Rielle Hunter, former Senator John Edwards‘ alleged fiancee (she denies it) and notorious home/career/reputation/probably-didn’t-help-his-credit-either-wrecker, recently let GQ into her home to show off her entourage above and discuss the drama that made her (in)famous.

Everyone talks about how Johnny has fallen from grace. In reality, he’s fallen to grace. He is integrated. He is living a life of truth. He has grown in awareness and humility. He had all these things within him, but they weren’t the guiding, leading principles of his life. Now they are…

The break in the marriage happens before the infidelity. And that break happened, you know, two and a half decades before I got there. So the home was wrecked already. I was not the Home Wrecker.

Sadly, Not The Home Wrecker is also not happy with all the rope GQ gave her to hang herself with. Barbara Walters told her pals on The View that Hunter “cried for two hours” after seeing how her half-naked Kermie time came off from the photo shoot. So why did she take the “repulsive” photos? According to Babs, Rielle just “went with the flow.” Maybe she should stop doing that.

Plus he’s buying $3.5 million home for them to live.

Rielle Hunter continues taking a big gamble, as it’s just hit the press that former presidential candidate and high-profile philanderer John Edwards has asked his longtime mistress Rielle Hunter to marry him just two weeks after his separation from his wife was announced.

If the Democrats in our country weren’t having a bad enough week already, John Edwards is going to make it that much worse right now. Edwards is finally coming clean and admitting that he fathered Rielle Hunter’s baby while campaigning in 2007. Also in 2007? Edwards’ wife Elizabeth’s second bout with breast cancer and their decision to renew their wedding vows on their 30th anniversary. Way to make it a banner year, John.

In a statement released today, Edwards came clean about the child who is now 2 years old:

“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace. It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future. To all those I have disappointed and hurt these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”

Elizabeth Edwards and others close to the former presidential candidate have known since last summer about the paternity, but this is the first public admission of it. This week is starting to feel like Bizarro world what with Cindy McCain protesting Prop 8 in California, Massachusetts electing a Republican senator, and now a formerly admirable politician admitting he’s just as sketchy as the next pro-golfer. It’s too bad late night comedian’s are so busy skewering each other, they could have a field day with this. [Photo: Getty Images]

White House crasher Michaele Salahi is apparently a repeat offender. According to a source, she once tried to fake being an NFL cheerleader. Jen Sibley, a former cheerleader who worked with the blonde poser at Nordstroms in McClean, VA from 1989 to 1994, says she was shocked to see Michaele at a 2005 Redskins Cheerleader Alumni reunion. The source says she had no idea that Michaele, who worked at the makeup counter and was always “dressed in Chanel suits,” had been a cheerleader.

But the reunion wasn’t the first time Michaele posed as a cheerleader. She actually tried to fake it in 1994 at a Nordstrom employee store event. “One day we had an early morning pep rally before the Nordstrom anniversary sale, and Michaele requested to borrow my pom poms. I was very nervous about this as NFL cheerleaders have strict rules not to lend their uniforms to anyone under any circumstances. As all of our outfits were one-of-a-kind originals, and not anyone could borrow them - if they did we could get cut from the team. I figured they were just pom poms, so it should be ok,” Sibley exclusively tells The FABlife.

Michaele then showed up to the performance, and although she looked the part with her borrowed pom poms, she could not fake her way through the dance routine. “She could not dance at all,” Sibley laughs. “It became apparent she was trying to fake her way into looking like a cheerleader, in order to position herself as a social gem in society.” Our source confirms what many suspect, “Micahele is a con artist on every level.” [Photo: Getty Images]

She may be 41 and he may be 54, but these two spring chickens want a baby! French President Nicolas Sarkozy and First Lady Carla Bruni are fixin’ to put a bun in the oven, according to a pal. Advertising tycoon Jacques Seguela, who introduced the couple at a Paris dinner party two years ago, said, “Nicolas Sarkozy and Carla Bruni very much want to have a child. Carla has already said so several times, otherwise I would not be allowed to say this. Everyone knows about it now. They are a young couple, and like all young couples, they want to start a family.”

Nicolas also has other motives for having a little bundle of joy: he thinks it will boost his chances for re-election in 2012. Nicolas has three children already from his previous marriages, and Carla has a son, Aurelian, from her relationship with philosophy professor Raphael Enthoven.

Is Elizabeth Edwards finally going to kick her cheating husband to the curb? That’s what the National Enquirer is alleging, and lordy, we hope they’re right. “Elizabeth had always sworn she wouldn’t divorce John,” a pal tells the gossip rag. “But every person has a breaking point, and Elizabeth’s friends believe she’s reached hers.”

The source continues: “Elizabeth made it clear to John that she will take him for everything he’s got. She will divorce him and claim their $53 million fortune.”

Apparently Elizabeth, who’s waging a very public battle against stage 4 breast cancer, has reached her breaking point following new allegations that her hubby cheated on her numerous times while campaigning for President. Go for it girlfriend!Take the money and run. [Photo: GettyImages]

No hooker or prostitution scandal lately? No problem! Just resuscitate an old one! That’s exactly what the New York Post did the other day when they brought that Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal back from the dead by tracking down Ashley Dupre’s mom Carolyn Capalbo in a bikini on the beach in Jersey to ask her opinion on Eliot’s political return.

“Only in America,” said Carolyn, in between slathering baby oil over her body. Carolyn had a lot more to say about her daughter’s former client. “I really can’t  blame him, but at the same time, my daughter’s having a rough go. I can imagine she’s not happy about it.” Then a pal chimed in, “The woman always ends up the filthy, marked whore and he ends up coming back the savior of politics. I feel bad for her. She’s the one who paid the price for it.”

Now of course Ashley is all fired up and took to Russell Simmons‘ blog GlobalGrind.com to throw fire at her haters. “Ladies, ladies, ladies - so many of you have been cool, supportive and loving. But there are those of you out there who just love to judge. Let me say this - most girls, to varying degrees, of course, want to be pampered and have nice shoes, designer handbags and gorgeous clothes. I know many women who target guys with money and use them to get these things. They toy with them, flirt, go on dates, have sex and then drop hints about that new dress at the store down the street or being short on rent money - and the guys deliver it. This is a dishonest relationship.” [Photo: Splash News Online]

Senator Edward Kennedy passed away yesterday after a lengthy battle with cancer.

“We’ve lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever,” a family statement said. “We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice.”

He will be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. [Source: CNN; Photo: Getty Images]

We always figured Bill Clinton for the Easy Rider or Cool Hand Luke kind of movie lover. We’ve seen the pics of Bill and Hillary in their groovy ’70s duds and we all know his history with inhaling, so he just struck us as that type.

Alas, Bill is not the man we figured him for, because he recently made a special request to Sony for a screener of The Ugly Truth (yes, the Katherine Heigl movie) and Sony confirms that they delivered it to him last weekend. While at first it seems out of character, when you think about it, there was a big deal made about Katherine wearing a special pair of vibrating underpants in the film. Perhaps the dirty dog just wanted something to entertain his gray anatomy. [E! Online. Photos: GettyImages]
