Rumors are swirling that Chelsea Clinton, daughter of Bill and Hillary, will tie the knot with boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky at Martha's Vineyard in August.

According to residents of the Vineyard, the liberal power couple (Mezvinsky is the son of two former Democratic congresspeople) will marry at the home of power broker, Vernon Jordan's multi-acre estate.

Will President Obama show up?

The Obama family does have plans to visit Martha's Vineyard in August!!!

Although the Clinton family denies the event, we hear wedding bells!

Happy news for former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton!

According to the National Enquierer, their daughter, 29-year-old Chelsea Clinton, is getting married this summer!

Chelsea and her civilian beau, Marc Mezvinsky, are said to be tying the knot in a $1 million wedding. And with a combined income of $109 million, the Clintons can definitely afford it!

Mezvinsky seems to be a good fit. The 31-year-old works in Wall Street and his dad is former Iowa congressman Ed Mezvinsky.

Bad part is daddy Mezvinsky has served time for investment fraud.

We hope that doesn't run in the family!

But on a good note, Ed has just been released from a halfway house and is out in time for the wedding.

A source reveals "Chelsea hasn't even admitted that she's engaged to Marc, but that's not stopping her from planning a wedding. She's always dreamed of having a special wedding, and these days that could set her parents back a million dollars, but they'd give her anything her heart desires for the event."

No definite wedding location has been set, though an insider says that "Hilton Head is a good bet because that's where she met Marc in 1993 at a Renaissance Weekend, an annual event for heavy-hitters that their families attended."

If the news is true, then Congratulations to the happy couple!

Former First Kitty, Socks the cat, has been put to rest after twenty good years and a final battle with throat cancer since November.

Socks started out as a stray cat who was saved by Chelsea Clinton. He then lived in the Governor's Mansion in Arkansas with Bill and Hillary Clinton, and moved into the White House with the family during Clinton's presidency.

After Socks' stint in the White House, he moved in with Betty Currie, the president's personal secretary, who had become attached to the kitty and asked if she could adopt him.

Betty even cooked for Socks, who had a penchant for chicken.

In a statement, the Clintons said, "Socks brought much happiness to Chelsea and us over the years, and enjoyment to kids and cat lovers everywhere. We're grateful for those memories, and we especially want to thank our good friend, Betty Currie, for taking such loving care of Socks for so many years."

Rest in peace, Socks! May you romp forever in fields of cat nip in the sky!

Hillary and Bill Clinton will be seeing 2008 off and ringing in 2009 in Times Square tomorrow.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced this morning, Tuesday, that the Clintons will be launching the ball drop at 11:59pm on New Year's Eve. Bloomberg selected the political pair because "Both together and as individuals, Senator and President Clinton have brought hope and opportunity to New York, to the nation, and to the world."

This year's ball is twice the size as last year's, but it is also 20% more energy efficient!

Weighing nearly 12,000 pounds and measuring 12 feet in diameter, the NYE ball is slathered in 2,668 Waterford Crystals. As the ball drops, the numbers 2009 (Each number is 7 feet tall, 5 feet wide, and weighs 500 pounds) will light up. The ball will commemorate the rest of 2009's holidays as well, including Valentine's and Halloween.

We imagine that Clay Aiken has something similar in his pants.

Happy New Year!

Not being the center of attention must be killing him!

In a new interview with CNN International, former president Bill Clinton revealed that he won't mess things up for wifey Hillary by meddling in her Secretary of State job or President-Elect Obama's presidential duties.

But, should Baracky ask, he'd LOVE to help out the President-elect!

CNN: How involved do you think you will get in the decisions that your wife will have to make as far as foreign policy?

Bill: Very little. I think my involvement will be what our involvement with each other’s work has always been, which is all the years that I was governor and president, I talked to her about everything. I found her advice invaluable, and I'm sure we'll talk about all this. I mean, I really care about all these profound challenges that our country and the world are facing. But the decisions will have to be ultimately the President-elect Obama's decisions to make about what we are going to do, what our policies are going to be, and she will be part of the team formulating those policies and carrying them out. I'll just try to be a helpful sounding board to her, but I don't think I'll do any more than that. Unless he asks me to do something specific, which I'm neither looking for nor closed to.

So, President-Elect Obama, just in case you didn't know, Bill is here to do anything you need him to, ok?

The bigger the job the better, right Bubba?

The Sunshine state is going to get a little sunnier on Wednesday.

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama AND former president Bill Clinton will appear TOGETHER at an Orlando, FL, rally.

This is the first Obama event Clinton has appeared at alongside the candidate.

Hillary, however, won't be in attendance.

We assume she doesn't want to get in the way of Billy's spotlight!

If you're in Florida, you know you can vote like now, right?

Get out there and voice your opinion early!

Monday on ABC's The View, former President Bill Clinton said that although he understands and respects Obama's choice in running mate, he believes his wife, New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, “would have been the best politically.”

The former White House bad boy said that he likes Senator Biden and acknowledged that selecting a running mate is a "personal choice." He also added that Hillary didn't really want to be Obama's running mate and that she loves being a "senator from New York."

Spin, spin, sugar!

Despite his remarks, Bill remained vague on whether or not he thought his wife would have been a better choice because she is a woman, securing the now wavering Democratic female vote.

He diplomatically explained:

“Voting is a complicated process. We give our allegiances to candidates and parties and issues for all kinds of reasons. We vote for some people because we like them even though we disagree with them. We vote for some people because we identify with them on race or gender.
“It’s not an entirely rational process, and it is different for everybody.”

That's not exactly reassuring!

There he goes again!

Bill Clinton is planning on embarrassing Hillary Clinton again by NOT showing up to Barack Obama's acceptance speech on Thursday.

Bubba, your wife just called for the Democratic party's unity.

You Clintons gotta practice what you preach!

Don't be a bitter Betty, Bill!

So unbecoming of a former President of the UNITED States of America, don't you say?
