Pres. Bush -- Ruins Everything He Touches
It was just a matter of time.
The 152-year-old Texas Governor's mansion, where Bush once rested his head, sustained serious damage as a four-alarm fire set the mansion ablaze at 2 AM CST this morning.
100 firefighters fought the blaze -- no one was home at the time of the fire.
UPDATE: Fire investigators say the blaze was intentionally set, but there's no indication it was intended as a direct threat to Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Congressman's Fatal Retraction Hill-acious
If being someone's friend means comparing then to a mentally unstable rabbit killer, then Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen and Hillary Clinton are BFF's.
We grilled Cohen, who compared Hill to Glenn Close's psychotic star turn in "Fatal Attraction." He sees the similarity. That's all we're sayin'.....

Vanity Fair to Gershon: Go Pound Sand
Vanity Fair is standing by its story insinuating that Bill Clinton had an affair with Gina Gershon.
In a statement to TMZ, V.F. honcho Beth Kseniak says, "Todd Purdum's article does not indicate that former President Bill Clinton had an improper relationship with Gina Gershon. The story merely examines the concerns of some of Clinton's aides about reports of his behavior. We don't believe that any correction is warranted."
TMZ obtained a letter fired off by Lavely & Singer, Gershon's pitbull lawyers, demanding a retraction. Ain't gonna happen.
Stay tuned ...

Hillary Pushing Up Daisies
Roses are red, violets are blue, and we've got some proof, that Hill's campaign is through.
We found out Whispering Pines of Chappaqua -- the local flower shop -- has been delivering a bunch of arrangements to the Clinton house -- some for Hil, some for Bill and some for both.
So why do people send flowers? A wedding -- no. Funeral -- sort of. The end of a Presidential campaign -- bingo.
Gershon: I Did Not Have Sexual Relations ...
TMZ has obtained a copy of a demand letter from Gina Gershon to Vanity Fair. Make no mistake - she's pissssed.
Vanity Fair just published a pretty scandalous story about Prez Bill Clinton. The demand letter claims the article "outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely false."
The letter demands "a retraction and correction."
Gershon's lawyers from the bulldog firm Lavely & Singer noted that "Gershon has only been in the same room as President Clinton on three occasions," all with many others present. The lawyers take a shot at Vanity Fair, claiming, "Rumor-mongering was substituted for fact-checking."

Condi Rock & Rolls All Night, Parties Everyday
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice went to a KISS after-party in Stockholm, Sweden on Thursday night and got her groove on with the hard-rockin' band. Is it possible to do a keg stand in a pants suit?
The band invited Condi to hang with them after hearing she was in town. Rice told reporters it was fun meeting the guys and that they seemed really informed about current events. Did they also trade eye liner and lipstick tips?
Condi also says that her favorite KISS song is "Rock and Roll All Night" - a safe answer considering that's pretty much the only KISS song anyone knows.

Obama Slams Vols But Won't Shut Prince's A-Hole
He might not have the bratwurst to take on Prince Von A-hole -- yet -- but when a bunch of Tennessee Republicans take on his wife, Barack Obama goes ballistic and calls them "low class."
On "Good Morning America" today, the Democratic prez candidate took the Tennessee GOP to the mat for slamming his wife over a remark on patriotism she made last February. And yet, even though Prince A-Hole has repeatedly called his wife a "washerwoman" -- like, last week -- he still hasn't come to her defense.
