For two days next week, the ladies of The View are dedicating their entire hour to only one guest. On Monday, Sept. 22, former president Bill Clinton will make his first appearance on the talk show as a part of the show's continuing "Red, White & View" campaign. Clinton will be interviewed by all five of the show's cohosts about the Clinton Global Initiative, which he launched in 2005 to bring global leaders together against the world’s most pressing challenges. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin will be the sole guest.

It's been a good four years or so since JibJab made the now classic Bush-Kerry political parody video, "This Land," and now with the election only months away, the time has come for their latest political spoof, "It's Time for Some Campaigning." As a parody of Bob Dylan’s '60s political anthem, "The Times They Are A-Changin'," the video features Obama, McCain, both Clintons and even a cameo from a banjo-playing Dubya. Barack riding a unicorn through the enchanted forest is genius, but the Clinton cigar scene was priceless as well.

Vanity Fair is under fire yet again. In the upcoming July issue (with Angelina on the cover), an explosive article is featured that insinuates the former POTUS saw "a lot of women" on the road post-White House, including actress Gina Gershon. The 45-year old actress' rep went to town on the author stating that the article was "irresponsible journalism" and is demanding a retraction. Clinton is pretty p.o.'ed as well calling the author "sleazy," "slimy" and "a scumbag."

Rescue Me alum Gina Gershon and her lawyers have gotten wind of a new Vanity Fair article on Bill Clinton, and they are not pleased. In the piece, VF writer Todd S. Purdum suggests that Gershon had sexual relations with the former prez, a tacit claim that she's vehemently denying. Gershon's legal team has thrown down a demand letter insisting on an immediate retraction and a "sincere apology." The document says, in part, that the piece "outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely false." The letter, linked to by the trusty folks at TMZ, goes on to say that Gershon is "extremely offended by the false and defamatory inference" in the article.Gershon has, in fact, met with the president on several occasions — but does that really warrant low-ball insinuation? Assuming the story isn't true, why would VF play with libelous fire? — Anna DimondUse our Online Video Guide to see some of Gershon's ...
