 Al Gore's surprising split from wife Tipper was prompted by an affair he was having with Larry David's environmental activist wife, Star magazine claims. Pick up the new issue of Star tomorrow for our complete story of how the pair, who have been fighting for the environment for years and worked together on Al's 2006 Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, fell hard for one another — and if Tipper had any clue. "Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," Star quotes an unnamed insider as saying. "It couldn't be avoided." 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. The Gores' stunning split after 40 years of marriage has prompted wildly varying explanations in the gossip sheets: Globe magazine said Al was gay, and the National Enquirer said Tipper was crazy.
– Star magazine weighs in today with a juicy rumor grabbing all kinds of attention: Al Gore broke up with Tipper because he was having an affair with Larry David's ex-wife. The tabloid says Al has been having a fling with Laurie David—an environmental activist who co-produced An Inconvenient Truth—for two years. It quotes an "insider" as saying, “Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers. It couldn’t be avoided." No word from the Gores, but a family friend tells the Daily News the story is "complete crap." The Davids have been divorced since 2007.
