Campbell Brown Slams Ed Rendell For Sexist Remarks

Bill Clinton to Join Barack Obama Administration Too?

It could happen.

Bill Clinton says he’ll probably be “a helpful sounding board” to his wife [Hillary], but wasn’t expecting any more involvement unless Obama “asks me to do something specific, which I’m neither looking for nor opposed to,” according to reports.

This follows Hillary’s appointment to Secretary of State.

EXCLUSIVE: Beyonce's Hottest Magazine Cover Ever?

Buy Giant HERE!

I’d say so.

Emil Wilbekin, editor in chief of Giant, spoke exclusively about this hot new cover:

“Beyonce is the biggest star in the world. She loves GIANT and we love her so it was a perfect match. It’s her second GIANT cover so the challenge was how to top her first cover where Beyonce was wearing curlers in her hair. We hired Ellen Von Unwerth, who photographed her the first time, because she has a great rapport with Beyonce.

The shoot was great because Beyonce is a professional and has fun while she is working. It was an eight hour shoot that started with Beyonce on all fours and ended with her walking down the street in hot pants and a trench coat in the rain. It was an Editor-in-Chief’s dream shoot. What else could you ask for from a cover shoot?”

IN TOUCH Asks "Who is Really Pregnant?"

Buy In Touch HERE!

Speaking of In Touch, this week the magazine is asking the question ‘Who’s Really Pregnant?’

Which of course means, the magazine has NO IDEA who is or isn’t pregnant.

The tip-off is the word REALLY (say it by emphasizing the lls in your head for a really long time.)

Plus, the question mark is a pure giveaway.

Let’s move from left to right on the female pregnancy targets:

Nicole Kidman – if she’s pregnant so am I.

Katie Holmes – who cares.

Jen Aniston – least convincing photo I’ve seen in a while.  Plus…
