    Monica Lewinsky reclaims public attention thanks to PBS ‘Clinton’ film

    Monica Lewinsky, the former White House intern made famous for her sexual encounters with President Bill Clinton, is again in the spotlight thanks to a four-hour PBS documentary, "Clinton," which will air in a pair of segments on the evenings of February 20th and 21st as part of the network's 'American Experience' program.

    As news of the television special spread last week, Yahoo! searches on "Monica Lewinsky" spiked. Search terms also included "bill and monica," "monica Lewinsky now," and "Monica Lewinsky photos."

    As many readers will remember, when word of the scandal began to surface, Clinton denied his involvement with this line: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Later, of course, he  confessed that he did.

    The scandal -- involving a blue dress, a cigar, and some very uncomfortable congressional hearings -- led to the president's impeachment and a major media focus on Lewinsky, who was just 23 and a recent college grad at the time.

    Where is she now? Fourteen years later, Lewinsky's hardly in hiding. In fact, she's been quite busy: In 2005, she moved to London and received her master's degree in psychology. Later, she re-located to New York, is frequently spotted out on the town, and has her own handbag business, The Real Monica Inc. Word is, she's still single.

      • BAGSHOG 3 mths ago
        G.w.b. Gave blow jobs to d.c. They even made a movie it's called backdoor buddies that go deep . Texas just steers and queers.
    • Stephen  •  3 mths ago
      Shes only in the news because the media puts her there. Sorry way to make a living is to drag up an old carcass and chew on it again
      • Tda 3 mths ago
        Truer words were never spoken.
        What is the point of it? There isn't one.
      • NYC Tim 3 mths ago
        The media puts her there? You're a #$%$ Did you see where Monica Lewinsky was the top search on Yahoo? Did "the media" do that, too? You obviously have no clue or concept about how the media works, so please just shut up. The point TDA -- heretofore referred to as "the other #$%$ -- is that people are curious to find out what happened to Monica with this documentary coming out. When people are curious about a topic, "the media" does stories on that topic. Hopefully, this helps you understand, though I wonder if the two of you have even one brain between you.
      • Allan C 3 mths ago
        she has chewed on it before
    • no  •  Houston, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      No one cares anymore. Go away and take the Kardashian's with you...
      • TTTTT 3 mths ago
        ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T SECOND THAT ENOUGH. ALSO,ENOUGH WITH ALL THE #$%$ THESE PEOPLE START. IF THEY (THE SO CALLED STARS), WEREN'T HOUNDED BY THE MEDIA 24/7 THERE WOULD BE "NO GOSSIP" WHAT-SO-EVER. THEY SHOULD TRY TO KEEP THEIR OWN BACK YARD CLEAN, AND NEVER MIND WHAT EVERY ONE ELSE IS DOING. WHY DON'T THEY RESEARCH "ALL THE PAST PRESIDENTS, GOVERNORS, MAYORS, ACTORS, SINGERS, ETC.ETC.ETC. AND EVEN THEIR FAMILY TREE AND SEE WHAT THEY COME UP WITH. ALL THIS #$%$ JUST TO SELL A PAPER OR GET ON T.V. I'M LOOKING FOR THE DAY WHEN YOU TURN ON THE NEWS AND IT ENDS IN 5 MINUTES BECAUSE THERE WAS NOTHING WORTHWHILE TO SEE OR HEAR. I'M SO SICK OF THIS GARBAGE EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
      • Onebellplaza 3 mths ago
        I was just thinking .....what does this story have to do with the Kardashians ?
      • 20yrAlaskan 3 mths ago
        You know - she did NOT ask to have this come back to haunt her - - it is the PBS documentary that has shoved her back in the limelight. I don't see her as being on a par with the Kardashian slime at all - - I am sure she hates having this 'news' again! Give her a break!
    • Mitoosense  •  3 mths ago
      I liked it better when the President screwed the help and not the people
      • Ivy 3 mths ago

    • gary  •  Marietta, Georgia  •  2 mths ago
      Slick Willy must be a pirate .. because when Monica got serious he yelled out loudly " Thar she blows ! "
    • nicetan  •  Brewster, Massachusetts  •  3 mths ago

    • Saki  •  3 mths ago
      Wow give the president a #$%$ and you become famous!!! What is wrong with this world??????
    • Mon-Chu'  •  3 mths ago
      Monica says to her dry cleaner who is hard of hearing:
      "Can you get this stain out?"
      "Come again?"
      "No, mustard."
    • s2kreno  •  3 mths ago
      Hey, I'd rather have a president who skrooz interns than one who skrooz me!
    • ed  •  Santa Monica, California  •  3 mths ago
      wow...Monica is all grown up now. It seems like just yesterday that she was crawling around the Oval Office on her hands and knees.
    • Generic  •  3 mths ago
      If she'd soaked that dress in cold, and washed in warm, there wouldn't have been a stain!!
    • Sean  •  2 mths ago
      Bubba first met Monica in the Blew room
    • PaulV  •  Richardson, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      I understand she is now a Republican. She says that the Democrats left a bad taste in her mouth.
    • jkeyner  •  Los Angeles, California  •  3 mths ago
      Wait, was she really a well paid operative, or just another sucker?
    • Dan  •  Inglewood, California  •  3 mths ago
      Another perfect example of - what Americans care about - Kim, Kardashian, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Monica Lewinski, etc., etc. In other words who's sucking who and how much fame and money could that bring to the sucker. What a country !
    • JimmyJ  •  3 mths ago
      Oh those were the good old days.
    • mo mo mokie  •  3 mths ago
