Born as Laurie Ellen Lennard, Laurie was married to Larry David (co-creator of Seinfeld and creator of Curb Your Enthusiasm) for 14 years. The couple announced their intention to amicably separate on June 5, 2007. Laurie David filed for divorce on July 19, 2007.[2][3]

Global warming

Laurie David is best known for her efforts to stop global warming. She founded the Stop Global Warming Virtual March[4] with Senator John McCain and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Ms. magazine quoted David about the grassroots aspect of her campaign: "If everyone does one thing, they are likely to do two things, then three things. Then they are likely to influence friends and family, and that's how you build a movement."

In addition to the Virtual March, Laurie David has produced several other projects to bring the issue of global warming into mainstream popular culture, including the release of her first book, Stop Global Warming: The Solution Is You!, and the comedy special, Earth to America! for TBS, which aired November 20, 2005, featuring Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, and Jack Black, among others.

The show garnered positive reviews and sparked hundreds of TV, print and radio stories about global warming. In addition to the Academy Award-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, starring Al Gore, she produced the HBO documentary Too Hot Not to Handle on the effects of global warming in the United States, which aired on HBO on April 22, 2006. Laurie David also appeared in Big Ideas for a Small Planet, an environmentalist documentary series on the Sundance Channel.

Large carbon footprint

In an interview with The Guardian in November 2006, David acknowledged that owning two homes on opposite sides of the country and flying in a private jet several times per year is at odds with her message to others. In the interview she notes "Yes, I take a private plane on holiday a couple of times a year, and I feel horribly guilty about it. I probably shouldn't do it. But the truth is, I'm not perfect. This is not about perfection. I don't expect anybody else to be perfect either. That's what hurts the environmental movement – holding people to a standard they cannot meet. That just pushes people away."[5]

Paving over protected wetlands

In 2005, and then again in 2009, David was cited by the Chilmark Conservation Commission for paving over protected wetland areas on her estate at Martha's Vineyard.

Legal Warming: Police Re-Open Investigation of Sexual Assault By Al Gore

In a surprise move, the Portland Police Bureau has announced that it is re-opening the investigation into the allegations against former Vice President Al Gore. Gore is accused of a sexual assault by a masseuse who described him as a “crazy sex poodle.” Notably, Molly Hagerty, 54, claims that there is DNA evidence and supporting security videotapes.


The alleged assault occurred in 2006 in a Portland hotel, but the masseuse declined at the time to press charges. She alleged that Gore grabbed her hand and insisted on what is commonly known as a “happy ending” to the massage. She says that he forced her to drink Grand Marnier, pinned her to a bed, and forcibly French kissed her.

Smoking Gun reported that she also claims to have forensic evidence, possibly Gore’s bodily fluids on her pants — a striking analogy to Bill Clinton’s encounter with a certain blue dress.

She told police that, before the alleged attack, Gore gave her a “come hither” look. Next to an encounter with an enraged naked Rahm Emanuel in a shower, the idea of a naked Al Gore giving a “come hither” look is one of the world’s most disturbing images.
