Gina Gershon denies sleeping with Bill Clinton.

As you might have heard, in the Vanity Fair article The Comeback Id, journalist Todd Purdum insinuates that former President Bill Clinton had an affair with actress Gina Gershon. As it turns out, Gina Gershon didn't appreciate that. In an email to gossip columinst, Liz Smith, Gershon called Purdum a "sleazy liar." She says:

This makes me sick; this irresponsible journalism! Now it is everywhere, and it's a complete lie. They never bothered fact-checking or calling anyone. I am sure it's no accident that this lie was leaked the day before the delegates would vote. I used to love Vanity Fair magazine; now it's just like those tabloid magazines, only without the good horoscopes!"

However, Vanity Fair denied Gershon's lawyers' demand for a retraction and released the following statement to TMZ today:

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."

Gina Gershon is hot, so for Bill Clinton's sake, I hope this rumor is true. Because it's about time his penis got some good publicity. The chicks it's been in so far look like they should be escaping the circus of being chased by angry villagers. I'm almost positive that when you have sex with Hilary Clinton, the free health clinic gives you a free cyanide capsule.

Vanity Fair to Gina Gershon: We’re not sorry over Bill Clinton story

Vanity Fair refuses to issue any sort of retraction for their Bill Clinton profile that implied the former President has been having an affair with Gina Gershon.

Gershon’s lawyers at L.A. celebrity law firm Lavely and Singer demanded a retraction from the mag, saying that “rumor mongering was substituted for fact-checking. It is apparent that Vanity Fair was intent upon publishing unsubstantiated rumors, and that it avoided learning the true facts so that the truth would not get in the way. Such conduct is reckless and malicious, giving rise to substantial liability for defamation.”

But now the mag is biting back. A Vanity Fair spokeswoman 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.”

It’s on people!
