Bill Clinton on Gore, Shatner, and Spears

SAME HAIR COLORIST? Clinton, Spears (inset)

Bill Clinton embarked on a pop culture-packed presentation on Friday, covering everything from Al Gore's movie to William Shatner's acting chops. He even took the opportunity to compare those who fail to act on global climate change to terrorists and to scold the media for stalking buzz-cut Britney.

America's first baby-boomer president was the distinguished guest speaker for introduction of a new lineup of shows on TV Land, the self-proclaimed "ultimate baby-boomer brand." After the requisite spousal support, Clinton sounded to many at the Frederick P. Rose Hall in Manhattan's Time Warner Center like an Al Gore acolyte. He called Grey's Anatomy his favorite TV show and billed the dynamic between James Spader and Shatner on Boston Legal as "something to behold." Later, he spoke at length about the threat of global warming as exposed in An Inconvenient Truth, winner of a "well-deserved Oscar."

Then things got interesting as the ex-prez got green.
