Obamas, Press Determined to Ruin Martha's Vineyard [Vacations]


Barack Obama is on vacation on Martha's Vineyard, with his family, his dog, and the traveling press corps. This is terrible news for that island's struggling community.

When our last president went on vacation, he went to a giant make-believe Hollywood "ranch" in a shitty suburb of Waco. No one was inconvenienced by a busload of reporters and phalanx of security. But Martha's Vineyard is a little inaccessible island of salty sea-folk and thousands of incredibly wealthy vacationers! This is no place for a media circus!

Which is why the White House is demanding that the reporters who followed Barack Obama on his vacation not do any "reporting," while they are there. No pictures of the kids without Obama! And no telling anyone where he is going!

Further, added press aide Katie Lillie, there will be no tolerating reporters using cellphones to call or text friends with the president's latest movements on the island. Since the Vineyard has relatively few roads - and it's easy to figure out how Obama would travel from one venue to another - those in the press pool must agree not to telegraph where he's going.

Violators, she said, would be thrown out of the pool.

Plus if they say where on the Vineyard Obama is going, it'll become a shitty tourist trap, like when Bill Clinton wore that Black Dog t-shirt that one time.

Drudge even ruined the website of the Martha's Vineyard Gazette!

Still, if the reporters are excused from doing "work," they can at least enjoy a free trip to the Vineyard. It is much nicer than August in Texas. And after a slow, rainy, recession-y summer, the local business-owners can cash in with Obama-related drinks and merchandise. Make sure to buy some Obama crap from one of island's hundreds of t-shirt stores while you're there, pool reporters!

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
