Gina Gershon denies hanky-panky with Bill Clinton

Gina Gershon did not have sex with that man, Mr. Clinton.

That’s what the actress’ high-powered attorneys yesterday fired off in a letter to Vanity Fair maggie, which just published a scandalous story about Bill Clinton that insinuates that Gerson had an inappropriate liaison with the former president.

The story, called “The Comeback Id,” written by Todd Purdum - the hubby of Bubba’s former press secretary Dee Dee Myers - reports there’s been “some recent high-end Hollywood dinner party gossip that Clinton has been seen visiting with the actress Gina Gershon in California.”

The actress’ lawyers claim she’s been in the same room as the former prez at least three times, but was always in the presence of many, sometimes 100 or more, people.

When Clinton was in office, Gershon attended a charity event at the White House as a guest of the Shrivers, her attorney Lynda B. Goldman wrote Purdum and VF editor Graydon Carter. She also attended a big dinner in New York for Bono, where the prez was in attendance. And Gina was a last-minute guest at a dinner party for 10 or 15 thrown by Ron Burkle at his home in La-La where Clinton was on the guest list.

“These are the true facts,” said the lawyer. “Rumor-mongering was substituted for fact-checking.”

The letter demands “a retraction and correction.”

The former president himself is none too happy with Purdum’s reportage.

Earlier this week, Clinton said of the former New York Times [NYT] writer: “He’s sleazy. He’s a really dishonest reporter. . . . There’s just five or six blatant lies in there. But he’s a real slimy guy.”

Bill, however, wasn’t specific about the “lies.”

Citing an anti-Hillary/pro-Obama media conspiracy, the former LOTFW said that Vanity Fair’s scribe didn’t use a “single name, cite a single source in all those things he said. It’s just slimy.”
