John Edwards admits to affair, but denies the bastard is his
June 19th, 2009 by Scott Marks
After doing his best to moonwalk away from the press, John Edwards has finally admitted to what the National Enquirer has known all along: the former presidential candidate did have an affair. Rielle Hunter says that Edwards is the one, but he swears that Francis Quinn Hunter is not his son…er, daughter.
Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Hunter (while his wife battled cancer) but said that he didn’t love her. Nice guy!

Certain that he isn’t the father, Edwards has yet to take a paternity test. He swears that it couldn’t be him because of the timing of the affair and the birth. This from the same man who told reportes in October 2007 that, “The story is false. it’s completely untrue, ridiculous.”
According to the Associated Press, “Edwards acknowledged the affair on Friday afternoon, traditionally a slow-news period even when the Olympic Games’ opening ceremonies are not preoccupying millions of Americans.”
Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards’ future aspirations in public service, David Bonior, Edwards’ campaign manager for his 2008 presidential bid, said: “You can’t lie in politics and expect to have people’s confidence.”
Since when? It sure worked wonders for Bill Clinton.

Merv Griffin: Sex Addict
May 26th, 2009 by Scott Marks
Frank, Duke, Dr. Baruch S. Blumberg and Merv in a photo definitely not taken at one of Liberace’s all-male orgies.
Recently, EC raked sleazeball biographer Darwin Porter over the coals for outing Paul Newman from the grave. I went from being pissed over his Newman bio to pissing my pants when I read excerpts in The National Enquirer from Merv Griffin: A Life in the Closet.
Brace yourself: Merv had an affair with Sinatra dartboard/Kennedy wannabe Peter Lawford?!?!? If you listen hard enough you can hear Mrs. Miller laughing.
I know what you’re thinking: Why is it wrong to out Newman and hilarious to read a list of Merv’s sexual conquests? Paul Newman lived his life as far out of the spotlight as possible. Merv was an attention grabbing camera whore. Even when it’s someone I hate, part of me feels sorry for celebrity kids and spouses who learn of buried family secrets while the whole world listens in. I’m certain that Merv’s son Tony Griffin knew that his old man was gay. And Newman had the good taste not to hit on that salt-and-pepper putz Peter Lawford.
Everybody knew that Merv was gay! When SCTV staged their satiric assault against Merv’s talk show they basically came right out and said Merv and Liberace had a thing going on. Either the writers at SCTV had an inside source or they were clairvoyant, for according to Porter’s tell-all Merv and Libby were an item. The book alleges “Merv was a regular at the all-male orgies staged by his best friend and lover Liberace in Palm Springs.”
It doesn’t stop there. Merv also dated and baited Rock Hudson, Marlon Brando (serves him right for outing Newman to Porter), Roddy McDowall, Monty Clift, Gordon Scott (TV’s Tarzan) and James Dean. (I want to read a book that lists the names of the actors Dean didn’t sleep with!) One might only imagine Merv bending Dean over a chair while the actor screamed “YOU’RE TEARING ME APART!”
