Al Gore Accused of Affair with Laurie David

Have former Vice President Al Gore and Laurie David, ex-wife of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David, been having an affair for the last two years?

That's the allegation of a prominent celebrity gossip tabloid.

Al Gore split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage earlier this month, news that shocked to a public who largely viewed the Gore union as an ideal marriage.

There were very few details, rumored or confirmed, about the nature of the split. Until today, when Star said that Al Gore and Laurie David are sleeping together.

Al has supposedly been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Larry David in 2007 amid reports she slept with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard home.

No additional information, such as whether Tipper found out about the split, or whether it's actually true, is available at this time. But an insider did tell Star:

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers. It couldn’t be avoided."

Really, Star insider? It was inevitable? There was no deliberation at all? Michelle McGee would agree with that take. Al's just doing what guys do, right? Yeesh.
