Elizabeth Edwards Channels Her Inner-Sandra Bullock

elizabethedwards

Let’s see, Betty White is inspired by Sandra Bullock, as is Katherine Heigl, Kathy Griffin, Miley Cyrus, the cast of Jersey Shore, and of course TheFABlife staff, so it’s not a surprise that Elizabeth Edwards, the now ex-wife of former presidential candidate John Edwards, is also getting added to the list.

Unlike the others though, both Elizabeth and Sandy endured the recent devastation and public humiliation of discovering that their husbands were unfaithful, grimy schmucks. During a Today Show interview yesterday Elizabeth, who is battling stage four cancer, told host Matt Lauer how she relates to Sandra’s plea at the MTV Movie Awards for everything to “go back to normal.”

In her first TV interview since her husband of 33 years admitted his sickening antics, she comments about the “incredible” year Sandy has had, saying “yet, the stories you hear are not about all those great successes, but about the failure of her marriage. I thought, that’s not who she is. I don’t know her, but I assume she wants to reclaim who she is in the same way I want to reclaim who I am.”

Waving our Team Elizabeth flags, we think Elizabeth, Sandra and Elin Nordegren should form a gang called “The Tough Cookies.” Stick it to the men, ladies!

John Edwards Fesses Up To Fathering Love Child

58191690

If the Democrats in our country weren’t having a bad enough week already, John Edwards is going to make it that much worse right now. Edwards is finally coming clean and admitting that he fathered Rielle Hunter‘s baby while campaigning in 2007. Also in 2007? Edwards’ wife Elizabeth‘s second bout with breast cancer and their decision to renew their wedding vows on their 30th anniversary. Way to make it a banner year, John.

In a statement released today, Edwards came clean about the child who is now 2 years old:

“I am Quinn’s father. I will do everything in my power to provide her with the love and support she deserves. I have been able to spend time with her during the past year and trust that future efforts to show her the love and affection she deserves can be done privately and in peace. It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me. I have been providing financial support for Quinn and have reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future. To all those I have disappointed and hurt these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry.”

Elizabeth Edwards and others close to the former presidential candidate have known since last summer about the paternity, but this is the first public admission of it. This week is starting to feel like Bizarro world what with Cindy McCain protesting Prop 8 in California, Massachusetts electing a Republican senator, and now a formerly admirable politician admitting he’s just as sketchy as the next pro-golfer. It’s too bad late night comedian’s are so busy skewering each other, they could have a field day with this. [Photo: Getty Images]

John And Elizabeth Edwards Headed For Divorce?

John-Elizabeth-Edwards

Is Elizabeth Edwards finally going to kick her cheating husband to the curb? That’s what the National Enquirer is alleging, and lordy, we hope they’re right. “Elizabeth had always sworn she wouldn’t divorce John,” a pal tells the gossip rag. “But every person has a breaking point, and Elizabeth’s friends believe she’s reached hers.”

The source continues: “Elizabeth made it clear to John that she will take him for everything he’s got. She will divorce him and claim their $53 million fortune.”

Apparently Elizabeth, who’s waging a very public battle against stage 4 breast cancer, has reached her breaking point following new allegations that her hubby cheated on her numerous times while campaigning for President. Go for it girlfriend!Take the money and run. [Photo: GettyImages]

Wife Finally Dumps Cheatin’ John Edwards

Ladies across the country are breathing a sigh of relief today, after word broke that their homegirl Elizabeth Edwards supposedly kicked her cheating husband of 29 years, former Senator John Edwards, to the curb. Elizabeth stood by her man after news of his affair (and alleged love child) with weird and willowly filmmaker Rielle Hunter leaked this summer. But the health care advocate recently showed up for a presentation at George Washington University without her husband or her wedding ring in sight. Page Six adds to the buzz, with a source who claims the couple has separated and are living apart. Could a Guy Ritchie-Madonna divorce drama be far behind? [Photo: GettyImages]
