To date, there has been historic voter participation in New York State for Obama.

Hollywood’s Thriftiest Stars
Fame and fortune doesn’t necessarily always turn celebrities into financial fools. While frugality may not be the biggest Hollywood trend, there are a few celebrities who can pinch a penny with the best of us — and we’re not just talking about getting snapped by the paparazzi stocking up on party munchies at Costco every once in a while. Eva Longoria  The Frugal Facts: Her wedding in 2007 reportedly cost $1.5 million, but this ‘Desperate Housewives’ star still scored a lot of freebies to give to her 200 guests: Van Cleef & Arpel 18K yellow gold charm bracelets, and L’Oreal, Cole Haan, and Bebe products were a few. She says the frugal gene runs in her family, explaining that her dad would take her and her three siblings camping with no food. “He would tell us that we could live off the land. I can skin a deer, a pig, a snake … ” Tyra Banks  The Frugal Facts: Despite a fortune estimated at $75 million, this 34-year-old is an avowed penny pincher. “I am frugal,” she said in a June 1 ‘New York Times Magazine’ profile. “I’ve always been this way. When I was young, my mom would give me my allowance, and I’d peel off a little each week and have some to spare. ” Banks’s culinary tastes runs toward Cheesecake Factory, and is known to stock up on hotel soap. Sarah Jessica Parker  The Frugal Facts: Contrary to Parker’s character in ‘Sex and the City,’ the 43-year-old isn’t such a slave to fashion. In fact, she used to get sick from buyer’s remorse and return items the next day. Explaining that her family went through a time when they were on welfare, Parker says of her son, “Just because mommy and daddy are rich and famous, that doesn’t mean he should ride the gravy train through life … I want [James] to be normal.” Mick Jagger  The Frugal Facts: Jagger reportedly pulled out of buying a painting by bandmate Ron Wood because the $140,000 price tag “scared him off.” His ex-wife, model Jerry Hall, complained, “He always wanted me to pay for everything to do with the house and the children. He’s generous with gifts and presents, but yeah, he’s pretty tight with the day-to-day stuff.” He explains that he was taught as a child to be frugal: “We don’t like to throw computers away as soon as they don’t work — apart from out of the window in frustration. We like cars to be repaired instead of junked.” Paul McCartney  The Frugal Facts: Paul McCartney is worth more than $1 billion, but he’s not likely to advertise it. At a birthday party for his ex-wife, he made the guests pay for their drinks. Even his fashion designer daughter, Stella, reportedly called him “a tight bastard” for sending her and her three siblings to local state schools rather than posh private ones. Nor is he resting on his investments. Tobey Maguire  The Frugal Facts: Even after his price jumped up to $26 million a picture thanks to three ‘Spider Man’ mega-hits, Maguire is usually snapped wearing lived-in t-shirts and jeans. “You know those Lotto winners, who win big and blow through all that money? That would never happen to me,” says Maguire, who credits his poverty-stricken childhood as the impetus for his quest for financial security. “I just never wanted to put myself in the position where my spending was so huge that I had to keep making movie after movie.” Halle Berry  The Frugal Facts: Halle Berry can make a fashion designer millions simply by wearing a gown on a red carpet. After all, she’s one of the world’s most photographed women. Still, this fashion icon would sooner hit the sales racks than fly to Paris for a couture fitting. Berry, whose mom struggled to raise her and her older sister after their father walked out when she was four, is an unabashed saver. “I am pretty frugal,” say the twice-divorced Oscar winner and new mom. “I save a lot because I’m always worried about when this trip is going to stop. So I’m saving for that day so I can have a life that is secure and comfortable.” Jay Leno  The Frugal Facts: Despite his huge fortune, the only flashy thing about Leno is his collection of cars and motorcycles. “When I was a kid … I had one job which the money went in the bank and the other job that I lived off of,” he said in 2004. “I still do that to this day. I have yet to touch a dime of my Tonight Show salary. I live off the money I make as a comedian … Maybe it comes from having parents who grew up during the Depression.” Yet, While Conan O’Brien offered to cover the salaries of pink-slipped staffers during the writers’ strike, Leno only did so after being shamed by all the bad press. Sarah Michelle Gellar  The Frugal Facts: Growing up, money was tight at Sarah Michelle Gellar’s house, especially when her dad walked out she was just six. Now after soap opera and movie fame, the New York native remains careful about her money. “I take my reusable bag to Whole Foods so I get a discount,” Sarah told Self magazine in 2007. “I go to Bloomingdale’s on double reward days. And I always print my dry cleaning coupons before I go. The main thing I want to do is make sure that I can take care of myself and my mother,” she said in 2000. Leonardo DiCaprio  The Frugal Facts: Other than shelling out $2.5 million for an island near Belize in 2005, the environmental activist tends to live on the cheap. “I don’t pay lavish expenses,” he has said. “I don’t fly private jets. I still have only one car, and that’s a Toyota Prius. I don’t spend money on a lot. Money is very important to me because it allows me the freedom to choose what I want to do as an actor and most importantly because I want to accumulate enough so that one day I can do something really great and beneficial for other people, for the environment or for children.”
Matthew Broderick Cheated on Sarah Jessica Parker
 Matthew Broderick has reportedly been caught, sneaking off for a little heated sex with someone other than his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker.
Could you imagine that happening to you? I would totally freak out, if Matthew Broderick came out of one of the bedrooms at my house, after just riding my friend.
Jessica Cutler Washingtonienne HBO Series
Jessica Cutler, who blogged for about five minutes and turned it into an awesome nude Playboy photo spread and a book deal, is back with a new HBO comedy series.
Only in America could a modestly talented, decent looking gal turn screwing old dudes for money into such fame and fortune. Still, all in all, I’d hit it. The famed Jessica Cutler Playboy nudes? Under the fold, naturally.
Sarah Jessica Parker Removes Witches Mole
Sarah Jessica Parker attended Tuesday night’s All-Star game, and hit the field beforehand for an announcement about cancer research — but something was noticeably missing.  Parker has long had a trademark mole on her chin, which has been visible throughout her career, but now it appears to be missing in action. At least one of the remarkably cruel reviews of “Sex and the City: The Movie” commented on her beauty mark. The New York Observer’s Rex Reed began his review with the following:
There’s no word yet on whether she removed the mole for medical or cosmetic reasons. Personally, I didn’t find the mole that offensive… it’s not like she had big black hairs growing out of it. source: Sarah Jessica Parker’s Missing Mole [huffington post] Celebrities Who Rock the Moles
Who Rocks the Mole? The moles, some real — some fake. Some Celebrities embrace the mole, while others get rid of the unsightly beauty marks. Natalie Portman:  Britney Spears:  Eva Mendes:  Angelina Jolie:  Jessica Simpson:  More after the jump!
Sarah Jessica Parker Blow Up Sex Doll Photos
After the blow up doll that was created in Sarah Jessica Parker’s likeness surfaced, legal questions followed. Pipedream Products cranked out a sex doll that has HBO’s Sex and the City themed packaging. An attorney who can’t appreciate good puns and sex toys suggested the network take legal action.
Booo. What a spoil sport. Even though SJP and I are BFF in the land of Cara, I can’t imagine there is much demand for a Carrie Bradshaw blow up doll. I guess the Samantha version comes with a Shanghai surprise and crabs. It must be one of those signs when you know you have made it in life. Parker joins the league of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria and Christina Aguilera sex dolls. I wonder if there is a congratulatory Hallmark card for the occasion. Source: Sarah Jessica Parker Blow Up Doll [Radar] Michelle Williams Pulls the Plug on Heath Ledger Drug Tape
Heath Ledger has passed away and we all need to let him go. Somehow the media, being the hyenas that we are, can’t seem to the fact that Heath had some personal problems go. The people behind Entertainment Tonight dug up some video of Ledger indulging in some recreational drugs. (Big hairy deal. What celeb in Hollywood hasn’t at least tried some?) To milk every minute of his saga out, the gossip show was planning on airing the tape yesterday. They reportedly paid over $200,000 for the film that aired in the East Coast but was yanked before it hit the air in the west. This is the part that I feel is worth attention….. Michelle Williams and her reps at ID Public Relations sent out a mass email that united fellow PR reps and studio heads. The idea was to launch force against Paramount to forego the footage.
After Paramount received “a flood of calls” the studio nixed the tape and finally became a little more compassionate. Some A-list stars also aired out their feelings and made contact to show their disgust with the idea. Phone calls and emails were received from Natalie Portman, Josh Brolin and Sarah Jessica Parker begging the them to have some respect. Even Scarlett Johansson joined in. She sent a text summing up what needs to become a mantra when it comes to his death and drug issues.

“I would think HBO would make an effort to stop this on the basis of trademark infringement,” Brokate told the Post.
“ET purchased [the video] for a large sum of money in the hope of stirring up a salacious and exploitative story about Heath, which would win them big ratings on the first day of sweeps,” ID rep John Koch wrote.
