A judge has delayed John Edwards's criminal corruption trial until at least March 26 because Edwards has a heart condition. It's not clear what the condition is, and for those of you inclined to believe that it's just a ploy so Edwards can buy time, the AP is reporting that "Edwards walked into the courtroom in Greensboro without assistance and appeared healthy." The less skeptical may be gratified to know that Edwards's doctor says the problem will require surgery very soon. More »

Hey guys, John Edwards has a great idea! How about we just forget all about that pesky federal case, which alleges he used nearly $1 million in campaign contributions to support his pregnant mistress.

A close friend of Bunny Mellon, the 100-year-old heiress who funded John Edwards' mistress coverup, says of Mellon's motive, "I think her view is that he's a cute guy and he's allowed to fool around if he likes.

Okay, perhaps Edwards just wanted to avoid the dazed and teary-eyed look most celebrities opt for in their mug shots. That doesn't make these photos, which were taken earlier this month after Edwards was indicted on conspiracy and campaign finance violations, less unnerving. More »

All over the Internet, men are photographing their own bodies and sending the shots to women who are maybe not their wives and girlfriends. It's a risk for most any non-professional, but it's one that predictably costs male politicians like Anthony Weiner — and the men before him — so much more. So why do they do it? More »

John Edwards' hopes for a plea deal have collapsed over prosecutors' insistence that he serve time in jail; Edwards apparently said that as the primary caregiver to two of his younger children (ages 10 and 12), that was a deal breaker. It's looking like he'll stand trial. But does the Justice Department have a case? More »

She will apparently discuss her relationship with Edwards but not the resultant coverup. No word on whether she will provide more of her patented "allow a man to be a man" dating advice. More »
