It's difficult to think of 12 minutes that simultaneously give you a great appreciation for the craft of acting and also make you want to throttle someone. And yet that is exactly what this mashup of Sarah Palin's actual behavior and Julianne Moore's portrayal of it in Game Change accomplishes. The accuracy with…

If you tuned into Game Change this weekend because you have enough money to afford a subscription to HBO and you don't mind reliving the terrifying acid trip that was Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin's rise to national prominence, you're probably wondering how many dramatic embellishments the movie used to jazz-up the…

Are you going to watch HBO's Sarah Palin extravaganza Game Change tonight at 9pm, or are you going to be busy living your life? Sarah Palin is certainly opting for the latter since she's made no secret of the fact that she thinks very little of being the subject of a feature-length film, something women such as Clara…

In the Palin family, it is the best of times, it is the worst of times. It is a time of joyful preparation for Bristol's impending reality show on Lifetime, it is a frenzied scramble to debunk the lies of an impending movie about how Sarah ruined John McCain's 2008 Presidential campaign on HBO. So what has the…

After John McCain made the fateful decision to select then-Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate in the 2008 Presidential race, it was quickly clear that while she was a camera-friendly sound byte machine, she wasn't excellent at knowledge. Among her many gaffes? Belief that the Queen of England served as…

He's no stranger to getting his wang out on stage – as evidenced by everyone and their pervy dog trying to get pictures of it when he was in Equus – and now Daniel Radcliffe's letting it out for a breather on the big screen for his role in Kill Your Darlings. Doing press rounds for the film, he spoke about his…

Here's the first look at HBO's Game Change, the TV movie based on the book of the same name, which comes out in March. Julianne Moore does a pretty good Sarah Palin impersonation (it's got to be hard to follow in Tina Fey's footsteps) and it's nice to finally see McCain's decision to unleash Palin on America set to…

We are oddly excited by the prospect of HBO's Game Change — a dramatization of the 2008 John McCain presidential campaign — if only because, unlike Recount, the network's other foray into recent politics, this one will have a happy ending. Also: What a cast! Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin! Woody Harrelson as McCain…

While Obama, Clinton and McCain remain uncast for HBO's adaptation of Game Change, we know the identity of one faux-itician: Julianne Moore will don the Bump-It and take on America's most notorious Mama Grizzly.

This morning on Today Elizabeth Edwards talked candidly about her reaction to Rielle Hunter's Oprah interview — and what she now thinks of the "marvelous man" she married.

According to such unimpeachable sources as People, Perez Hilton and The View, Elizabeth Edwards is leaving her husband John - now that the rest of the world knows he likes the Dave Matthews Band (and other shameful revelations):

"I am Quinn's father," Mr. Edwards said bluntly in a statement released to the news media yesterday. But considering what other politicians have been up to, this "scandal" is a snoozefest.

Writes Judith Warner in today's New York Times, "Her story made them believe something good about themselves. It was a kind of Everywoman's fable: behind the imperfect physical shell, a gem of inner beauty resides. And is loved and recognized."

Since the world learned that Elizabeth Edwards is, in fact, not a saint but a monster, the internet fur has been flying. And the Daily Beast has yet another narrative for us:

"Harry Reid Racist" is the seventh most searched term on Google, thanks to a new book called Game Change. John Heilemann and Mark Halperin's gossipy, behind the scenes look at the 2008 campaign is creating some political fallout.
