Gorbachev's Warning: Bend or Be Banned; Anti-Palin Tell-All Leaked To Media
BLITZER: A cold war icon is now weighing in on the situation in Libya as well. Lisa Sylvester is here. She's monitoring that and some of the other top stories in the SITUATION ROOM. Lisa, what's the latest?</s>LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Wolf. Well, start bending to the will of the people or they might run you out of the country. That is the message today from former soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev to Libya's Muammar Gaddafi. In Moscow, the Nobel Piece Prize winner called Gaddafi's violent reaction to the Libyan uprising ruthless. Gorbachev warned that people are trying to get -- people who are trying to get out of poverty have nothing to lose. An upcoming and unflattering tell-all book leaked over the weekend described Sarah Palin as the governor who hated her job and allegedly broke campaign election laws. "The Anchorage Daily News" says the manuscript was written by former Palin aide, Frank Bailey. The book alleges Palin violated campaign law by collaborating with the Republican Governor's Association on a political ad back in 2006. The former Alaskan governor isn't expected to respond. And it will be an intimate little gathering of more or less 1,000 family members and friends. Invitations are in the mail for the wedding of Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton. Reportedly on the guest list, we have it here, soccer star, David Beckham and his wife, ex-Spice Girl, Victoria, the king of Bahrain, singer Elton John, and rapper, Kanye West. Reportedly not invited, President Obama and Aunt Sarah Ferguson who says that she has not received an invitation. The royal wedding will be held at Westminster Abbey, April 29th, and I haven't gotten that invitation. I'm guessing, Wolf, you haven't gotten the invitation, but you did get an invitation to the all-star game.</s>BLITZER: I was at the NBA All-Star Game. I was happy about that. I'm wondering if our own Piers Morgan has an -- I'm sure he's going to be invited to the wedding. I have no doubt about that. Let's see if he gets -- if he shares the actual invitation with all of our viewers. I'm looking forward to seeing the actual copy of the invi -- you have no doubt that Piers is going to be invited to the wedding, right?</s>SYLVESTER: You know, they have something like more than 1,000 people. I think I saw the number 1,800 people invited to this wedding. So, it's possible that he, you know, we'll have to watch and see if he tweets about it, Wolf.</s>BLITZER: You can follow him at @PiersMorgan, all one word or you can follow me @WolfBlitzerCNN, all one word as well. We'll see who gets that invitation. I'm not going -- I'm sure I'm not going to get one. I suspect he will. He probably has it already. Well, watch his show tonight to see if he shows the invitation to all of our viewers here on CNN. All right. Thanks very much, Lisa, for that. We're following on a very, very serious note the breaking news out of Libya right now and the unrest across the region. Muammar Gaddafi, will he fall? Is he on the brink right now? And will Iran be next? What could it all mean for the United States? Fouad Ajami, the Middle East scholar standing by. And four Americans seized by pirates. The U.S. navy is now on the trail.
