Elizabeth Edwards to Write Off Philandering Husband

Er, I mean write about him. She’s got an autobiography coming out this May called Resilience. And the LA Times‘ “Top of the Ticket” wants to know:

…does she address the real issue — the Rielle Hunter issue?

Answer: We don’t know for sure…

“She has always been a kind of candid and honest writer,” Broadway Books publicist David Drake said. “And people can expect that of her in her new book.” So, in other words, we still don’t know.

But Roger Friedman over at Fox News says it definitely will address how the candidate’s wife experienced the affair, which he confessed to her long before going public last summer.

Well, he claims it happened long before that. And of course now everybody glosses over the three weeks between Edwards getting caught red-handed and his public confession, during which time the American media slapped their ink-stained hands over their ears and yelled, “I can’t hear you I can’t hear you la-la-la-la-la!!”

Anyway, according to Friedman:

Her publicist says “Resilience” is embargoed until its publication date and that he can’t discuss the specifics of its content. But it’s unlikely that Elizabeth, suffering from incurable cancer, will concede baby Frances Quinn’s paternity, or that the child is a half sibling to her own. That would raise a lot of questions about why the baby has gone without a father or financial resources since its birth last June.

But, as one insider exclaimed yesterday: “What is Elizabeth thinking?” Certainly the minute she does any publicity for “Resilience,” the first questions will be about Rielle Hunter and her baby daughter. And don’t think for a minute that Hunter is going to allow herself to be portrayed as a groupie, sycophant or gold digger. Far from it. I’m told that if “Resilience” minimizes her at all, Hunter will not shy away from showing her own “resilience.” She’s said to be a smart, educated, articulate woman — not at all how she’s been portrayed so far in the supermarket tabloids.

Yeah, she’s an unparallelled genius. If she didn’t want to be depicted as a gold-digging sycophant, wouldn’t she have spoken up about it by now? Friedman seems to be the only one who thinks she isn’t. Well, besides her.

By the way, little Frances Quinn Hunter turns 1 year old this month. She can already say “Mama,” “payoff,” and “Don’t touch the hair.”

Pam Anderson Poses With Puppy and Leather in New Ads

pam_vivienne_westwood_09

The ads for Vivienne Westwood’s spring line are out, and boy must PETA be pissed.

As you may remember from a few months ago, Pam Anderson signed a six-figure deal to star in the new marketing campaign — despite the fact that the designer is best known for her genius leatherworking.

So it should come as no surprise that a male model Viv’s husband Andreas Kronthaler is wearing what appears to be a leather tuxedo jacket (so versatile!) in the above ad’s background.

Not to mention the shoot made use of a dog, which is strictly verboten in the PETA gospel. (See also: PETA praising Britney Spears for not using elephants in her upcoming Circus tour.) That Great Dane didn’t sign a contract to be exploited for the sale of designer duds! How dare they objectify that glorious beast! Etc.

But chances are they won’t say a word. Pam and PETA are practically synonymous, and they’re not about to shoot themselves in the tit over a little leather. Right?

(Hat tip to reader Constance!)
