Why Tipper's Enthusiasm for Al Was Curbed

Maybe Larry David can crack funny about this when Curb Your Enthusiasm returns.

Al Gore's split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with Larry David's ex-wife — for the past two years!

In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper's breakup didn't come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard summer home.

“Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," an insider tells Star. "It couldn’t be avoided."

Obviously the Manimal magnetism of Manbearpig could not be resisted.

Let's look at it this way: It's better than the gay affair rumor (NTTAWWT) because the visual of that would require years of therapy.
