Al Gore has been cleared of sexual abuse charges in Portland, Oregon. The Portland District Attorney determined that the former Vice President did not commit acts of sexual harassment that warranted prosecution, reports ABC News.

Senior Deputy DA Don Rees questioned one of Gore's accusers for selling her story to a tabloid and failing a polygraph test, and she said in a statement, "This case is not appropriate for criminal prosecution. The matter is closed and the investigative materials will be returned to PPB [the Portland Police Bureau]."

Gore's spokeswoman, Kalee Kreider, issued the following statement:

"Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago. He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved."

Two more massage therapists are coming forward to claim the former Vice President sexually harassed them.

One incident supposedly took place at a Beverly Hills hotel when Gore was in town to attend the 2007 Oscars, according to the National Enquirer.

A source at the hotel says:

"The therapist claimed that when they were alone, Gore shrugged off a towel and stood naked in front of her. He pointed at his erect penis and ordered her, 'Take care of THIS.'"

The second was reportedly a similar situation but happened at a hotel in Tokyo a year later.

The initial suit, brought on by a masseuse in Portland, Oregon, who claimed Gore tried to initiate "unwanted sexual contact" with her in October of 2006 was recently dropped due to "insufficient evidence."

Al Gore has announced a separation from his wife, Tipper, after 40 years of marriage.

The former Vice President and his soon-to-be ex announced the split to friends via e-mail.

In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” obtained by the AP, the couple said:

“We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

The couple shared an awkward kiss during his nomination for president at the 2000 Democratic National Convention. Gore eventually lost the presidency to George Bush in a highly contested election.

What, you thought it was all shapely young starlets on the red carpet last night? Former Vice President (and Oscar-feted documentary subject) Al Gore may be many things to many people, but "shapely" and "young" ain't on the list. (I guess that's why he brought his daughter Kristen - well, either that or the former VP needed some jokes from his Futurama-scripting little girl!
