Gina Gershon
Gina Gershon broke her silence and spoke out about the Vanity Fair article that linked her to Bill Clinton. Promoting her Broadway play "Boeing Boeing," Gershon appeared on Monday's "Live with Regis and Kelly." With Mario Lopez in for Regis, Gershon told the hosts her side of the story.

"It is such a crazy, outrageous lie that has nothing to do with me... Journalists, it's so scary, because they get these rumors, hearsay, put it in the story, and it goes around the world in a minute... Vanity Fair never even did fact checking.... These irresponsible journalists - they're not accountable for anything."


Watch the whole clip:




Through her lawyers, Gershon asked Vanity Fair for a retraction and correction last week, a request Vanity Fair denied.

Let's see... Pentagon orders destruction of Gitmo documents, more G.I.s dead in Iraq, Graham declares McSame will continue Bush policies, Midwest storms kill eight, gas at $4.22...

Ooh, ooh, looky over HERE! Another bimbo-invention for all the fourth-graders!

Dig in, kiddies.

Mary Matalin (Mrs. James Carville) was on a local talk radio show and says that she and James were at the same party, it was a wedding party, and that nothing whatsoever went on.

If Gina wants the matter to drop, she will have to defend herself, because people no longer believe BC's denials when it comes to anything female.

I can't blame her for trying. Wouldn't Clinton's secret service men be able to confirm (or not) her account?

I am not sure if Gina is really complaining about the VF article or just seizing the moment to gain fame out of it. I mean ok she denied it and did the letter thing, the lawyers thing with VF and all that, but now it seems she's just wants to keep the story alive and is out on a media self-promotion tour, and I guess it works. I for once didn't know who she was until this story broke.

What are you talking about? This is the first time shes' spoke out about it publicly. I don't' know if it's true or not. Don't really care anyway. But ah screw it... And even if that's what she's attempting to do. She wouldn't be the first to take such an avenue before.

What does any of this matter? It's a lot of wasted blogspace.

It matters because the methods of the Star and National Enquirer, where nameless "close friends" and gossip are substituted for on-the-record reporting and criticism. I'm no fan of Hillary's but it saddens me to see such gossip passed on as reportage and a fine actress slimed because it's hard for famous people to sue over slander.

Funny that you compare a Vanity Fair article with the Star and National Enquirer. I don't think anymore needs to be said about it.

For all you people who say she protests too much, what's a person supposed to do if it really isn't true? While I'm sure Clinton's aides did become alarmed by the posse he's running with and maybe even spoke to him, it's horseshit for a journalist to merely repeat gossip and name this actress. So that's the standard now? People were saying this, so I'm just repeating what they are whispering? Wow, we've come a long way from the Deep Throat days when every fact had to have at least two verified on the record named sources before it was printed. Even Deep Throat's tips were verified by outside sources.

What’s the big deal about the Vanity fair article stating “…or at more recent high-end Hollywood dinner-party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon in California.”? I can see why Vanity Fair refuses to retract.

Gina looks so all-American girlish in the interview video.

I liked her better in the movie “Bound” where she plays a really hot looking hard-boiled bisexual who seduces a mobster mistress played by Jennifer Tilly. Gina and Jennifer get it on in an orgasmic convulsion sex scene.

The movie database imdb.com refers to a news source that describes how Gina had to work out preparing for the movie:

Sexy actress Gina Gershon used a gym owned by folk legend Bob Dylan to get into shape for her role as a bisexual thief in the film Bound (1996) - and was amazed to find that her sparring partner was folk legend Bob Dylan. Dylan owns a gym that is patronized by some of the biggest names in Hollywood. She says, "It turned out he could seriously kick ass. He's got a lot of stamina. "I showed up at the training session, and I just kept thinking to myself, 'Wow, I can't hit Bob Dylan, he's going on tour soon.'" She adds, "Then he hit me in the face so I smashed him really hard. He was a good sport about it though."

She is telling the truth, I am sure. But why her among all the women out there?

Gina Gershon is incredble. I would like to see her make another movie. She is one of the sexiest women in Hollywood.

If I were Bill my quote: "Yes I did have sex with Gershon, and I will again. I had her howlin like a coyote on mescaline and I doubt any of you could do that. Any questions? Thank You."

LOL...so Bill is out tomcattin'...is this a shocker? Guys don't suddenly go on the wagon from getting some tail, and since we know Bill was a champion lech, it stands to reason he hasn't given it up...I don't fault him, and America certainly didn't during the Monica crap...so people, move along...sounds as if some people are a little too voyeuristic for their own good, get resentful when they see others having some fun...if Hillary cares, she will dump him...that's the only person any of this, if true, would matter to...not to some lamebrain Todd Purdum or any sad Clinton hater...MOVE ON!
