Barack Obama is a uniter.

Forget Reublicans, Democrats and Independents. Obama has brought together a pair of celebrity gossip rivals.

The feud between The Hollywood Gossip staff and fellow blogger Perez Hilton is well-documented - but we can look past Hilton’s immature, uncreative postings in order to unite behind the common cause of electing Barack Obama as the next President of the United States.

Perez’s shirt says it all.

Can The Hollywood Gossip look past our disagreements with Perez Hilton in order to encourage young voters to elect Barack Obama? YES WE CAN!

Ladies and gentlemen, a new entry has entered the running for Cutest Celebrity Baby on the Planet.

Presenting… Nahla!

Indeed, the five-month old and mother Halle Berry made their first public appearance together yesterday. Sans Gabriel Aubry, they walked around the Los Angeles Zoo.

Take a look at the photo below and let us know where you’d rank Nahla among Suri, Jayden James, Kingston and company.

You might think Sarah Palin - the Republican candidate for Vice President of the United States - is having a great week, but three recent developments have popped up:

1. Political website The Daily Kos says Palin is lying about being the mother of her fifth child. Seriously.
2. Palin’s own mother-in-law in unlikely to vote for her, as Faye Palin told The New York Daily News: “I’m not sure what [Sarah] brings to the ticket other than she’s a woman and a conservative.”
3. Diddy is down on her as a selection.

In a hilarious - albeit truthful and insightful - rant, the rapper went off on John McCain for being irresponsible enough to place someone as inexperienced as Mrs. Todd Palin on the ticket.

See what Diddy has to say now:

Even on The Sopranos, James Gandolfini put family first.

Now, the actor is doing the same in real life, as he tied the knot with fiancée Deborah Lin yesterday in her hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii.

“There was a nice big kiss at the end with both hands on the cheeks,” a source at the ceremony told People Magazine, adding the couple “looked great.”

With a group of their closest friends and family looking on, Gandolfini and Lin exchanged their vows in an intimate ceremony. They were surrounded by white lilies and rhododendrons adorning every pew.

Awww!

I swear it still seems like Guy Ritchie is slowly creeping his way out of his marriage. Every so often he’ll make these little Katie Holmes-like gestures of independence and you’ll think “Hey maybe he’s not totally brainwashed/doomed to die in some fiery volcano.” Okay a bit more of that example was Katie Holmes related, but you get my point.

Guy has said he and Madge won’t be renewing their wedding vows anytime soon. Apparently there was some gossip going around about that – though considering all the “emotional affair” rumors, the “we love each other so much we might renew our vows” gossip didn’t exactly get a lot of press. But just to be clear, no, they don’t.

Guy Ritchie has spoken out about claims he and Madonna are planning a wedding blessing.

The 39-year-old director says the idea is out of the question – because he spent too much money on her 50th birthday party.

‘’We won’t be renewing our vows,’ he tells The Mirror. ‘I think once was enough. And I’ve just paid out on a big party for her birthday.’

Guy, currently promoting new film RocknRolla, also reveals what he gave Madge to mark her half century.

‘I brought her 2 original Hermes drawings of equestrian thingies,’ he says. ‘But trust me, the party was infinitely more expensive than the paintings.’

The couple have been married for almost 8 years.

You have the right to do whatever the hell you want to do Guy Ritchie, but don’t try to feed us some bull about how you’re not re-confirming your love for your wife because you don’t have the cash. That’d be like a penguin saying “Oh I’d totally do it, but I just can’t find any ice for the reception. I mean if it weren’t for the lack of ice I’d be all over it.”

I imagine that Madonna probably has someone who’s sole job is to tape dollar bills together and then loop them around a golden toilet paper roll in each room. That way you can literally wipe yourself with Madonna’s cash. You’ve got the money. You just don’t want to announce to the world how awesome and solid your union is. And that’s smart. Your reason is what’s dumb.
