Whether Kamala Harris's anecdote is completely made up, seriously exaggerated, or stolen from MLK, this unfortunate snag illustrates she is the perfect right-hand woman to Joe Biden, who has a track record of inventing tales and plagiarizing.“Fweedom.” It’s something Kamala Harris has been wanting since she was in diapers, according to an account of the vice president-elect’s early childhood that should probably be filed under fiction — or maybe plagiarism.The story of Harris, ostensibly plucked from her childhood memories, opens a glowing interview profile that was Elle magazine’s November 2020 cover story. The anecdote, however, reeks of convenient dishonesty and...

Stacey Abrams is not a serious politician. Her influence is built on the sole foundation of media adoration inflated by glowing profiles but ignored by the Biden campaign during the presidential veepstakes. Failed 2018 Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams thought she might be on the ticket this week. Given her weeks of public campaigning in the run-up to the vice presidential selection process, her allies in the media seem to have agreed.Breaking with longstanding tradition, Abrams openly sought out the number two spot after narrowly losing her bid for the Georgia governor’s mansion just two years earlier. Ever since...

Stacey Abrams, a former Georgia State House leader, is aggressively marketing herself as a potential vice president for Joe Biden — increasingly irritating those in the former veep’s orbit, an insider said. Meanwhile, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has her sights set on something else — secretary of defense, say those familiar with her plans. “If they go with a black woman, it would be Kamala Harris, but she’s a clunky communicator and couldn’t generate any excitement for her own campaign with black or white voters,” the Biden insider said.” While campaigning for vice president traditionally requires a delicate dance of private...

Anderson Cooper abruptly cut to commercial during an interview with columnist E. Jean Carroll after she claimed most people find rape "sexy." "I think most people think of rape as being sexy," Carroll said in an interview Monday with CNN's Anderson Cooper, during a discussion of her rape allegation against President Trump. "They think of the fantasies." Cooper quickly cut in and said they would take a quick break. "You're fascinating to talk to," Carroll quipped.

E. Jean Carroll, a New York-based writer who has accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her more than two decades ago, voiced frustration Monday that Trump has not faced consequences from a string of previous allegations of misconduct. "With all the women it's the same: He denies it, he turns it around, he attacks and he threatens - and then everybody forgets it until the next woman comes along," Carroll said during an interview on CNN. "I am sick of it. I am sick of it." Carroll, a longtime advice columnist for Elle magazine, is among 16 women who...

I was standing in the checkout line yesterday at my local supermarket when I saw a very nude, very pregnant Jessica Simpson staring at me from the cover of the April issue of Elle magazine. She should be ashamed of herself. The 31-year-old songstress, actress and fashion designer is celebrating her impending motherhood for the whole world to see. But it is no cause for celebration when a baby is born out of wedlock – even to a rich and famous mom like Simpson. That’s not to suggest that Simpson should be punished with an Old Testament stoning (or be...

Fabulously wealthy Teresa Heinz, wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, dishes an earful to writer Lisa DePaulo in the upcoming issue of Elle magazine -- such as her ambivalence about taking her second husband's surname and her requirement of a prenuptial agreement with the 59-year-old Massachusetts senator, whom she wed in 1995. "Now, politically, it's going to be Teresa Heinz Kerry, but I don't give a [bleep], you know?" explains the 64-year-old Heinz, who generally uses the surname of the late senator John Heinz (R-Pa.), who was killed in a 1991 plane crash. "There are other things to worry...
