Family Ties

This Us Weekly-esque picture of Rielle Hunter and her baby Francis, who may or may not be John Edwards' daughter, landed on the cover of the National Enquirer thanks to one of Rielle's sisters. Nice. Of the two potential snitches, one hasn't spoken to Rielle in 15 years and has already been previously identified as an Enquirer source. Gee, we wonder which one would sell a picture to the tabloid in exchange for a pocketful of cash?

We can't wait until this whole scandal blows over and it becomes a Lifetime movie.

Does Rielle Hunter strike you as a person who has close, loyal friends and relatives?

Reille Hunter strikes me as a person who should have Slut spray painted on her door. Or like a person whose hobbies include quilting and cocaine.

I wish I was watching a Lifetime movie right now… instead of wanting to kill myself at work. Ughhh!

Brenda, MY hobbies include quilting and cocaine. Is that wrong?

No. 5 brenda walsh says:

Figuratively, perhaps.

Nothing wrong with quilting and cocaine. Except if your name is Reille and you named your baby Francis. Like that girl's life isn't going to be hard enough.

Hey! Kurt Cobain named his daughter Francis. Watch out for sad, frustrated teens when you go to bed.

No. 7 Got Nickel says:

I actually saw Rielle Hunter on an old episode of the game show "Lingo" on Game Show Network the other day! Was channel surfing, noticed her spelling out 5 letter words alongside a friend (named "Patricia", I believe). Has The National Enquirer checked this out yet?!?

No. 8 Chelsea says:

Oh man, this is gonna make one hell of a Lifetime story. Starring Meredith Baxter of course, but who will play John Edwards. He's gonna look soooo skeazy. Fuck, I <3 basic cable.

No. 10 Sarah says:

I think it's actually "Frances" when it's a girl. And that is the only correction I will make today.

The Lingo thing popped up on TMZ the other day:

Side story: Morgan Freeman's affair with a white lady?!

WHY NOT ME MORGAN??? WHY NOT MEEEEEEEEEEEEE???

No. 14 Sarah says:

Wasn't his wife white too? Did I just make that up?

No. 15 brenda walsh says:

I have no idea. I actually don't subscribe to the Life and Times of Morgan Q. Freeman, however I do think his voice is sexy.

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 3:50 pm
No. 16 Sarah says:

I think HE's sexy. Said it before, I'll say it again. I don't care who he's married to. I don't have to; I'm a slut.

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 3:54 pm
No. 17 brenda walsh says:

I'd think HE was sexy if he wasn't all….old. Old balls in my mouth is something I just don't want. I'm sorry. Maybe when I'm old it'll be ok, but I actually plan on becoming a cougar so I won't have to worry.

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 4:00 pm
No. 18 Sarah says:

Try not to think about old balls, Brenda. I get through the day, and continue crushing on Morgan Freeman, by doing just that.

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 4:02 pm
No. 19 Sarah says:

NOT thinking about old balls.

No. 20 brenda walsh says:

Thanks Sarah, I'll try, but it won't be easy.

*shivers curled in the fetal position alternating between mumbling about old balls and shouting NOT IN MY MOUTH MORGAN!!!*

No. 21 blah says:

The role of John Edwards could be played by the former telivision lawyer (and dragon slayer), Harry Hamlin. He hasn't had a lot of work lately, so a Lifetime movie is the perfect springboard to D status.

No. 22 payter says:

I just looked at this article and realized - I have no idea how to pronounce this slut's name!!?? Is is Rile or Re-elle? I must know!!
Any help here?

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 4:50 pm
No. 23 Sarah says:

Ri-elle. I think she's spelling her name wrong, though.

No. 27 queencrone says:

Blah! I love Harry Hamblin as John. I was thinking Gwyneth Paltrow for Rielle.

Yes, Gwynnie is much younger that Rielle, but I think it could work.

Posted: Aug 22, 2008 at 6:37 pm
No. 28 blah says:

Gwynnie would have to seriously take her attitude down a peg, but I could see it. I like the idea of Merideth Baxter though. I don't think Paltrow would cow-tow to Lifetime and thier TV movie budget.

No. 29 queencrone says:

Meredeth Baxter is 61. I'm just saying. (She IS amazing.)
