Michelle Obama Hanging on Sesame Street

Karl Erikson — Wed, 06 May 2009 20:36:00 GMT

The First Lady paid a visit to Sesame Street yesterday and we've got the picture to prove it! Michelle Obama was there to film a public service announcement with Elmo for Sesame Workshop's Healthy Habits for Life initiative. She and the First Muppet spoke about eating right, getting regular exercise, and being a positive role model for kids.

I think the red really makes Michelle pop, what do you think?

Obama Girls May Get An Easter Puppy

Josh loposer — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Dude, I'm so jealous that Malia and Sasha are getting a freakin puppy.

As you might expect, people are obsessed with the Obamas' style of parenting, what type of dog they will get, and what -- if anything besides candy -- they will get their daughters for Easter. After a thorough grilling of the First Lady's office by reporters, White House spokespeople refused clear up the shroud of mystery surrounding the mythical first dog.

Press secretary Katie McCormick Lelyveld would only give us this much: "definitely not this week." Of course, Sunday is the first day of next week.

We do know this much: President Obama told Jay Leno that as soon as he got back from his trip overseas "the dog will be in place." Well here he is ... and he seems to have synched up the timing pretty well with the arrival of the Easter bunny. I can't help but notice.

We also know that there's a lot of speculation going around that Ted Kennedy is involved in the secret plot to deliver the dog -- and that he was instrumental in helping the Obamas pick out a breed: a Portuguese water dog. Senator Kennedy has two of them.

Michelle Obama on the Cover of Vogue

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 22:05:00 GMT

Michelle Obama is being heralded as a modern-day fashion icon, and now here's proof: the new First Lady will be appearing on the cover of the March issue of Vogue magazine. Mrs. Obama appears wearing a magenta silk sheath dress by Jason Wu, who also designed her inaugural gown.

Not surprisingly much of the interview, conducted by Vogue editor at large Leon Talley, centers around Mrs. Obama's self-appointed title as "mom in chief" to daughters 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha.

"I'm going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can," she said. "But there's also a measure of independence. And obviously there will be times I won't be able to drop them off at all. I like to be a presence in my kids' school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents."

I can't wait to read the interview with our new First Lady, who seems so refreshingly down-to-earth and devoted to her family. Finally, a reason to buy Vogue again.

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Obama Girls

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:05:00 GMT

Sasha and Malia Obama, fresh off their Inauguration night visit from the Jonas Brothers, continue their world domination of all teenage girls' dreams. The First Daughters have been invited by Harry Potter himself on a private tour of Hogwarts. Pretty cool!

Potter star Daniel Radcliffe described President Obama as, "everything the rest of the world liked about America and now likes again,” and wants to show his admiration by giving Sasha and Malia a little star treatment.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to issue a public invitation to the Obamas that if their daughters would like a private tour of the Harry Potter set, I would be honored to be their personal tour guide," Radcliffe said.

Radcliffe, who is set to begin filming the final installment in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is optimistic for America's future under Obama. "He is a symbol of progress which is what we dig about this country. What you love about England is all the old buildings and such. The traditions. I love that, too. But this is what we want from you."

With the girls rubbing elbows with so many celebrities lately, could a future in show biz be far beind? Probably not - First Lady Michelle doesn't seem like a stage mom, and certainly not the type to let any of this go to her daughters' heads.

Although, seeing Sasha and Malia host Saturday Night Live - how awesome would that be? Hey, just throwing it out there.

Macy Gray Does NOT Want to Have Barack Obama's Babies

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:17:00 GMT

Okay, I'm a fan of Macy Gray's music, but half the time she looks like she's walking around mumbling and wearing her bathrobe. So it didn't surprise me when Page Six ran a tidbit about something the singer said about our new President.

"I'm in love with Barack Obama...I wanna get married - like, I wanna have his kids," Gray says on an episode of the upcoming series Head Case. "Why am I not Michelle, you know what I mean? Who the [bleep] is she? You know, why can't I be her?"

But now Macy is fighting back and throwing her bedroom slippers at Page Six, saying that her quotes were taken out of context and were part of a scripted show.

"I portray a character in the Starz comedy series Head Case, which is a produced show about a wacky psychiatrist who is wackier than her patients," she said in a statement. "My character admits that she thinks Obama is hot. It is innocent and funny."

She continued, "The quotes printed by Page Six were taken completely out of context and needs to be recognized that it is dialogue from a scripted television program. It's ridiculous."

"I respect and love our new president and his family just as you do and would never disrespect them in any way."

Thanks for clearing that up, Macy. But I don't want to be around when you hear the news that Michelle Obama is pregnant.

People's Best Dressed Celebrities List

Karl Erikson — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 11:31:00 GMT

Like Blackstone's annual list of the best and worst dressed celebs, People has their own annual version and it's hitting the stands next week. I'm far more interested in their Worst Dressed List, but they haven't yet released that. So you'll just have to settle for their ten Best Dressed List, some of whom are favorite celeb moms here at Famecrawler. Take a gander.

FERGIE

A pretty girl, she's dressing much better lately than she did years back when she started with the Black Eyed Peas. She's finally learned that some things are best left to the imagination.

ANNE HATHAWAY

Doesn't know how to pick boyfriends worth a damn, but she sure rocks the glamour in fashion. She reminds me of a 21st century Audrey Hepburn.

KATE HUDSON

She'd have a hard time trying to look like crap. She's adorable, even if she has no earthly idea how to select a good movie script. Seriously, Dane Cook? Are you TRYING to fail, Kate?

HEIDI KLUM

Gorgeous in most anything she wears, she certainly belongs on the Runway.

EVA MENDES

I've had a crush on Eva ever since I first saw her in "Hitch." Muy caliente!

MICHELLE OBAMA

Michelle looks elegant, confident, and like a primo potential First Lady. I hope to see her on Saturday in Jacksonville. One of my best friends is trying to convert me into an Obamamaniac. She's got a hard sell in front of her. Still, Michelle is classy all the way.

GWYNETH PALTROW

She could use some more meat on her bones, but Gwyneth is a top-notch actress who knows how to wear a frock.

SARAH JESSICA PARKER

Hard to believe this is the same girl that used to play in the sitcom "Square Pegs." Anyone else remember that? Nowadays, she's got a new face and a new style all her own. Thanks to designers, of course.

RIHANNA

Beautiful girl with a hairdo that all the ladies seem to be stealing.

CHARLIZE THERON

Knows how to bring the drama on screen and off. Saw her on "The View" the other day and she is just stunning. Except for in that movie "Monster." That was an amazing job they did with the makeup. At least I'm saying it was makeup because if that's what Charlize looks like WITHOUT makeup...well, I can't even consider that.

Michelle Obama Tells All!

Whit Honea — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:25:00 GMT

Michelle Obama, the next First Lady, is featured today on Babble in an interview with Anita Doberman.

It's a great interview with an interesting woman discussing politics and family.

Some highlights:

On protecting their kids in the media Obama replies, "We protect them the best as we can. We're figuring it out. We've gotten some great advice from people like Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore, who have been in this situation before and handled it wonderfully."

On Barack's passion for pushing family values, "... he is determined to change Washington, so that instead of just talking about family values, we actually implement policies that value families."

Read the interview here.

Scarlett Johansson Has Great Endorsements

Whit Honea — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 18:34:00 GMT

There are two things that I've always loved about Scarlett Johansson. No, that's not me in the picture.

Now I have a third item to add to the list.

"My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes."

Of course she was joking while dodging a question about her rumored engagement to Ryan Reynolds.

FYI, Obama is a happily married man. Still, that's got to feel good on the ego.

I think she could give Bruni a run for the title.
