Barbara Bush recently made the move to Greenwich Village from her tv-less 5th floor walkup, and now sister Jenna is following her lead. Move over Kardashian sisters! According to the NY Post, Jenna Bush (occasional Today show correspondent) and her husband have put their Baltimore rowhouse on the market for $475K, and are looking for new digs in the big city... at least Jenna is. The Washington Post reports that her husband Harry Hager will continue working at the Baltimore-based Constellation Energy. Will the two sisters party like the old days, and will someone please give them a reality show? more ›

Barbara Bush, spawn of George W., can't watch her twin sis Jenna as a Today show correspondent because she's living without a television set. What's the number to the red phone! She told People, "I live alone, so I'm trying to force myself to get out and do other things." And when her sister's in town, she lives it up at her hotel; Jenna says, "She'll pack a bag and come stay with me. We're in the room, and I'll be, 'Can't we read?' And she's like, 'Nope. Is there a Law & Order on?'" And then they're all, yay television? The 28-year-old Barbara co-founded Global Health Corps in 2008, and is currently working at the non-profit and living (in a 5th floor walk-up, no less) in NYC. more ›

Yet another example of foot-in-mouth syndrome due to the hours of punditry on TV, followed by an apology and suspension! Yesterday, while referring to Chelsea Clinton's campaigning on behalf of her mother, MSNBC correspondent David Shuster commented, "Doesn't it seem as if Chelsea is sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?" Yes, he totally said that. Or, as the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz writes, "Using a prostitution metaphor for the daughter of a presidential candidate is a surefire way for a journalist to get into trouble." more ›

It's some Daily News gossip gold on this quiet Thanksgiving weekend: Fabian Basabe, who you may or may not know from such incidents as suing Bungalow 8, getting thrown out of a Hamptons club and calling the doorman "Negro," dirty-dancing with Barbara Bush and being seen about town (we needed to check the Jossip index on him to familiarize ourselves), was "arrested for drunken driving, driving without a license, and running a red light" on Wednesday night, according to the Daily News exclusive. more ›

Jodi Wilgoren's NY Times article notes they were underdressed (casual chic - not Talbots conservative) and that quoting Outkast would "fill any coolness gap their father might face with the MTV set." Insert a Nelson Muntz HA-ha here. Vanessa Grigoriadis had a great feature about the Bush girls in New York; basically, they seem like your average 21 year-olds.

President Bush showed yesterday, while visiting his parents at Kennebunkport, that one should not board a Segway while holding a tennis racket. Of course, that is the kind of thing our President is known for, so Gothamist shouldn't be surprised. We suppose at this point, instead of warding off imminent danger, Secret Service men are taking bets to see when the President will clumsy himself into the next black eye. [Via callalillie] more ›
