$100 million Gets You a Whole Different Class of Friends: "The original Fergie kept it real -- by holding hands with 50 Cent after the dandy rapper performed on Wednesday at a NY concert for the Sarah Ferguson Foundation. Go shorty, it's your charity!" (TMZ)
"LET'S hope Duran Duran get their act together before next weekend's Concert For Diana. An unsteady Simon Le Bon slurred his way through a show at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on Sunday and completely forgot the words to opening hit Planet Earth. Si... 'This is Planet Earth, Calling Planet Earth, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop...'" (3AMGirls)
"Most members of Al Gore’s inner political circle have not yet signed up with any presidential campaign, triggering speculation that the 2000 Democratic nominee will jump into the race for the White House later this year. But Gore’s ex-aides and advisers say they do not think their former boss will enter the presidential fray. Democratic political experts who played significant roles in Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign, expressed strong skepticism that Gore would challenge Democratic frontrunners Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.). Ex-campaign manager Donna Brazile, former policy director Elaine Kamarck, former media strategist Tad Devine, ex-traveling chief of staff Michael Feldman and former spokesmen Chris Lehane and Jano Cabrera shared their views with The Hill. None of these former advisers are helping a Democratic presidential campaign." (TheHill)
"At the Cooper Union tonight, (John) Edwards, as expected, stressed his return to themes of economic inequality: "There are stil two Americas,' he said. The most interesting response, to me, was to WNYC's Brian Lehrer's question about the effectiveness of Bill Clinton's landmark 1996 welfare reform. The legislation had 'serious flaws,' Edwards said. 'There was not enough effort put into job training' and a failure to provide 'decent and affordable childcare.' 'The infrastructure that was necessary to make this work was not fleshed out the way it needed to be, and on top of that it had very little impact on young African American men,' he said." (Ben Smith on ThePolitico)
