If you recently heard a friend or co-worker inexplicably shouting, "I HOPE YOU GET ASS CANCER," he or she was probably just reading that John Edwards has proposed his mistress Rielle Hunter. Now, some may say that Elizabeth Edwards, who died last month from cancer, is "barely cold," as the saying goes, but you know what's colder? John Edwards's rotten heart. His marriage to Elizabeth ended, you'll recall, in the wake of news that he had an affair and fathered a child with Hunter. News of the marriage proposal is being reported by the National Enquirer today, so take it with a grain of salt, but the tabloid has led the pack on the Edwards adultery scandal since the beginning. more ›

Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, died today at 61 in her Chapel Hill, NC home.

Edwards' cancer had recently metastasized to her liver.

Rielle Hunter, John Edwards's baby momma, onetime lover and sex tape co-star, says a GQ photographer told her he'd capture her mostly from the neck up, but that doesn't explain why she wasn't wearing pants.

Hunter claims she "cried for two hours" upon seeing the pictures, but GQ says she's faking. "Rielle is a smart woman," said her interviewer. "She knows what she wore and what she was doing in the photo shoot." more ›

Apparently it's "John Edwards-Rielle Hunter" Day. Besides Hunter's extensive interview with GQ, there's more dirt to spill on the one-time presidential contender. The Daily Beast's Diane Dimond writes the blog "can now describe the video in detail, based on accounts from multiple people who have viewed it." And what's more, "based on the swollen state of [Hunter's] belly and nipples," the tape appears to have been filmed in October 2007, "smack in the middle of Edwards campaign for the presidency." Here's the description—warning, it's pretty detailed: more ›

There's nothing like an exclusive interview from a former presidential candidate's baby mama!
