Secrets don't make friends.

As we can tell in this photograph, Russian President Vladimir Putin has no interest in assisting the Queen of England. U.S. President Barack Obama and New Zealand’s Governor-General Jerry Mateparae seem to be the only gentleman as they help Queen Elizabeth II down the steps during the D-Day Memorial. Looks like Putin is contemplating what he's going to be having for dinner later tonight.

Most of Hollywood seems to lean towards the liberal side of the political Spectrum.

It can get very windy over in London. Queen Elizabeth is already used to the wind which is why she's always wearing her stylish hats. however First Lady Michelle Obama is not quite as used to the wind gusts and is seen here looking like a member of the rock band Kiss.

President Barack Obama has been known to be quite the Smooth Criminal. In this photo we see an awkward exchange between Aung San Suu Kyi and the U.S. president.

The security detail can protect the First Minister of Scotland from gunfire, but not from random flying soccer balls it seems. First Minister Alex Salmond does not seem to possess any sort of natural athleticism as this ball bounces straight off his noggin. Next time a heads-up call might be greatly appreciated.

This appears to be the local Diner that Vice President Joe Biden frequently visits. He seems very comfortable here and familiar with the patrons.

Not the night that Bill wanted to be posing for the cameras. He looks like he just came off a 2-week bender. Either that or this is the result of living with Hillary Clinton as your wife. Hopefully he'll have a little more time free up after this years election, for Bill's sake!

When you start poppin Viagra this is what happens. We already know Bill is a horny guy, but this guy just can't get enough.

This little girl is not amused. Hillary tries to make a funny joke to make the little girl smile but instead it just made herself laugh while the little girl rolls her eyes in disapproval. Some of these kids are really hard to impress with all the humor they see in these cartoons nowadays.

Rahm Israel is the 55th mayor of Chicago. in this photo he is getting just a tad too cozy with Obama's Chief of Staff and Madam Speaker of the House.

It's no secret that Senator John McCain is not the biggest fan of our current president. Whatever is going on in this picture it certainly does not make the senator look good.

Yes, our current commander in chief is a happily married man, but that does not mean he has gone blind! You better believe that whoever that woman is, she has this shot framed and hanging in every room of her home. No better confidence boost than having POTUS check out your assets.

In this great shot Hillary gets caught checking out a very nice rack. I mean it's Christina Aguilera so it's kind of hard to fault Hillary for her wandering eyes. With Christina wearing a dress like that though it would be difficult for any pair of eyes to maintain eye contact with the diva. Anyone who have that big of a grin on their face!

Kate Middleton shows off her Marilyn Monroe pose thanks to a sneaky gust of wind and a perfectly positioned photographer. The Duchess of Cambridge try keeping her dress down but had very little success.

If you know about the scandal that almost got Bill Clinton impeached then you already know exactly what is going on in this picture. The photo was taken only moments after his press conference about the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Bill doesn't need to look to his right to know full well the look that his wife is currently giving him. Not just for cheating on her but for being an idiot and doing it while he was the president of the United States.
