Elizabeth Edwards vs. Reille Hunter
So! Gossip's equivalent of Boris and Natasha—Rush & Molloy—came correct today with some LOLCAT-fighting between Elizabeth Edwards and Rielle Hunter. Contained herein: internet commenting, birthday spoiling cancer, John Kerry as "Richie Rich," etc. Let's take a look. Apparently, Elizabeth Edwards: less a fan of Rielle Hunter's than we thought. She's Talking to a divorce lawyer, Refuses to sign off on any confessions that her husband fathered Hunter's kid, "Vehemently opposes" a plan to have Hunter move near their family's Wilmington beach house, and Has been commenting on the internet under the commenter name "Cherubim." Maybe she was on here? Who knows?! One blogger seems to have the goods on this Cerubim business, naturally. Via Daily Intel, look see some comments: As you all continue to discuss Lisa Druke's lastest pay day story from the National Enquirer. I think you all should remember these important facts: John and Elizabeth Edwardsa have been married for 31 years. They had four children together, three are living, and one, recently, died. Elizabeth Edwards has stage 4 cancer. Any decent human being would not have inserted herself into their lives, and then sold stories about them to the National Enquierer for monetary gain. Lisa Druke, a.k.a. the Rielle (Real) Hunter fills me with disgust. I hope someday to never hear anything about her again. More somewhat substantial conspiratorial insanity here. Also, commenteratti: at least you can say there's some royalty amongst you, now. Oh. And then there's this. Remember former Edwards aide Andrew Young's book proposal we looked at last weekend? There's more. Edwards supposedly slept with other women besides Hunter. Obvi. Elizabeth made John sleep in the barn after she found out about Hunter. She'd come in the middle of the night and start screaming "accusatory rants" at him. Hunter has a psychic. This psychic's name is Bob. Bob told Hunter how she should handle this thing and, presumably, to move to California. Edwards used to talk a bunch of shit on John Kerry until Kerry brought him on as his running mate. He called Kerry "Richie Rich." And the "best" one: Edwards had to call off a birthday date with Hunter. Now, you don't cancel on someone's birthday, because that's mean. But if you found out that day that your wife's cancer returned, you might tell your mistress to hold off no matter what day it is, because, you know, you need to handle this one. So he did. And "an unsympathetic Hunter screamed at him." And honestly, I don't even know what to do with this: Ted Kennedy once told Young about a would-be assassin who managed to get into his Senate office because one of his bodyguards was having a gay liaison with one of his top aides. So, in conclusion, if this is true: John Edwards is a cooze, hell still definitely hath no fury like a woman scorned by a cooze, Ted Kennedy was almost killed because of a Gay bodyguard doing it on the job, and twenty years down the line,...

AP's Notes on Roman Polanski's Arrest Leak Onto News Wires Everywhere
Will Roman Polanski be extradited? Is he a misunderstood artist, or a rapist who should rot? Questions! But none as interesting as how the AP's notes for the story landed on the pages of Forbes and the New York Times. Okay, fine. Maybe questions about rape and specific instances that go transcend our typical definitions of crime are more interesting, but this one's definitely the most fun. Our tipline's been blowing up with it. Business Insider caught it before anyone on the front pages of Forbes. We got some pretty great screengrabs of it from the Times. Basically, instead of the Polanski story, this went up instead: Swiss arrest Polanski on US request in sex case Associated Press, 09.27.09, 10:41 AM EDT OK, can you do some more probing? New York will want to know frank's out today. i checked already, and so did zurich. they say the question is irrelevant. he answered me with the quote i used, about we knew when he was coming this time. he's been here many times in the past, we think. thx brad. aptn is aware, but unfortunately won't make it in time, but is hoping to catch tail end. i'm pushing out another writethru with some more background details before press conference. no surprise, new york is really hot on this. they particularly want to know why now. (has he never set foot in switzerland before?) sheila, theorizes that's because they're under intense pressure over ubs and want to throw the U.S. a bone, but can you check with justice department sources there? is frank around too, or are you alone? u can tell aptn press conf 1700 (15 gmt) in bern at the parliament i'll watch it live on internet Heh. Who uses the word "probing" anymore? Also, isn't "probing" in relation to a rape story slightly off-color, even in notes? Maybe my mind's in the gutter. Then again, I am in New York, and I would want to know, and want to know WHY. New Yorkers: we love a good Hollywood rape extradition saga! Also, looks like the AP gets stonewalled by those goddamn Swiss quite often. Good to know they like to theorize about countries throwing one another "a bone" sometime before checking with their Swiss Justice Department sources over whether or not those hot chocolate drinking narcs, you know, owe us one. The Associated Press: who needs to steal their content when they can just give us their notes instead? MORE >>
SNL Cast Member Jenny Slate's First Fu*king Show: F-Bomb, Dropped
Ouch. That hurts. New cast member Jenny Slate's first night on SNL. Season premiere. She's co-starring in a skit about a biker chicks' talk show. The word "freaking" was used a lot. And guess what: she freaking said the F-Word. As commenter DahlELama put it: "Serves Lorne right—Michaela Watkins would never have done that." Entirely possible! But also: maybe not? Not sure. Either way, it's surely going to generate a nice amount of publicity for the new season, which we'll get into tomorrow morning. In the mean time, enjoy the blowfish face of "oh, shit, Lorne's going to have my ass on the fryer in about twenty minutes." Let's see if she's in any skits next week. Or the week after. Or the week after that. Be nice to her, Lorne. It's the kid's first night. [Thanks for the assist, Mattchew03.] And in case the above gets taken down, the original: And these guys put together a bunch. Who wants to take a bet that at least half-at least-will be taken down by noon? Finally, here's Seth Meyers hugging Slate at the end of the show. MORE >>
