Actress Gina Gershon's representative has slammed a new Vanity Fair article that suggests she had an affair with former president Bill Clinton.

The July issue of the magazine features a report by journalist Todd S. Purdum, in which he alludes to Clinton's infidelity following his recovery from heart surgery in 2004.

The article goes on to insinuate that Clinton made frequent stopovers in California to "visit" Gershon.

But Gershon's spokesperson Mara Buxbaum has blasted the story and is demanding her client's name be removed from the piece.

She fumes: "Todd Purdum's insinuation is a lie and is irresponsible journalism. We are demanding a retraction."

Clinton has also responded to the allegations, branding Purdum "dishonest" and "slimy" for suggesting he has continued to cheat on his wife Senator Hillary Clinton, who is running for president in the November 2008 elections.

Clinton was caught having inappropriate relations with White House intern Monica Lewinsky in 1998, while he was still in office.
