Not literally; she's still divorcing him. But not because she believes he got frisky with a Portland masseuse:
When Al Gore's "sex poodle" scandal broke, we wondered if anyone had ever used the phrase before. The answer is yes: Victoria Tennant in 1984's All of Me. And yes, it's still weird.
A rep for the Gores claims they aren't attending Chelsea Clinton's wedding; obviously they weren't invited (or are in the middle of a divorce). But: the super-secret location, Astor Courts, has been revealed! Al can crash. [People, NYDN]
Portland police have decided to re-open the investigation into allegations that Al Gore sexually assaulted massage therapist Molly Hagerty. And the Gore camp is now issuing a firm denial.

• In a recent interview, Bristol Palin describes breaking the news about her pregnancy to her mother as being really, really painful. She also has this to say about her role as an advocate for abstinence:
Al Gore's sex scandal is slightly confusing, but thankfully the Taiwanese news service NMA has created this animation explaining how Joey Buttafuoco Gore asked a woman to massage his radioactive loins and roleplay his George W. Bush/Pink sex fantasy. [Videogum]
