsea Clinton's Wedding: Making Bill Clinton Long for Arkansas?
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyIs Chelsea Clinton's wedding making Bill Clinton nostalgic? Maybe so. According to Kate Johnson, director of the Clinton House Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the former president plans an August visit to the house where he and Hillary Rodham married and first lived as a couple in 1975. Clinton will combine the visit with a trip to northwest Arkansas for the dedication of a courtyard at the University of Arkansas in honor of his friend, law school Dean Richard Atkinson, who died in 2005. The former president is also scheduled to attend a breakfast and luncheon while in Arkansas, Johnson ...

Clinton Wedding's Media Frenzy Hits Small NY Town
By Mara Gay - AOL News(July 29) -- Reporters are flocking to the site of Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding in Rhinebeck, N.Y. -- and driving themselves mad as they struggle in vain to get details about the lavish but fiercely private affair. The daughter of former president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton never ran for president herself, but her wedding has become the latest subject of media frenzy anyway, from the event's big price tag (estimated at $3 million to $5 million) to the designer dress Chelsea may wear (Is it Vera Wang?). This week, the gossip site TMZ even reported that the ...
