George W. Bush Gossip

... a triumvirate of stars who celebrated their birthdays Sunday! On a weekend that already marked the birth of the good ol' U.S.A., here are photo galleries of three celebrities who turned a year older and wiser (yeah right) July 6:

First, it's bullet-riddled rapper and Shaniqua Tompkins baby-daddy, 50 Cent!

Next, we have the very bright 43rd U.S. President, George W. Bush!

Finally, it's the fiance of Jason Wahler, Ms. Katja Decker-Sadowski!

When does your favorite star celebrate another year of not purchasing a farm of some kind? Check out our celebrity birthdays calendar and see!

With approval ratings under 30 percent, George W. Bush is the political equivalent of Spencer Pratt. Only the latter is actually good at what he does.

Anyway, you'd be hard pressed to find fans of the U.S. President nowadays. Case in point: A couple of random dudes in Raleigh, N.C., who refused to acknowledge the Prez even when he personally walked right by them!

Check out the clip below from Countdown with Keith Olbermann. George W. Bush waves to the two fellas, and just in case they didn't see, or weren't sure who exactly he was, he waves to them again! Still, no response. Classic.

Ladies and gentlemen, the First Daughter and First Son-in-Law!

Saturday night in Crawford, Texas, Jenna Bush and Henry Hager tied the knot. Here are a few photos released by The White House communications office of the beautiful bride, her new husband, and, of course, the U.S. President...

- Minnie Driver, when asked who her unborn baby's father is

- Fergie

"I grew up watching Lindsay. It made me want to do what she does."

Welcome, celebrity gossip readers across the world, to The Hollywood Gossip Caption Contest, a fun tradition and Friday afternoon fan-favorite.

When President George W. Bush poses for the photo below with the Easter Bunny, you know the results are going to be pretty funny. Who won?

We received a lot of good submissions, but Sap wins the title. Congratulations! The winning entry appears below the photo, with the full list further down.

Thank you for playing and best of luck again this week!

Bush: And for the longest time I thought you were a real bunny...
Bunny: ... sort of like how you thought there were weapons of mass destruction??

Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are running such a competitive race for the Democratic presidential nomination that many voters want them to run in tandem.

Good luck getting one to agree to take the V.P. spot. Still, one artist's rendering of an Obama-Clinton ticket took on a whole new meaning this week. Gross!

Opposing Obillary, of course, is John McCain, who (at least regarding the Iraq war) is sounding more like President Bush each day. We'll call it McBush!

Which candidate below would you vote for? There's little doubt that the frightening lagoon creature on the left has the diversity vote locked up ...

Interestingly, the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton image is actually taken from a real ad for a school in Brussels, Belgium, with the visible tagline "why choose if you can combine?" The gist - it's a college and university in one! Clever!

Meanwhile, our celebrity gossip presidential primary remains a tight race!

Thanks to People magazine, as usual, for this collection of some of the funniest and most most memorable celebrity quotes from the past week ...

"She looks at me and says, 'Nice top shelf.' That was one of the greatest days of my life." - Justin Timberlake on Madonna

"He'll have to restrain his hair." - A Waffle House employee, on Kid Rock

"Do not pull them up tight and have your bulge showing. Let it hang!" - Victoria Beckham on the way to wear jeans

"You always want to point out the elephant in the room." - Jim Carrey, dressed as an Dr. Seuss' Horton the Elephant, on American Idol

"She knew her lines better than me." - How I Met Your Mother's Josh Radnor, on Britney Spears' visit to the set

"I had to face some difficult spending decisions and I've had to conduct sensitive diplomacy. That's called planning for a wedding." - President George W. Bush

"I really romanticized being pregnant. Then I realized, this is awful!"
- Marcia Cross, reminiscing about pregnancy

"A little later on I'll be at the Dinah Shore Golf Tournament, of course. That's if it doesn't conflict with my women's basketball games that I go to." - Ellen DeGeneres, leaving a message for Rep. Sally Kern of Oklahoma

"I just don't want to be thought of as a monster." - Ashley Dupre

NOTE: We now provide you with a momentary break from Ashley Alexandra Dupre news to bring you a lighter, less controversial political story.

Love him or hate him, there's no denying that President George W. Bush has faced tough economic and diplomatic issues during two terms in office.

Daughter Jenna Bush's upcoming wedding has presented its own challenges.

"I had to face some difficult spending decisions and I've had to conduct sensitive diplomacy. That's called planning for a wedding," George W. Bush said, eliciting laughs from the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

President Bush, who will be replaced by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or John McCain on January 20, has bigger things to stress out about - wedding planning.

Proving that even being Commander-in-Chief can't get you out of shelling out too much for your daughter's wedding - or get you control over the details, the Prez quipped when asked how the planning is going:

"They're letting me spend money, that's how it's going."

Jenna Bush is set to wed Henry Hager at her parents' ranch in Crawford, Texas, on May 10. The couple's engagement was announced in August.

Bush, 26, and Hager, 29, who make a very cute couple, recently enjoyed respective bachelorette and bachelor weekends in Florida.

Wow. And we thought President Bush was being phony this afternoon when he pretended to approve of John McCain as the Republican nominee for president.

Take a look at what Bush was thinking when last year's American Idol champion, Jordin Sparks, performed at the White House earlier this year...

Do you agree? Do you think Blake Lewis should have won?

We wonder how Bush will feel about David Archuleta ... we mean, whoever ends up being crowed this year's American Idol champion.
