Insiders say a certain social hypothermia has developed between supermodel Christie Brinkley and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. (They deny it and proclaim deep mutual affection.) The scoop is that a year ago, Clinton agreed to speak at a benefit for Brinkley's charity, the Star
Hilly is chilly because she was stiffed out of campaign cash? Nahhhhhh, couldn't be!
I was in tears after reading it. For the week coming up, I think I'll stock up on Kleenex.
That special tonight, DC 9/11 is also on at 11:00pm.
Peter Paul - whose dealings with Bill and Hillary Clinton sparked an ongoing federal investigation into the former first couple's fund raising - has been wanted in New York to answer stock-manipulation charges since June 2001. In the past, he has fought extradition while negotiating with U.S. investigators, but that all changed recently when Brazilian authorities put him in the dreaded "Corridor of Death."
Paul was put in the notorious Block F of Brazil's maximum-security state penitentiary in Brasilia. The nation's most vicious criminals are housed in Block F, where a favorite pastime among inmates is to burn their fellow prisoners alive in their cells.
The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which represents Paul, reports that 16 inmates have met their ends by immolation there in the last year alone.
"It's extremely dangerous for him there," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tells PAGE SIX's Ian Spiegelman. "He's already been threatened."
Fitton says there's an ongoing war between various prison factions and that "Americans aren't very popular" with any of them. As far as the inmates of Block F are concerned, "Getting an American would be a coup."
Paul has claimed that he can prove Sen. Clinton accepted at least $2 million in campaign contributions from him in 2000 but reported only $500,000 of it.
It's a mystery why Paul remained in a Brazil jail even after that country's Supreme Court decided he should be extradited last December. After that, Fitton says he continually pressured officials at the U.S. Embassy to fetch Paul, but they told him they needed "official" notice from the Brazilian foreign minister before they could do so.
Oddly, just days after that official notice was sent, Paul was transferred to the Corridor of Death on Aug. 20 while U.S. authorities continued to show no interest in following through with the extradition.
After several complaints from Fitton, the feds finally decided on Friday that Paul would be returned to the United States on Sept. 12, if he's lucky.
Sen. Clinton's rep declined comment. Link

Because of thier horrible treatment after speaking their minds (oooh boo boo) Dixie Chicks and MTV have temed up with Rock the Vote. A devious little plan to regigster 1000's of ignorant teenagers and 20 somthings.
*************************************
There was a time when voting was cool. A time when a presidential candidate stumped for support by playing his sax; when MTV, Madonna and R.E.M. were adding to the political discourse and candidates were addressing the concerns of young adults.
A time - a decade ago now - when Rock the Vote, a nonpartisan organization that registers young people to vote, was creating a buzz. Now its leaders say it's their time again, and as the 2004 election nears, they are making plans to elbow back onto the political and pop cultural stage.
Rock the Vote is an organization that is strongly for free expression," Riemer said. The Dixie Chicks, who recently gave $100,000 to the organization for a voter registration Web site, will help spread the group's message online and in TV and radio announcements.
Supplementing the Dixie Chicks campaign is a massive Internet-based voter registration program that debuted last month. The application was designed with graphics and Internet accessibility to appeal to young people.
"The application can take you all the way through the process," Riemer said. Users simply "print it, sign it, lick it and mail it."
[The chicks had better pledge to drive each one of the MTVers to the polls, just a guess, but it's highly doubtful that MTVers will go to the poll without being dragged there.] [Exculding the rabid libs who were brain washed by thier lib parents.] More
