After a star-studded gala in February 2014, Bill Clinton and his entourage headed to a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles for an intimate dinner with friends. Their destination was Crossroads Kitchen, a Melrose Avenue hotspot that counts Beyoncé, Christina Applegate and Katy Perry as fans, and features a menu with artichoke “oysters,” hearts of palm “crab cakes” and tagliatelle “bolognese.” That night, the restaurant was bustling. One insider spotted producer Jerry Bruckheimer and actor Bruce Willis, while TMZ recorded actor Sean Penn gliding through the front door.

Since Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest on charges of helping Jeffrey Epstein abuse underage girls, rumors have swirled about her ties to famous figures including Democratic power couple Bill and Hillary Clinton. On Tuesday, the Daily Mail published photos of former President Clinton receiving a neck massage from Chauntae Davies, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, during a stopover on his infamous 2002 trip to Africa with the deceased sex-trafficker.

Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention left Stephen Colbert speechless. He had a lot more to say about Bill Clinton’s. In his second live Late Show of the week, Colbert broke down the biggest moments from night two of the DNC, or as he called it, “one of the most electrifying infomercials of the year.” Noting that the theme for the second night was “Leadership Matters,” he joked that the Republicans had already decided to rename night two of their convention, “All Qualities Matter.” The host’s sharpest commentary, however, came in response to the address delivered by former President […]

Like a lot of millennials whose politics align much more closely with Democrats than Republicans, I used to admire Bill Clinton.

In newly unsealed documents, one of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most prominent accusers claims the perverted duo forced her to have sex with Britain’s Prince Andrew and other “politically-connected and financially-powerful people” when she was underage. Late on Thursday night, a judge ordered the release of a tranche of documents in a long-running defamation case between Maxwell and Virginia Roberts Giuffre, previously “Jane Doe No. 3,” who appeared as a 17-year-old in the now-infamous picture with Prince Andrew as he grabbed her waist and Maxwell grinned in the background. (In the court docs, Giuffre reveals she gave the photograph to […]
