Stevie Wonder -- Politically Tourette
We didn't ask him anything about the election, but it was clear to see Stevie only had one guy on his mind.

Heidi Montag: McCain's New Running Mate
The shiny and slimy Heidi Montag helped sink John McCain's campaign yesterday -- by hanging with his 23-year-old blogger/aspiring fashion designer daughter Meghan.
Even with Heidi's "Hills" payday and Meg's massive beer fortune, the two hit up the paps for the $5.50 valet charge. Not very Republican.

Barack Gives Hillary the Kiss-Off
The race is over, but Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are still close.
Barack went in for the kill at a Women for Obama fundraiser in NYC on Thursday.
He'll really do what Bill couldn't!

Obama: Just For Men?
So the Internet's buzzing with a report that Barack Obama, 46, has been graying -- and quick -- since he became a Senator. 
But check out this snap from a TV interview in 2002, when he was still a State Senator in Illinois. Looks like he could've used the Grecian formula even then.
His barber tells Politico he's never dyed the candidate's hair -- and won't have to for a while. Not exactly a black and white issue, it seems.

Bush and the Beaver
With 202 days left in office, President Bush showed off his best "O face" yesterday at the White House where he hosted "Tee Ball on the South Lawn" with Little League mascot Dugout.
Honorary Commissioner Roberto Clemente, Jr. (center) was also there. Although his name isn't dirty, he was completely shaved.

Obama Vandal -- One Dumb Cracker
Democratic candidates for Prez should just steer clear of Florida.
Anti-Barack Obama vandals spray-painted 60 vehicles last night at Orlando's city hall -- with enlightening comments like "Oboma [sic] smoke crack" and racial slurs.
The weirdest part? Business cards left at the scene apparently belonged to supporters of Hillary Clinton.
UPDATE: Hillary's camp just sent us this statement: "There's no tolerance for this kind of activity in the political process. Hillary Clinton strongly supports Barack Obama and urges all of her supporters to do the same."
We're waiting on a comment from Barack's people.

Obama Goes on Gun Control
Barack Obama is gearing up for the fight of his life -- by hitting the gym!
The candidate for change was spotted at a DC sports club on Friday morning in a baseball cap, t-shirt and running pants, working his triceps and hoisting 65 lb dumbbells, according to the National Journal. Barack also got his cardio on while reading the paper and listening to his iPod on the treadmill. Arnold ain't the only bodybuilder in the political ring!
As if the three-car motorcade and Secret Service agents didn't give his identity away, Barack had to be looked up in the gym's system because he forgot his membership card.
Running for President ain't what it used to be!

McCain: You Had Me At Hello!
Who knew John McCain liked the sound of his own voice so much?
McCain's campaign arranged a phone call on Friday with reporters and the leaders of B'nai B'rith International, a major Jewish group. One problem, McCain's cell reception was so bad they lost the call after his first sentence.
Unfortunately, no one told McCain. Eighteen minutes passed says the LA Times, when McCain finally was put back on the line. A clueless McCain was told, "You gave your whole speech and you didn't know you weren't connected to us." He apologized and did it again.
Too bad there's no stimulus refund on time.

Obama to Scarlett -- It's Not Me, It's You
Scarlett Johanssen loves Barack Obama -- like, moony and gushy loves Obama. But -- like her singing talent -- it's all in her head, apparently.
Johansson has been telling anyone who would listen that she has a furious email and phone relationship with the Democratic nominee and even that she's "engaged" to him. (That's probably news to Ryan Reynolds.) But as the National Review reports, Barack just revealed that he's only gotten one email Scarlett -- and it came through his assistant.
"I write saying, 'thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship," said Obama.

Oprah Stops London Traffic For Barack
So our papper sees this black car with tinted windows in London yesterday and figures, it's the queen. He was right!
He baited Oprah into rolling down the nice piece of glass, by questioning her support of Obama. Fact is, her big endorsement did little for him and actually hurt her ratings. But she said she'd go door-to-door for Barack. Oprah calling!
BTW -- Yes, that's Gayle King in the car with her. She's like Sam Ronson, without those adorable flannel shirts.

Al Gore: 2 Legit 2 Quit
Al Gore has gone from hanging chads to hanging with the homeboys.
TheDirty.com got this pic of the former almost-President posing with a few fans last week.
Everyone really does care about the environment.

Bill Clinton: Hands-On Experience
President Bill Clinton is always giving a helping hand to his fellow man -- or woman, as the case may be.
While leaving a $200 - $500 a tix speaking engagement in Canada on Friday, the Edmonton Sun caught Slick Willie holding an unidentified younger woman's hand. Paging Gina Gershon!

Dixie Chick Won't Beat Around the Bush
If there's one thing Natalie Maines is good for -- other than playing a mean six-string -- it's bashing President Bush every chance she gets.

Hillary Clinton Booked in Colorado
... well, overbooked is more like it.
Sources tell TMZ that Team Hillary had reserved hundreds of Denver hotel rooms for staffers and supporters during the Democratic National Convention in August -- rooms they really won't be needing anymore!
Now, we're told the campaign has sent emails to politicos, charity organizers and supporters who might be looking for a place to stay for the big bash!
Calls to Hillary's camp have not yet been returned.
UPDATE: Hillary's peeps say this is "incorrect" and the campaign "plans to use its entire block of rooms."

Overgrown Bush Needs a Trim
With 216 days left in office, George Bush has finally gone green. 
Dubya got a parting gift from a group of schoolchildren in Northern Ireland on Monday -- a flowery plant with the words The Mighty Bush written across it.
Is there anyone who doesn't want to give Bush something?!
