Culture: Rielle Hunter’s sexy GQ photos not what Rielle Hunter expected

  • You hear that? It’s the sound of immense regret crashing down on a woman who’s saying to herself, “I’ve made a huge mistake.” Rielle Hunter’s GQ interview and photo spread, which is nearly as skeezy as anything Eric Massa told Glenn Beck a week ago, was not supposed to be anything like that, she told Barbara Walters. Hunter also wasn’t wearing John Edwards’ shirt, but the photographer’s. She called the photographs “repulsive,” according to Walters, who regaled the tale on “The View.” She seemed comfortable during the shoot, though! source

World: Seen any of these people? They’re wanted for getting Bourne in Dubai

World: In photos: The 2010 Haitian earthquake (This is awful, guys.)

  • It may be one of the most devastating natural disasters to ever hit the continent, and really, the photos say it all. It’s going to be probably another day at least before a somewhat realistic toll of the destruction can be nailed down – the destruction was so bad that it destroyed communication mechanisms. source
