As much as I like Julianne Moore as an actress, I had a tough time picturing her as Hillary Clinton in the HBO Films/BBC Films movie The Special Relationship (is it sad that whenever I see that title I think of Hugh Grant, as Prime Minister, saying that to sleazy US President played by Billy Bob Thornton in Love Actually?). Now, due to a scheduling conflict, Moore has pulled out of the project and Hope Davis has taken her place.
This makes much more sense to me, as Davis resembles Clinton a bit more, and I think she is such a versatile, engaging actress, and she deserves more roles and more recognition.

Elizabeth Edwards has hit the talk show circuit to promote her new book Resilience and to explain why she didn't leave her unfaithful husband John. On the Today Show this morning, she said of her husband's infidelity: "He made this one mistake."
Elizabeth isn't the only wife to stick by her cheating politician after he made her suffer public embarrassment.

Just days after President Obama made us feel guilty over not reading enough, we learn Hillary Clinton hasn't read a book since becoming secretary of state. She hasn't even watched a movie! But that's not hard when, unlike Obama, she doesn't have a home theater.

It's hard enough being in a relationship, but imagine having every facet of it scrutinized by the media and the unwashed masses.
For as long as Bill and Hillary Clinton have been in the public eye, questions have centered on how stable (or authentic) their marriage is. Did Hillary sacrifice her political ambitions early on for Bill?

OK.

With all the Obamamania going on, it's easy to forget that Hillary Clinton is the US Secretary of State. Yesterday, she was welcomed by Haitian President Rene Preval to the presidential palace in Port-au-Prince. Her visit highlights Washington's support — symbolically and monetarily — for the poor and politically fragile nation.

Hillary may never answer the 3 a.m. call she was so ready to take, but a whole other genre of late-night calls was made last night. Journalists got a sex line when the White House accidentally gave out a wrong number to a conference call with the secretary of state.

Remember the days when Hillary Clinton was "too divisive" to beat a Republican ticket for the White House?
Well it looks like her gig as secretary of state has given her a popularity boost. Her latest favorability rating comes in at 71 percent, besting Barack Obama's 64 percent approval rating.
