Malia and Sasha - Breaking Promises Already

trix — Mon, 04 May 2009 11:33:00 GMT

It's nice to know that Sasha and Malia Obama are just like every other kid out there when it comes to promises they make.

It seems the girls are slacking on their daily doggie duties. Michelle says, "Even though the kids are supposed to do a lot of the work, I'm still up at 5:15 a.m. taking my dog out. So for everyone who has a child asking for a puppy – you have to want the dog."

So the first family is just like mine and yours, with us parents left holding the bag and cleaning up after our kids and their most fervent wishes.

Are the Obamas Cheapskates?

Michelle Obama Weighs in On BO

trix — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Bo Obama has been in the White House for a week and the verdict is in.

Michelle Obama says the dog is "Crazy."

She said that "Bo" loves to bark and play and also likes to chew on people's feet. She did say, she is spending lots of time walking and training Bo.

I bet the girls just love him, I wonder whose bed he sleeps on or if he's relegated to a dog house.

So I was going to do the whole, do you know who my parents are, thing with this picture, but I think it's sort of obvious.

Malia looks exactly the same and happens to look just like her mom.

Here are a couple more pictures, just for fun...

They are too cute.

Jamie Foxx is Okay After Fight With Stalker

trix — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 20:02:00 GMT

What's up with Hollywood stalkers lately? They can't just sit by and innocently stalk anymore, they feel the need to attack?

First it was Shawn Johnson and now it's Jamie Foxx.

Jamie Foxx actually fought his stalker in his hotel room. The unknown male tried to break into his room, at least three times. The guy also claimed to be Beyonce's producer and Jamie had to physically fight with the guy to get him out of his room.

Thank goodness his kids weren't with him. That would be so traumatizing for them and Jamie might have had to take further action to protect his kids.

He did say that though he can't talk about it, he is fine and is glad that it's over.

Me too... How stressful and scary.

Is Miley Cyrus Too Good For The Obamas?

trix — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:30:00 GMT

Okay, so it's really hard for the Obama girls to head out to the movies like every other little girl out there so they asked Miley Cyrus if she be willing to send them a copy of the movie for a White House Screening.

Guess what the brat with a sense of entitlement said, she said NO!

Miley said, "They want me to send them a copy, so we will - but, like everyone else, they have to wait 'til April 10th. Even the President."

Wow! I guess she won't ever be invited to the White House, poor girl, she really thinks something of herself doesn't she?

Michelle Obama Wants To Be A Role Model

trix — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:32:00 GMT

So, I think we've all done the Michelle Obama isn't pregnant thing to death.

What we haven't discussed though, is her dedication to her workout regimen. Not only is she determined to be in the best shape of her life, she wants her daughters to, " See a mother who takes care of herself, even if that means I have to get up at 4:30 so I can do a workout."

She also described Barack's excitement at Sasha's interest in basketball, "Barack's losing his mind, I was like, 'Settle down - don't act too excited, or she will not want to do it.'"

That's awesome, my husband and I try to take a little time each day to stop and play and do something physical with our boys for the same reason.

Barack Obama Opens Up About Sasha's Health Scare

trix — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:32:00 GMT

Last week Barack Obama told all of the internet how much he loves nurses. He went on to explain why he loves them during Thursday's Internet town-hall meeting.

He went on to explain that, “When Sasha, our little precious pea, was just three months old, she was hospitalized with life-threatening meningitis. The doctors did a terrific job, but frankly, it was the nurses that were there with us when she had to get a spinal tap and all sorts of things that were just bringing me to tears. And we’ve got a problem in this country, which is we have a shortage of nurses.”

”I’m biased toward nurses. “I just like nurses.”

It's such a scary situation when your child is in the hospital. You have no control and all you want to do is take their place.

I didn't know that Sasha was sick when she was little, maybe the Obamas do know what it's like to be the rest of us.

Michelle Obama Towers Over Other Women

trix — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:03:00 GMT

Two famous moms got together to laugh it up while is Washington D.C. while promoting and celebrating Women's History Month.

Michelle Obama and Sheryl Crow were photographed together, both all decked out in black.

How tiny is Sheryl Crow, that she can wear heels and still be shorter than Michelle Obama, who happens to be wearing flats? She's at least 4 inches shorter with heels and I can't quite tell how tall her shoes are, but it definitely has a sizable heel.

There's nothing like being the tall one of the bunch, I'm tall and have never felt delicate, I'm sure Michelle Obama has the same feelings at times.

Sasha and Malia are going to be really tall, good thing their mom is tall. She will be able to help them not feel as awkward as they might, growing up.

Barack and Michelle Obama are Still Parents First

trix — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:32:00 GMT

How long did your parent teacher conference last this year, 5 to 10 minutes? Was your child's teacher awed by your presence?

No, mine either.

I'm guessing this wasn't the case for Sasha Obama's parent teacher conference. President and Michelle Obama were at the school for about an hour and I'm sure Sasha was thankful the press wasn't allowed inside.

That was, of course, the right decision. Sasha is probably a great student, but no one wants the whole world to know their kid's business in school.

Kudos to the President for attending the conference as well because, he could have just said, you go Michelle, tell Sasha I love her.

And here he is with his pregnant wife Jennifer Meyers, who is looking a little less sweet than Ruby.

If this is an argument it is looking pretty one-sided, which makes Tobey Maguire nothing short of genius. That's Husband 101 right there.

Look Who Gets to Keep His Blackberry

trix — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:32:00 GMT

President Obama has won a major battle already and it has only been 4 days. He fought for it and now he gets to keep his Blackberry. Yay! for him.

Barack Obama admitted in the past that he is addicted to his Blackberry and wasn't sure what he was going to do if he became president and had to give it up. Now he doesn't have to.

He will be allowed to use his Blackberry to keep in touch with personal friends, senior staff and will be able to receive emails.

It's funny that the most powerful man in the world can't have a phone, it's like he gets all his information second hand. I wonder if he ever has to carry a wallet or man bag to hold all his stuff.

Ah, who am I kidding, he has people for that.

White House Spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said the president will limit its use, and security has been enhanced to ensure that Obama can communicate in a way that's protected. Only a small number of senior staff members and personal friends would be given his e-mail address.

Previous presidents chose not to use e-mail because it can be subpoenaed by Congress and courts and may be subject to public records laws. And Gibbs said the presumption from the White House counsel's office is that Obama's e-mails will be subject to the Presidential Records Act, which requires the National Archives to preserve presidential records.

MC Harvey Arrested For Threatening To Kill Javine Hylton

Karen — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:34:00 GMT

Rapper MC Harvey was arrested after holding a knife to Javine Hylton's throat and threatening to kill her. Hylton gave birth to the couple's daughter, Angel, in February.

Hylton is said to have been furious with Harvey after he failed to come home one night, so she threw all of his clothes out into the street.

One source told The Sun: "Harvey went nuts and a huge row kicked off. He grabbed a knife in the heat of the moment and threatened to kill Javine, who was terrified." Hylton called 999 and Harvey was subsequently arrested.

A pal revealed: "She regretted calling the police and didn't want Harvey to get in any serious trouble.

"He certainly didn't mean to cause her any harm. Things just got out of hand." A Metropolitan Police spokesman said:

"Police arrested a 29-year-old man in Dollis Hill Lane at 00.50am on 28 July following allegations of threatening behaviour to a woman in her early 20's.

"The man was subsequently cautioned for an offence of common assault."

Hugh Jackman Attacked!

The question of attacking Hugh Jackman is not one to be taken lightly. First of all, why would you want to? He seems like a great guy.

Second, there's a very good chance that the Wolverine star could break most of us in half with two fingers. He's buff.

There is only one legit reason to attack Hugh Jackman, and better yet, to get away with it- he's your dad. Get him good, kids.

Brad Pitt is Grossed Out

Whit Honea — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:31:00 GMT

The Enquirer's Mike Walker is reporting that Angelina Jolie invited her brother James Haven to be in the delivery room when the twins are born and Brad Pitt isn't having it.

Writes Walker, "My spy reports that Brad Pitt recoiled in horror when two in the oven Angie suddenly informed him that...she'd invited her beloved bro' to bear witness with them in the birthing room when the Jolie-Pitt angels touch down on Earth! Shocked to the core by Angelina's edict, Brad refused - instantly and angrily - triggering a battle royal between the couple, with Angelina insisting that "Uncle Jimmy" should be right there at Ground Zero to experience the emotion of seeing his nieces born, and Brad fuming: "It's just plain weird and it ain't gonna happen! He can be there, but not in the room!""

Walker says that Angelina eventually let Brad have his way.

I've got two issues with this story, first of all, why does Mike Walker sound like a 1930's newsie? Second, what the hell was Angelina thinking? I'm Camp Pitt on this one, that's just gross.

Tim McGraw and the Wife Beaters

Whit Honea — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 20:02:00 GMT

Dear Josh Homme, this is how you kick someone out of a concert.

Tim McGraw was performing on stage last night when he noticed some big, probably drunk, cowboy harassing a lady in the audience and had him pulled onstage before being kicked out. Actually, McGraw pulled him on stage and came pretty close to punching the idiot before returning to the microphone and going on with business as usual. That's professional, Holmes, er, Homme.

Just goes to show you that Tim McGraw is a classy guy, and while he won't stand still for a wife beater, he sure can wear the hell out of one.

Matthew McConaughey Is Ready To Rumble

HerBadMother — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:27:00 GMT

You don't mess with McConaughey. You mess with McConaughey? His posse will git you.

It all started last weekend when some paparazzi ('paproids', apparently) pursued dad-to-be Matthew while he was surfing. According to Rush & Malloy:

The actor was surfing at Paradise Cove when a group of paparazzi arrived on the beach and started snapping away. The surfers told the "paproids" to leave and got physical when they didn't, allegedly breaking one lensman's nose and throwing his camera into the sea. The attack was, of course, recorded.

It gets worse.

Video of incident was posted at paparazzi site X17, and a cyber-rumble has since broken out between paps and surfers, all of whom are egging each other in comments and promising to meet at the same spot to settle the score mano a mano (or would that be camera to surfboard? Am unclear on the details.)

More than 1,000 angry back-and-forth comments between the lensmen and the surfers have been logged, including one urging paparazzi to "rendezvous next Saturday in the same spot. 50 paps are going to meet u there. Good luck and enjoy the high waves." A surfer responds, "Bring it on, paps. It will be the end for you on the beach. Saturday is on."

The spat has also, apparently, turned somewhat racist, as the mostly white surfer crowd takes on the paparazzi community, which includes many members from immigrant communities (the racist commentary cuts both ways: "I'm a pap," one wrote. "I've made $94K a year and I'm only four months into it ... because stupid white trash people like your fat mother buy the magazines. We hunt the very people you worship for no reason.")

CRAZY. It's like some twisted variation on Point Break, except with the surfers busting cameras and protecting celebrities instead of robbing banks. (Matthew McConaughey, btw? Could totally play that Patrick Swayze role. Somebody needs to do a remake, stat.) My money's on the paparazzi, though. Those dudes have grappled with Britney, people. Surfers will be nothing.

Jack Black is a Silly Ol' Bear

Whit Honea — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:53:00 GMT

While I don't think Jack Black is all stuffed with fluff (there's a beer or two in there), I think it's safe to say that he has become the bear. It's great to see an actor so attached to a character, especially an animated one. Although I'm surprised he's going full fur right now. Facial hair and babies make for a dangerous mix, and this is from experience, either the kid gets scratched or his unbreakable grasp tries to pull the beard off one handful at a time. Trust me, it hurts.

BTW, Jack, there are some extremely large men behind you. You may have to bust out some Kung Fu- those poor bastards.

Matthew McConaughey's Pregnant Girlfriend Enjoys a Beer

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 May 2008 22:36:00 GMT

Matthew McConaughey may have given up beer, but that doesn't mean his pregnant girlfriend Camila Alves has. Hey, she has a designated driver, why not!

To be fair, we don't know that the beer looking substance in the official beer cup of Dodgers Stadium is actually beer. It could be pee or expired ginger ale. Worse, it could be non-alcoholic beer which is about as useless as decaf coffee or fake bacon (facon?).

I'm not one to judge a woman having a small nip of something as her pregnancy progresses. Hell, we had plenty of nurses suggest that my wife have an occasional glass of wine towards the end of her pregnancies, but none of them mentioned tossing back some brews in the sun at the ol' ballgame. I couldn't even get them to say it was okay for me to do. What's up with that?
