Harvey Weinstein Threatens to Destroy Democratic Party Unless His Gal Hil Wins
Hollywood strongman Harvey Weinstein is a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, because they share a similar megalomania. Weinstein, who throws a great deal of showbiz money at Democrats and who is known for his Hulk-esque temper, reportedly called up House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month to threaten her unless the Dems handed his gal Hillary the nomination. Weinstein said he'd cut of all money to Dem congressional campaigns unless Pelosi backed the Clinton campaign's unfeasible plan to get the Dems to pay for brand new elections in Florida and Michigan. Weinsein has denied it all. Or at least he denied that it was a "threat." He owns up to calling Pelosi and "offering" "to put together a team of people to help finance a revote in Florida and Michigan." Then he threatened to eat the officials who leaked details of the call. Weinsein's owned up to a bad temper before, once telling Ken Auletta that it's the thing he dislikes most about himself. In fact, Weinstein's temper makes Weinstein so angry he feels like he's going to explode. An Entourage clip exploring this famous bad mood in a comedic style may be found after the jump. More »

Tim Gunn and Larry the Cable Guy Amuse Each Other
Style expert Tim Gunn was on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night and managed to blurt out that he thinks Hillary Clinton is confused about her gender. She appears mannish, he said, in her suits that look like Kevlar. Though he loves how Nancy Pelosi dresses, and therefore encourages her to run for president. Ack, Timmy. This unseemliness is all compounded by the fact that avowed redneck comedian Larry the Cable Guy was sitting next to Tim the whole time. At one point he even chimed in, suggesting that the fashion maven wears a "pin wheel hat and nipple clamps" for fun. Then Tim touched him. Two worlds that should never collide just did. Uncomfortably. Video after the jump. More »

Frankly, We're Also Sick Of The Matronly Box
So yeah, it's pretty "Congressional representatives: They're Just Like Us!" over at the Times today: not only did we find out what happens when state reps stopped being polite and started getting rodent-infested, we also got a peek into the closet of the fashion plate who's shaking up Capitol Hill: new speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Thursgay admires her "easy fashion savvy," but chides her for having a wardrobe that's "overreliant on suits." (Eyeroll.) The article also quotes Republican Congresswoman Mary Bono, who's a big fan of Nancy's style, if not . . . well, anything else about her:I am so sick of the matronly box — the rest of America doesn't dress like that," said Ms. Bono, 45, who, with her Palm Springs address, affection for the martial arts and her marriage to the late Sonny Bono, is decidedly un-Washingtonian. "We all want to be taken seriously and you certainly don't want to be too sexy," added Ms. Bono, a California Republican, "but you have to maintain your femininity. Pelosi is a beautiful dresser. I'm hoping she has great impact — fashion-speaking, not politically speaking."Personally, we hope for the opposite: Pelosi's politics are great, but there's an Extreme Makeover After thing going on there that makes us sort of uncomfortable.
