FameCrawler : Hillary Clinton

Michelle Obama Has a Big Clay Head

Karl Erikson — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 23:36:00 GMT

Only the third first lady to have her likeness made out of wax at Madam Tussauds, Michelle Obama's figure is due to be revealed in March. Here's a behind-the-scenes photo of sculptor Colin Jackson putting the finishing touches on the clay mold of her head. Michelle's wax figure will stand next to President Obama's, which we showed you right here at Famecrawler, when it's finished.

The other two first ladies with wax figures? That'd be Jacqueline Kennedy and newly-appointed Secretary of State (ugh) Hillary Clinton.

My, Michelle has a bigger head than I thought.

Sarah Palin Wants $11 Million for Book Deal

Karl Erikson — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Back in Alaska, Governor Sarah Palin still wants more. The ex-Republican VP nominee, Sarah is trying to write a tell-all book. She's represented by the same lawyer who represented Barack Obama and the Clintons for their book deals.

According to sources, Sarah is looking for an $11 million advance! That's a pretty tall order, since Hillary Clinton got only $8 million in advance for "Living History." Laura Bush received just $2 million in advance for her upcoming White House memoir. What the hell makes Sarah think she's worth $11 million?

There may also be a TV deal coming, though Sarah's lawyer remains mum on the subject. He's gotten deals for NBC's Brian Williams, Lesley Stahl, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta (the new Surgeon General in Obama's administration).

Sarah is now halfway done with her first term as governor, and gave her State of the State Address last night in Juneau. She congratulated President Obama and said if Barack "governs with the skill, grace and greatness of which he is capable, Alaska's going to be just fine."

Amy Poehler Returns to SNL - Video

Amy Poehler returned to Saturday Night Live just a month after she and husband ~~Justin Timberlake~~ Will Arnett welcomed little boy Archie.

It had been reported that Poehler was leaving the program, and she is. This coming week will be her last show.

Amy's first words were in the guise of Hillary Clinton and the statement worked for both the actress and the character, "You thought I was gone, didn't you!"

Angelina Jolie Makes The World A Better Place

trix — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 17:49:00 GMT

Angelina Jolie recently took a secret trip to Afghanistan where she furthered her role as a Goodwill Ambassador. She takes her role very seriously and has taken steps to insure that the refugee children get the help they need.
Actress Angelina Jolie and a team of 25 powerful law firms are joining forces against the government's attempt to deport thousands of unaccompanied and illegal immigrant children - including hundreds from New York City. Backed by Microsoft Corp., Kids in Need of Defense will provide free legal representation to children separated from their parents. The group will open offices in New York and other several other cities... "These children often have nothing - no money, no support and no family," Jolie said in a statement. "Many end up becoming lost, traumatized, and ultimately forgotten."
"Over the past seven years, I've worked with UNHCR and I've traveled around the world trying to bring attention to refugees," she said. "It's been a remarkable education."

Jolie, who has visited dozens of war-torn countries around the world, spoke passionately on behalf of the victims she's met. "I've seen refugees return to live among the same people who attacked them," she said. "They are returning to the same lawlessness that sent them running in the first place. I've seen aid workers tear up as they put ladies on a bus and say, 'I don't know what we're sending them back to...
"I don't know if the ICC is the answer. And I don't know what type of court is, or what it would need to be to make all of us agree and make it strong enough," Jolie admitted. "But I do know this: No mother who had her children killed in front of her, no young girl sold into slavery, no boy kidnapped and forced to be a child soldier and no young girl like the 3-year-old I met in Sierra Leone, who had her limbs cut off, should be expected to simply forget. No one should have to choose between peace and justice."

Those are powerful words and we can hope that this team of lawyers can make a difference in the lives of these women and children. It will be a great thing to make sure these victims see justice.

'Joe The Plumber' Doesn't Understand The Media

trix — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

Joe Wurzelbacher is mad. So mad in fact, that he is striking out at the media for jumping feet first into his personal life and finances.
"The media's worried about whether I've paid my taxes, they're worried about any number of silly things that have nothing to do with America," Wurzelbacher told the former Republican presidential hopeful on his show, "Huckabee."

What did he think was going to happen? Did he not see what happened to Sarah Palin? She was completely vetted by the gossip magazines so be prepared, it will only get worse before it gets better.

Sarah Palin Wants To Be On SNL?

trix — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:27:00 GMT

Sarah Palin and the McCain staff are trying to figure out how to respond to the spot-on impersonation done by Tina Fey on SNL the last three weeks.
Do you think that she should respond at all?
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that a Palinesque tweak to Tina Fey's American Express commercials may be in the works.
Sarah Palin may also appear on NBC's "Weekend Update" as early as Thursday night.

I can't wait to see what the next SNL Palin skit will be. They have been pretty funny thus far.

Sarah Palin: Miss Alaska Pageant Video

Whit Honea — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 23:13:00 GMT

Sarah Palin, long before she was the GOP candidate for vice-president, long before she was the governor of Alaska, long before she was the mayor of whatever that town is called, long before she was a TV sports reporter, long before she was a mother or married, she was a beauty queen. She was in the Miss Alaska Pageant, and this is that pageant. Swimsuit edition.

Mind you, this is not a post of judgment. I'm not a hater of the beauty pageant. I can't say I've ever watched one, other than being forced by my wife to sit through Miss Congeniality, and wait, maybe I do hate pageants. That movie sucked. I digress. I don't believe that being a beauty queen in a life before kids and politics has anything to do with who she is now- although Todd Palin may disagree.

Here, in all her 1980ish glory is Sarah Palin, before she was a Palin:

Sarah Palin's Daughter Caught Doing Drugs On Tape

trix — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:14:00 GMT

Heavens to murgatroid, will it ever stop?

The Enquirer has done some digging and says that it came up with a video of Bristol Palin smoking pot on camera. It also had a source who like any true source would, spilled the beans regarding Levi's, cocaine buying, smoking Oxycontin off of aluminum foil, habits.

They have such great parents!

The video of Bristol is from 2 years ago when she was 15, and reportedly was giggling like crazy after taking hits. The video is also being labeled as a regular night out for Bristol and her friends.

The pictures are a couple of years old as well of girls who are supposed to be friends with Bristol. It's supposedly a picture of Bristol, but as a commenter said it doesn't look like her. More like her and Levi's friends.

They're doing the Miley Pose.

Live! From New York! It's NOT Amy Poehler!

Karl Erikson — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:34:00 GMT

Amy Poehler, who is major league preggers, says she'll be leaving Saturday Night Live after the November election to give birth to her first child. Poehler, 37, just did one of the most popular skits ever on Saturday, playing Hillary Clinton next to Tina Fey's Sarah Palin.

"It's gonna be really hard - Boys II Men hard - to say goodbye to yesterday," Amy says in the latest issue of Men's Vogue. "SNL was dangerous, late-night, last-minute and star-studded, but like any good drug, you need to know when to put it down."

Oh, my dear, sweet Amy. SNL hasn't been a good drug in a really, really long time. Still, you were one of the only good parts left.

And lest you think that Amy is coming back after maternity leave, forget it. She'll be gone for good. In fact, the producers of "The Office" are getting her ready for her own NBC series. She'll also continue doing voicework for her animated kids' show "The Mighty B!"

It's a sad, sad day for Saturday nights.

Did Bristol and Levi Have A Shot Gun Wedding?

trix — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 20:16:00 GMT

Bristol and Levi may have tied the knot recently. That is, according to a Facebook page that has Bristol's name and picture on it. The couple got hitched and she, like any forward thinking woman may or may not do, hyphenated his name.

Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple things done and over with before she can give her attention fully to being the interferring mother of the bride.

Sarah Palin: Now She's a Racist?

Whit Honea — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 03:27:00 GMT

Obviously I'm not impressed with the GOP choice of Sarah Palin. That's the burden of common sense. However, even I'm getting tired of writing about her.

The thing is, ours is to cover celebrity and parents and poke the fun. Sarah Palin, with all apologies to the Jolie-Pitts, is the most famous parent in the world right now and therefore warrants our attention. The constant soap opera that surrounds her is just too much to ignore. Too much.

Now there is a server at a Juneau restaurant claiming Governor Palin used racist and sexist terminology, loudly and publicly, in regard to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, respectively. From the LA Progressive:

According to Lucille, the waitress serving her table at the time and who asked that her last name not be used, Gov. Palin was eating lunch with five or six people when the subject of the Democrat’s primary battle came up. The governor, seemingly not caring that people at nearby tables would likely hear her, uttered the slur and then laughed loudly as her meal mates joined in appreciatively.

What did she say, allegedly? “So Sambo beat the bitch!” Nice.

She may not win the vice presidency, but I wouldn't put Role Model of the Year out her reach just yet.

More Trouble For Sarah Palin- Photos!!!

trix — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:24:00 GMT

Oh dear, when is it all going to end.? Bristol Palin is starting to look like she's going to be the bane of her mothers existence, or at least her campaign for VP.

Some new pictures have surfaced of Bristol who is only 17 partaking in, oh my don't say it, underage drinking. She's actually not drinking in the photos, but posing with alcohol bottles. The beer is open though, so who's to say whether she was or wasn't drinking it. There are also some shots of her with guns and Levi Johnston, the father of her unborn child. That is if she's even really pregnant.

Now, in Alaska a child can consume alcohol if it is given to her by her parents so...just saying...

I'll be honest my parents allowed my sister and I to taste their adult beverages, but to let us consume whole ones by ourselves, not so much.

The Obama Text: Barack is My Booty Call

Whit Honea — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:16:00 GMT

Barack Obama sent out a text message and/or email to an elite few (or thousands) of people at a little before 5a.m. (ET) to officially announce his pick for his running mate before going to the media. That's 2 in the morning on the left coast.

That's right, just as I was stumbling out of the bar with a soiled liver and a loin full of hope I got beeped. That is perfect booty call timing. Turns out I wasn't his choice.

Actually, I was in bed. I'm a family man, you know. Barack Obama is also a family man and so is his pick Joe Biden (as we told you hours before the big news stations dared to run with it). Between Obama's young daughters and Biden's 5 grandchildren the South Lawn may soon be sporting some swings and one of those cool monkey bar things that looks like a dome. Those are awesome.

Here's the text officially announcing JoBama:

Whit --

I have some important news that I want to make official.

I've chosen Joe Biden to be my running mate.

Joe and I will appear for the first time as running mates this afternoon in Springfield, Illinois -- the same place this campaign began more than 19 months ago.

I'm excited about hitting the campaign trail with Joe, but the two of us can't do this alone. We need your help to keep building this movement for change.

Please let Joe know that you're glad he's part of our team. Share your personal welcome note and we'll make sure he gets it:

http://my.barackobama.com/welcomejoe

Thanks for your support,

Barack

P.S. -- Make sure to turn on your TV at 2:00 p.m. Central Time to join us or watch online at http://www.BarackObama.com.

See, Barack and I are close like that.

Laura Fay Is N.Y. Rep. Vito Fossella's Baby Mama

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 09 May 2008 00:23:00 GMT

First Eliot Spitzer, now Vito Fossella - these N.Y. politicians have been making lots of booty calls lately. Staten Island Republican Representative Fossella, who is already facing a drunken driving charge, admitted on Thursday that he had an extramarital affair with former Air Force lieutenant Laura Fay and that the two of them have a 3-year-old daughter together.

Fossella, who was pulled over on May 1 while driving with a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit, faces a mandatory jail sentence if convicted. The arrest had already threatened to end his ten-year career in the House, where he is the only Republican representing New York City.

In a statement Fossella said, "I have had a relationship with Laura Fay, with whom I have a three-year-old daughter. My personal failings and imperfections have caused enormous pain to the people I love and I am truly sorry. ... Over the coming weeks and months, I will to continue to do my job and I will work hard to heal the deep wounds I have caused."

Fossella and his wife Mary Patricia have three children.

Looks like he and Eliot Spitzer will have lots of time on their hands to spend commiserating over bottles of gin.

Yes, we here at FameCrawler have been a bit biased in our love of Barack Obama. That's because a) we like him, b) he has kids in the right age demographic for us to include him here, and c) 3 of our staff are Canadian and they don't care know what the hell I'm talking about when I rattle on about American politics.

That said, Hillary was on Letterman last night, and while Clinton doesn't have kids young enough for FameCrawler, Dave does. It's a loophole- Hillary's good at these.

Presidential Candidates Take On Britney

HerBadMother — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 12:00:00 GMT

Mike Huckabee has stepped forward as the only presidential wannabe to take an explicit position on Britneygate, and if this doesn't clinch the Republican nomination - if not the presidency - for Mr. Huckabee, I just don't know what will.

When asked by an aspiring political analyst by the name of Skittles what advice he would have for Britney Spears during this dark, dark time, he had this to say: "Advice? Why, I wouldn't give her any. I'd tell her to just keep livin'." Which, as a political scientist, I can tell you, means this: who the f*ck is Britney Spears?

Watch your back, Hillary. Watch your back.

Trick or Treat! Smell My Feet! Give Brangelina Something Good to Eat!

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 17:05:00 GMT

Expect to see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at your door this Halloween. Alot. According to a survey of 600 Americans conducted by Captain Morgan/Kelton Research (that would be the rum?) Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were named 2007's most popular celebrity couple costume. Runners-up included Britney and K-Fed, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the Bushes and the Beckhams. That would be a rare sight to see on Halloween - Posh actually eating a candy bar. I wonder if the costume comes with its own barf bag.

So if you and your mate are going to a Halloween party and Brangelina is all sold out, here are some other celebrity couple costume ideas:

Britney Spears and a Starbucks Cup

Lindsay Lohan and Twelve Dudes from Rehab

Paris Hilton and A Mirror

Heidi Klum and Seal's Penis
