Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday. In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. “This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.

Former Vice President Al Gore and wife, Tipper, have announced that they are separating after four decades of marriage. In an email sent by the couple to friends, reported by several news organizations Tuesday, they said they had come to “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.” For years, the Gores had publicly portrayed their marriage as strong. A long kiss shared by the pair on stage at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, as Mr. Gore was about to accept his party’s nomination for president, was widely discussed...

Tue Sep 04 2007 09:45:58 ET For the first time Al Gore talks about the effect the press had on him and on the 2000 presidential election, telling Vanity Fair contributing editor Evgenia Peretz that he doesn’t blame the media for his loss and that he accepts responsibility for not being able to communicate more clearly with the public. “Modern politics seems to require and reward some capacities that I don’t think I have in abundance … such as a tolerance for … spin rather than an honest discussion of substance. Apparently, it comes easily for some people, but not...

I don`t have a VCR or a DVD recorder, but AL Gore is coming up next on the MTV awards.. I highly suspect his psychosis will reveal itself and it must be recorded for poster---future bashing. If anyone has a VCR or DVD recorder, please record it!

She's spent five years recovering from the last run at the White House, but Tipper Gore says she's ready if her husband wants to do it again. "If he were going to run in the future, of course I would support him," Tipper Gore told ABCNews' Claire Shipman in her first television interview in four years. "I think he'd be a fantastic president. He already got a majority of votes of people in this country once, and so that says something." Al Gore is back in the political spotlight with his new documentary on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth," and...

The Davidson County Democratic Party is holding the first annual Gore Family Dinner later this month at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel. That’s Gore as in Al and Tipper. The stated purpose for this dinner is to raise money for Democratic candidates in 2006, but it’s also the first time we’ve seen Al Gore politically back in his home state in some time. Even though the Gores maintain a home in Belle Meade, Gore’s new cable channel has kept him on the move. The channel will be geared towards young people and will debut in August. But Gore’s name is...

NewsMax hears from Washington, D.C. sources that former Democratic Vice President Al Gore is considering a run for the presidency in 2008. Washington Democrats are buzzing about the news - not so much that Gore will be feted by Democrats, but the civil war it will likely unleash in the party. For starters, Kerry still says he is keeping open a 2008 bid. But his disastrous showing in 2004 makes it certain he won't win. But Teresa's checkbook means he can wreak havoc in the primaries. The fratricide among Democrats will come from another likely contender. Hillary Rodham Clinton is...

I was in the Dollar Tree (everything in the store sells for $1) a few minutes ago and saw a table with Al Gore's book, published in November 2002, "Joined at the Heart," for sale for $1. The hardback edition. May his TV network be as successful. :-)

<p>While we all try and cope with the postponement of Jennifer Lopez's wedding to Ben Affleck, we can report that at least one other celebrity 'marriage' is still on-the union of lesban lovebirds singer Melissa Etheridge and her gal pal of two years actress Tammy Lynn Michaels.</p>

Restaurant staff are taking unsavoury revenge on celebrities who fail to tip generously. NICK FOULKES reports. A Dubliner who worked as a waiter in New York tells the story of the time Tony Bennett came to eat. The restaurant's manager told a waitress to forget about her other tables and look after the singer's every need. But what about my tips, she complained. I'm sure Mr Bennett will look after you, the manager reassured her. One meal and lots of attentive service later, the singer put down his tip. It fell short of the waitress's expectations. As the waiter was...

"I was trying to think of a way that we could kind of laugh about this since obviously it was out of our control, there wasn't anything anybody could do, so I got all the boom boxes in the house and – I remember sort of what the government did with Noriega – I thought we'd try that, and I aimed them at (the crowd) ... and I put nature sounds on and turned it all the way up. And at least the kids laughed." – Tipper Gore recalls the aftermath of the contested 2000 election, when busloads of people...

Here's a book both uninteresting and repulsive. On the one hand, it is a quasi-scholarly look at kissing and how it has changed substantially in the last half century. It's also uncomfortably personal, filled with Gore stories, which are explicit and stomach churning. "For us, as for most Americans," write the former vice-president and his wife, "kissing is our bedrock. We kiss everywhere and in every situation." Like at the recent memorial service for Senator Paul Wellstone, when the sight of Tipper dressed in black (and appearing 50 pounds lighter than she really is) was more than Al could handle....

It's Week 2 of Al and Tipper Gore's book campaign juggernaut. The ex-veep and his wife -- who pocketed a rumored seven-figure advance from Henry Holt and Co. -- have been welcomed by countless media outlets willing to help them hawk "Joined at the Heart," an anecdotal study of the American family, and "The Spirit of Family," a companion coffee-table photo collection. But while the authors are getting star billing wherever they go -- including Al's scheduled guest shot on tomorrow's "Tonight Show With Jay Leno" -- their books aren't selling up to expectations, publishing sources told us yesterday. "They've...

John just said a station employee's wife just called in from the Issaquah Costco asking if her husband wanted an autographed Algore book. She said The tree and Tipper are sitting there and there are only a couple people there to buy books. Bwahahahahah. I thought this was a "best seller." They have another signing tonight at Elliott Bay Books in Seattle. That should draw a little better among Seattle's Lefties.

Batten down the hatches, the Gores (buy one, get one free) are on what the Washington Post describes as one of the most elaborate book tours in recent publishing history. An overstatement to be sure: just eight towns, count ‘em, constitute their “elaborate” book peddling efforts as they try to hawk their new tome “Joined at the Heart” (not as many Freepers would have thought should have been called "Joined at the Lips" after their vulgar display of a year or so ago.)According to one Amazon review, the book chronicles every bizarre and unconventional lifestyle known to man, including the...
