The daughter and only child of former president Bill Clinton and his husband wife, Hilary, Chelsea Clinton tied the knot with her longtime beau, Marc Mezvinsky. Honestly, can you imagine one groomsman at the altar not saying, “Don’t do it, Marc!”?
Anyway, apparently Chelsea looked really pretty (at her standard anyway) her half-uncle Roger Clinton told Entertainment Tonight, “She was more beautiful than ever,” as the 30-year-old bride walked down the aisle in a Vera Wang gown with her daddy. Roger added, “It was a great night.”
It was a grand event that took place at the lavish, Astor family palace in Rhinebeck, N.Y. One guest said, “Marc gave an eloquent speech about his love for Chelsea,” adding, “At the end of his speech, he ignored the rest of the room and looked very intense. He looked right into Chelsea’s eyes. Oh, it was something. The whole room was quiet. You could feel the energy in the room. He impressed a lot of people.”
Another guest added, “Bill’s chin began quivering and he tried to fake a smile as a tear came down his cheek. He whispered something into Chelsea’s ear, and she wiped the tear off his face. It was so touching. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.” Give me a break. There isn’t a genuine bone in his body, and it was probably the first and only honest moment in his life and that’s why he cried.
In another wedding highlight, the father of the bride gave a toast to his daughter, the newlywed. A guest said, “Bill’s toast was vintage Bill Clinton. He spoke elegantly about what it was like to welcome Marc into the family.” Another guest added, “It hit all the right marks. It was perfect.” Are you surprised? Clinton is a charismatic SOB, how do you think he became president and almost got away with an affair in the Oval Office? Anyway, as long as Chelsea doesn’t apply any of her parents’ advice to her own marriage she should be okay.
Nope, it’s not Michelle. Unfortunately, it’s actually President Barack Obama who will be making an appearance on The View. Michelle Obama would be plenty acceptable to interview and she actually could even be offered a permanent spot by the time the episode wraps. Anyway, Barack Obama will be the first current president to appear on the daytime talk show and will be recording a pre-taped interview with the five completely irrational women on Wednesday.
The hogwash interview will include topics such as his celebrity sponsors administration’s accomplishments, magazine/tabloid covers jobs, most powerful celebrity couples the economy, James Cameron’s advice the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and of course his friendship with Oprah family life in the White House. Because that’s what is most important. It’s not important that he’s the President of the United States and likely has other things on his check list to be working on instead of flying Air Force One to New York City and wasting our time and his on a daytime talk show that nobody watches anyhow. It’s a beautiful thing.
You can be sure the ladies of The View are all ecstatic about the presidential visit with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The show is usually focused around tabloid headlines and celebrity promotional interviews. Like the time Obama went on the show in 2004 to promote his book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” What did he inherit? A green card … citizenship? Interesting.
The democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, expressed his opinion that The View may not be an appropriate forum for the sitting president of the United States. “I think the president should be accessible, should answer questions that are pre-screened, but I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency.” Well, that all went out the window ages ago on late night television. So Randell suggests, “If I was advising President Obama, I’d say do as much ad hoc as you can do,” adding, “He doesn’t have to be scripted, he doesn’t have to be telepromptered.” And he may as well throw back a beer bong while he’s off the clock.
Does anyone else find it incredibly annoying how the world and the media have transformed the president into a baseball statistic? Every time President Obama pops up somewhere he’s making some historical record. For example, “Today, the President will make history on The View.” Next time Obama’s going to wear a purple shirt instead of a white shirt and the headline will be “Today, the President will make history on The View. He’s never worn a purple shirt on The View ever before.” Spare me.
The White House spokesman Robert Gibbs explained, “Look, I think it is another opportunity for the president to talk to people where they are. We made a decision to put the president on Jay Leno, David Letterman, The View, because that’s where — people have busy lives and it’s best to go where they are. And I think that’s what the president will do tomorrow.” Or, maybe he’ll do a standup comedy act about his dwindling approval ratings? Because that’s a winner EVERY time. Will somebody watch this and let us know what happens … apparently unlike our president, we have work to do.
Wyclef for President!?!? It was recently reported the hip-hop musician, Wyclef Jean, is considering a bid for the run at Presidency in Haiti. CNN reached Jean by phone and asked if he would elaborate on the idea, and he explained it’s a bit early and is still thinking it through but said, “I can’t sing forever.”
Over the weekend, it was reported the Haitian native would be having a go in the political ring in his homeland country, but Jean tells CNN those reports make it seem he’s been “drafted” but that hasn’t been decided definitely.
However, the musician did confirm he has take the appropriate steps and filled out the necessary paperwork in the event he does decide to proceed with his candidacy. Jean has been an active supporter of Haiti through his Yele Haiti Foundation, and he was one of the first celebrities to offer aide the country after the devastating earthquake early this year.
In a statement from his foundation, “Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of where he is part of the government moving forward,” adding, “At this time, Wyclef Jean has no announced his intent to run for Haitian president. If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.”
Say what?
According to ‘Us Weekly’ Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson plan to tie the knot again this coming year! Ya, I don’t think anyone saw this one coming. “We got engaged two weeks ago,” Bristol, 19, told Us Weekly. “It felt right, even though we don’t have the approval of our parents.” Yes, that’s right the couple didn’t tell Bristol’s mom, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. They plan to break the news the same time the story is released, which means Sarah will be finding out the same time you are! “It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board,” Bristol said.
Like any couple, they have had their fair share of ups and downs. The couple called off their engagement two weeks after baby Tripp was born in December of 2008. “I really thought we were over,” Johnston, 20, says. “So when I went, I had no hope. I think we both just started talking — and then we took Tripp for a walk.”
“When he left that night, we didn’t hug or kiss, but I was thinking how different it was. He texted me: ‘I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again’ … I was in shock,” Bristol says. They apparently rekindled their romance three months ago in the midst of fighting for custody of their 18-month-old son, Tripp.
Well…Congrats! How long do you think they will last this time?
The father of Sarah Palin’s grandson, Levi Johnston, is hard at work making amends with baby mama, Bristol, as well as the entire Palin family. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Levi says, “Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he continued, “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”
What? Is he running for governor? Levi could not have sounded more like a politician in that statement. In the past, the former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, and Levi were in a war of words, but now Johnston has admitted he has grown up and wants to make things right with his son’s grandparents.
Bristol Palin added, “Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.”
In Johnston’s public apology to the family, he says, “So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion. I hope one day to restore your trust.”
