Hillary Stops for Pizza, New Hampshire Just Stops
She may be on the ropes, but Hillary Clinton is still a show-stopper -- actually, a town-stopper. TMZ's Max is in New Hampshire -- and he nailed the biggest story in town.
Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop at the Gala Cafe in Manchester, and her muscle bus caused massive (this is all relative, folks) gridlock on the main drag.

Hillary Now for Change ... Of Clothes
While Iowa didn't warm up to Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, our moles say her frigid fashion choices were probably a culprit in her third place finish!
Sources in Team Hilly tell TMZ there has been an ongoing, internal push to get the possible first female president to wear warmer, more feminine colors. We're told the Senator resisted, favoring more mannish blues and grays to convey seriousness, authority -- and by default, coldness. Didn't she learn to avoid navy blue dresses?!
We're told Hillary is now giving in to her camp's fashionistas and adopting warmer hues of red into her wardrobe. So long Janet Reno, hello Heidi Klum -- in her dreams.
CNN Reporter Gets Bashed
BREAKING POLITICAL NEWS!! Our spies tell us CNN Ken-doll Chief National Correspondent John King will vow to form a more perfect union -- by marrying CNN congressional correspondent, the severely bobbed Dana Bash.
Yup, we're told they're officially engaged. Both King and Bash covered the White House -- Bill and Monica have nothing on them. FishbowlDC broke the story.
Prez Candidates Attract Phony Bar Patrons
John McCain was certainly Mr. Popular when he showed up last month at The Barley House in Concord, New Hampshire. The crowd went nuts -- it seemed everybody knew John's name.
Not so fast. We found out the people inside weren't exactly like Cliff from the post office or Norm, your basic drunk. We're told the patrons weren't surprised at all when McCain arrived, because they were shipped in -- a bunch of McCain supporters who took a cue from the candidate's website to be pretend boozers.
But we're not raggin' on John specifically. We're told lots of other candidates also pull the same stunt. Mike Huckabee will be there on Monday. How do we know? It's plastered all over Huckie's website. We're told the bar will somehow create a Huckaburger during the event -- it's a patty with spinach, tomatoes and an Arkansas fave -- fried pickles. That's how the Huckster maintains his girlish figure.
BTW, Huckabee's bringing Chuck Norris along for the ride. Huck and Chuck. That's what you do when you drink too much!
French Prez & Carla Try Egyptian Dip
Yum! If anyone was wondering what French prez Sarkozy saw in Carla Bruni, perhaps this will help clarify things. And vice versa?
The 52-year-old tete of state took a dip with his model hottie girlfriend at the Red Sea in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. Holy Moses!
Funny, in the 2,537 days George Bush has been in office, we've never seen him and Laura splashing around in Texas -- then again, let's all be in touch with our gratitude in the new year.
The Candidates Eat It!
Campaigning through rubber chicken dinners and crummy buffet breakfasts gets tiresome on the trail. When the candidates get to select their own grub -- what do they like to eat? Apparently, everything from chicken fried venison to Chinese food to meat loaf cakes! Can't choose a candidate? Take a look at their menu!
Chris Dodd -- Head Case
President wannabe Chris Dodd has a mortal fear at barber shops -- and the fear is misplaced.
Scott Sales, owner of Executive Forum Barber Shop in Des Moines, tells TMZ when Dodd got clipped yesterday, he had one stern instruction -- don't make it too short.
Here's the prob. We did some checking with image consultants who told us that short hair is a sign of strength. Long hair shows weakness, hiding! Dude, you're running for prez -- you want to be a Bed Head.
Dodd may be off on length, but not generosity. He tipped $18. That's a 100% gratuity! For a barber, that's what you call a super cut.
SF Mayor -- So Not Gay!
Sorry boys and girls, another super hot guy is off the market in San Francisco -- after Mayor Gavin Newsom left his heart in Hawaii this past weekend, where he proposed to actress Jennifer Seibel.
This will be the mayor's second marriage -- he divorced FOX news vixen (and former lingerie model) Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2006, who hosts "The Lineup," ... and don't forget his 19-year-old lacrosse honey, Brittanie Mountz (that name!). Check out Gav's other gals in this gallery.
Celebrities Love The Dems!
In case you haven't noticed... it's election time. And when it's election time, it's also time for the stars to pull out their checkbooks to make donations to their pet candidates or causes. So just who are the stars that are willing to shell out their hard earned money?
Barbra Streisand donated a total of $34,000 to Democratic candidates, $2000 of that going towards US Senate candidate Amy Klobuchar. Klobuchar is running for an open Senate seat not in California where Babs lives, but in Minnesota. Matt Damon contributed nearly $30,000 to Democratic candidates, and Rosie O'Donnell and Susan Sarandon also gave money to those running on a Democratic ticket. Even Jessica Alba got into the campaign finance game with her $600 donation to Tennessee Senate candidate Harold Ford.
Celebs seem to be backing, for the most part, Democratic candidates. So who is the candidate that has received the most help from Hollywood this election year? You guessed it... the esteemed Senator from New York Hillary Rodham Clinton.
