Date Night For Barack And Michelle Obama

Sassy Smith — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:08:00 GMT

President Obama and First Lady Michelle, after attending daughter Malia's soccer match, decided to enjoy some couple time, since Barack had "promised" his wife that he would take her to a Broadway show after the election. They boarded a C-20 plane and flew to New York, Saturday afternoon, May 30.

From Us:

The Obama's first stop?

New York's West Village neighborhood, where they dined at Bluehill Restaurant.

Fellow diner Eva Fleischer of Manhattan said she "had no idea" the Obamas would be there when she made her 5:30 p.m. reservations.

"They had to pat us down," she told reporters outside the restaurant, which is known for its "locally grown fare."

As the Obamas left, Fleischer recalled, the President said to her table, "'Hi, guys!' It was very exciting because we didn't expect to see him here. It was really neat."

Another diner, Susan Korchak of Manhattan, noted that Michelle "is very tall. She's just statuesque and gorgeous."

Fan went wild as the two exited the restaurant. Blockades were set up to keep the crowds of people at bay on the streets. Several people weren't allowed to cross the street to get back to their apartment, but they were happy to wait it out. Dads had their kids up on their shoulders; others had their cameras out, hoping to catch a picture. There was even a helicopter flying in the sky. Some onlookers remarked that it was like the inauguration all over again.

After dinner, the Obamas then went to the Belasco Theater on West 44th Street, where they caught a performance of Joe Turner's Come and Gone - about a group of African-Americans coming to grips with the legacy of slavery - before flying back to the White House.

The Obamas are certainly involved parents with their girls, but they realize it's important for couples to have quality time together as well!

Sarah Palin's Adult Film - Part Deux, Oh Geez

Josh loposer — Fri, 29 May 2009 21:02:00 GMT

What's a down-home, Alaskan hockey mom to do when she becomes the subject of not one, but (at least) two porno movies featuring a look-a-like? More importantly for Sarah Palin, how does her family deal with it?

With two of Sarah's daughters in public school -- Willow, 14, and Piper, 8 -- you've got to know they are the butt of some Nailin' Palin jokes. Not to mention, other parents joking behind your back at the PTA meetings and hockey games. Once you become a national public figure, your whole family just has to develop thick skin to this type of thing.

The second installment of the Nailin' Palin series, entitled Hollywood is Nailin' Palin is set debut later this year -- going straight to DVD of course. Once again, adult star Lisa Ann will play the part of Alaska's conservative governor. The story of Hollywood is Nailin' Palin however, manages to be tons more creative and celebrity savvy.

Allegedly, the plot picks up just after the governor's bid for the Vice Presidency. After her defeat, she decides to try her luck in Hollywood where she meets (and more, I'm assuming) stars like David Hasselhoff and Samantha Ronson on her way to stardom, including her own reality show America's Top Governor. Ha!

I love the way Hustler stamped the words "this is a parody," just in case anyone got confused and thought Sarah Palin actually participated in the production.

Michelle Obama: White House Living Has Been Good For Malia & Sasha

Sassy Smith — Sun, 24 May 2009 16:07:00 GMT

First Lady Michelle Obama says living in the White House has had a surprisingly calming influence on their whole family. Daughters, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, have enjoyed a thoroughly positive experience thus far.

Mrs. Obama spoke with Time magazine and here is some of the interview via PEOPLE:

When it comes to living in the Executive Mansion, the First Lady tells Time magazine for its latest issue, on sale Friday, "It has been the greatest single benefit of this for us as a family. It means that we see each other every day. And that hasn't happened for most of the kids' lifetime."

As the wife of Illinois's junior senator, Mrs. Obama was once asked if she would consider a move to Washington, D.C. "I was like, no," she remembers. Now, she's enjoying having the man of the house at home.

"It's rare [for most families] to have dad at home for dinner, to see him in the mornings, to have him there when you go to bed at night, just to be able to have the casual conversations that happen about life at dinnertime," says Mrs. Obama. "That's been terrific. It's normal. It's more normal than we've had for a very long time.

Still, it is the White House. On maintaining their perspective and keeping the family intact, Mrs. Obama says, "We stay 100 percent in their world all the time. And I don't know if you understand that, but their lives are very disconnected from this [place]. You can do that with kids when they are young, because they just don't care."

The Chief Executive agrees. "Among the many wonderful things about being President," Barack Obama tells Time, "the best is that I get to live above the office and see Michelle and the kids every day. I see them in the morning. We have dinner every night. It is the thing that sustains me."

He also takes work breaks for what he terms "Michelle time," when retreats from his office to the residence. Every now and then, his wife shows up in the West Wing with family dog Bo or the kids for what the magazine calls "a brief but lively interruption."

"And if the kids really, really need to see him, they can," she says. "They're free to walk in. They're welcome wherever they want to go around here."

People's 5 Things You Didn't Know About Michelle Obama

Sassy Smith — Sat, 23 May 2009 14:07:00 GMT

We have seen First Lady Michelle Obama in action: She's a strong, independent woman who can combine work and motherhood, and make it seem so easy, even though it's no simple task. She also has a fun side and has revealed some interesting tidbits about herself!

From PEOPLE:.

Here's some little-known fun facts on our toned-armed ambassador of style.

1. She's the 'Sexiest' First Lady
The mother of two is the first First Lady to be ranked on Maxim's Hot 100 list, besting Melissa Rycroft and Padma Lakshmi, at No. 93! "Our Commander in Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States," the magazine declares.

2. She's a Hugger
The First Lady touches and hugs as many people as she can – especially kids. "I think if I touch them and I hug them, that they'll see that it's real," she explained to Time, "and then they'll relax and breathe and actually kind of enjoy the time and make use of it."

3. She Gave Up Major Dough for the White House
Although she's dubbed herself "Mom-in-Chief," the Harvard-educated lawyer gave up a $212,000 gig to take on the unpaid role of First Lady. "I know women who have given up a lot of themselves," she told Time. "And there were times in my marriage where I put stuff aside. This isn't one of those times."

4. She's Got Skills!
To celebrate spring break, the Obamas gathered with friends and family at Camp David, where they played charades and had a talent showdown. Michelle flaunted her Hula-Hooping skills, juggling not one, but two hoops, while the President sang Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life."

5. Her Personal Trainer Relocated to D.C.
Those arms didn't grow overnight! When she moved to the White House, the First Lady made sure she brought her personal trainer of about 10 years along for the ride. The sculptor of those arms relocated from Chicago to Washington, D.C., to assist Michelle with her workout routine.

President Obama: Dating My Daughters Won't Be Easy

Sassy Smith — Tue, 19 May 2009 15:06:00 GMT

President Barack Obama has huge responsibilities with running the country, but no matter what, he's a father first - worried about his little girls, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, particularly as they grow up before his eyes.

President Obama told Newsweek:

"Now, I worry about them when they're teenagers where, you know, you're already embarrassed about your parents and even more embarrassed on TV all the time."

Obama says dating won't be easy with his girls because of their situation.

"And dating I think will be an issue because I have men with guns surrounding them at all times," he said, laughing, "which I'm perfectly happy with, but they may feel differently about it."

The President says they're lucky to have such well-adjusted daughters.

"The nice thing is that, partly because of temperament, partly because of Michelle [Obama]'s unbelievable parenting skills, I've just got some happy, normal kids," he said. "And all that stuff that's going on around them, they just kind of miss. We have not seen any effects, any fishbowl effects, yet on them."

He added: "The truth of the matter is that the campaign was the equivalent of me being the frog in the saucepan of water and the temperature slowly being turned up. By the time the inauguration had taken place, we had pretty much gotten accustomed to it."

Obama,despite having a full schedule, makes time for his family. They have dinner together and he tucks the girls in at 8:30 p.m. and they have movie nights.

"It turns out we got this nice theater on the ground floor of my house… So Star Trek, we saw this weekend, which I thought was good," he said, making the Vulcan hand salute. "Everybody was saying I was Spock, so I figured I should check it out."

Michelle Obama's Comic Book Cover (PHOTO)

Sassy Smith — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:07:00 GMT

First Lady Michelle Obama can do it all - career, marriage, motherhood, and now she's going to be featured in a new biographical comic book titled Female Force: Michelle Obama "as she secures her place in American history," according to Bluewaters Productions.

There are no superpowers involved - unless you compare being a busy working mom with a superhero,which a lot of times, that is the case! With all the things women have to balance we certainly do deserve a red cape sometimes!

This comic book is the third in the series - the first two feature Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, which, both have done well and are in their third print run. Obama's comic is expected to outsell them both.

Darren Davis, Bluewaters president, said, "The reaction has been insane."

Michelle and President Obama's daughters, Malia and Sasha won't appear in the book - after the Ty Inc. controversy with the girls a few months ago, people know they're off-limits.

I do believe the girls will think it's pretty awesome that their mom is featured in a comic book!

The comic will be available on store shelves, Wednesday, April 29, for $3.99.

10 Things You May Not Know About The Obama's New Pup (VIDEO)

Sassy Smith — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 12:05:00 GMT

Malia and Sasha Obama are two happy little girls! They are now proud owners of a Portuguese Water Dog named Bo and were officially presented with the pooch on Tuesday, April 14.

Video & pics after the jump!

Here are 10 things you may not know about the Obama family's new dog:

10) Bo's orginal name was Charlie and sold by a Texas breeder on Dec. 8, 2008.

9) The pup was purchased by a family,who paid $1,600 for him, however, they were unable to keep him - he tried to nurse from their 6-year-old female Water Dog and things just didn't go well from there.

8) Senator Ted Kennedy purchased the pup (with the intention of giving it to the Obama family) after he was returned to the breeder - the original family was given their money back, all $1,600.

7) "Charlie" spent a month living with a professional dog trainer before going to the Obamas.

6) The entire Obama family will "take turns walking the dog" including President Obama!

5) President Obama won't allow Bo to sleep in his bed: "We set that rule down a long time ago," said Barack Obama.

4) Bo is already on his way to being well-trained. He can sit, goes down, shakes and rolls over. His trainer Dawn Sylvia said, "He sits very well, he does down very well. He shakes, he rolls over. He knows his off command, which means don’t touch. He understands wait."

3) Some in the animal shelter community are not happy that the Obamas chose a dog from a breeder instead of a rescue pet. Kim Saunders, co-founder of Petfinder.com said, "Bo seems like a great dog, but we were all hoping the President would lead by example."

2) Although Bo isn't a "rescue" animal, his particular breed was chosen because they are hypoallergenic - and Malia, 10, suffers from allergies and will fit well with their family.

1) Malia told reporters, "I love him. He's perfect." Even President Obama is smitten. He said, "He's got star quality. That's a good looking dog, let's face it."

The Obamas are expected to make a donation to a local Humane Society.

I remember the first time I became a pet owner as a kid - it was such an exciting day!

Britney Spears is Getting Married Y'all

trix — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:34:00 GMT

Wow, Britney really gets around. At least that's what the media would have us believe. Yes, that includes us here at Famecrawler, sorry.

First, she was linked to her manager, then her backup dancers, Geo and Chase, then on to her ex-hubby K-fed. Now is the best relationship though, because it includes an engagement ring. A big, sparkly, $4.5 million marquis cut, diamond ring.

Who's the guy? His name is John Sundahl and he is multi-millionaire land developer in Germany. How did the couple hook up? Apparently they dated in 2007 and he's been burning with love for her ever since. She just had to get a few things sorted out before they could really be together, forever. Things like her brain and her hangers on.

Mr. Sundahl's personal pilot let the world in on the situation. He said, "Britney and John used to date, but they reconnected after her show in New Jersey, and now they're engaged. He got down on one knee in a Subway sandwich shop in Santa Monica a week ago and proposed with a $4.5 million marquise-cut diamond that he bought at a Frankfurt jewelry store. They plan on getting married at his aunt's farm in Germany in six weeks. It's very hush-hush, even to the employees. He's even putting a $350K fence around the property."

The story gets better though. John Sundahl said, from his parents house in Santa Monica, " I don't want to talk about that", but then said, "Britney doesn't want to do anything until the tour is over. She wants press for her tour and not for an engagement."

Britney's people say there is no such plans and there was no proposal. It sounds as though she may have a stalker.

Crazy!!!

Do you think Brit Brit is engaged and getting married in 6 weeks? I'm gonna guess, NO!

Obama Family Dog Has Arrived! His Name Is Bo! (PHOTO)

Sassy Smith — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 17:32:00 GMT

Happy Easter to the First Family! After much anticipation, Sasha and Malia Obama have their new dog! The girls have named him - a 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog - Bo.

From PEOPLE:

First, the name. According to the Washington Post, which published confirmation of the White House dog news Sunday, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, chose the name because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because Mrs. Obama's father was nicknamed Diddley, as in Bo Diddley. The dog is a gift from Sen. Ted Kennedy, who owns three dogs of the same breed, known for high spirits and said to be a good fit for kids with allergies (such as Malia). Kennedy had been lobbying the Obamas to get a Portuguese Water Dog (or PWD) for months.

Sasha and Malia are said to be "delighted," and some details are still being worked out - such as where Bo will sleep and who will walk and feed him. The pup had made an earlier trip - dubbed "The Meeting" - to the White House and staff members said it was a success.

Earlier reports (and photos) that a pup, named "Charlie" would arrive on Tuesday, proved to be false.

Bo is said to have belonged to a family who was unable to keep him and because President Obama and First Lady Michelle didn't get a dog from a rescue shelter, they are said to be making a donation to the District of Columbia Humane Society.

What an exciting weekend for Sasha and Malia!

Britney Spears is desperately trying to keep it together while on tour and is finding it easier with her new "love" interest.

Is that him in the picture?

She has supposedly hooked up with several of her dancers and has stuck with dancer Chase Benz for some time.

I'm not sure how long she could have been sticking with him, since the tour just started last month.

Chase is a 21 year old from Tennessee and I've heard it's getting serious. She was probably drawn in by his southern accent and felt they had a lot in common because of their shared background.

Hopefully he's not another K-Fed and she's learned her lesson.

Update: Malia & Sasha Obama Adapting Well

Malia and Sasha Obama have experienced some big changes in recent weeks, but what hasn't changed is how President Obama and First Lady Michelle parent and raise their girls. They definitely know how to keep their girls grounded! So,how are the first daughters adjusting to their new life in the White House?

President Obama was recently interviewed on 60 minutes and asked how his girls are fairing in the White House. Obama said his daughters are "adapting remarkably, in ways that I just would not have expected."

He adds, "What's interesting is actually how unimpressed they are with it. I mean they - they're going to school. They are unchanged. They're the same sweet, engaging, happy, unpretentious kids that they were... They do seem to be having fun."

Malia, 10, and Sasha,7, are enjoying their spring break and hanging out with mom at Camp David while dad works.

The girls are anxiously waiting for their new puppy - which they should be getting once their school break is over.

Britney Spears needs to stay on the straight and narrow, and is trying to keep it together for her upcoming tour. Britney's team even took to the internet to debunk rumors that she will be on the party scene during the 'Circus' tour.

So don't get your hopes up, she will not be attending afterparties.

The statement on her site reads, “Despite many rumors and advertisements, as of now, Britney Spears will not be appearing at any afterparties in any markets other then (sic) Montreal. Please don’t mislead our fans.”

Britney has planned visits to see her boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, she's not going to let anything get in the way of those, including her fans.

Which is exactly how it should be. Her boys need their momma at their young age, her fans need to see that she is doing what is best for them.

The Scoop On The Obama's New Dog: They're Calling It "Moose?"

Sassy Smith — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:07:00 GMT

President Obama, First Lady Michelle and their two girls, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their new pooch and everyone wants to know, what kind of dog are they getting and what will they name it?

Michelle Obama spoke with PEOPLE at the White House and here is what she said:

"You're getting some scoop here."

The First Family will be getting their dog in April, after they get back from their spring-break vacation.

Here's what the family's conversation went like:

Michelle said, "So Sasha says, 'April 1st.' I said, 'April.' She says, 'April 1st.' It's, like, April! Got to do it after spring break. You can't get a new dog and then go away for a week."

What kind of dog is the presidential family getting?

Mrs. Obama said they'll likely get a rescue Portuguese Water dog who is "old enough" and a "match" for their family dynamic.

She added, "Tempermentally they're supposed to be pretty good. From the size perspective, they're sort of middle of the road - it's not small, but it's not a huge dog. And the folks that we know who own them have raved about them. So that's where we're leaning."

Do they have names picked out? Mom-in-chief isn't feeling the names her daughters have come up with to date.

"Oh, the names are really bad. I don't even want to mention it, because there are names floating around and they're bad. You listen and you go - like, I think, Frank was one of them. Frank! Moose was another one of them. Moose. I said, well, what if the dog isn't a moose? Moose. I'm like, no, come on, let's work with the names a little bit."

Okay, so Moose it's not. Ha.

Is Michelle surprised by the public interest in her family's dog search? Yes!

"Okay, that's surprising. One of the things I didn't anticipate is the level of the excitement about the dog. I knew my kids were excited. They've been excited for years. They've even calmed down, because they feel like, 'They said we're going to get one, so let's just shut up about it.'"

She added, "It's all great and gracious attention. People are just being as helpful as you can imagine. So I know that we will find the perfect breed. And we'll find people who are caring folks who will help us find the dog of our dreams."

*The dog in the photo is not their dog - just a photo of the breed they're looking at.* Very cute!

Adnan is going to jail, I bet Jaime Spears is so relieved. That's one of the hounds chasing after Britney and her money, down. Now if Sam Lutfi would actually get charged with something, then Brit's dad can relax a little. Britney won't be able to secretly call Sam and Adnan and may be able to, build a bridge and get over them.

Britney needs Adnan and Sam to go away so she can get on with her life. They have to go away so she can get over the "stockholm syndrome" she is suffering and concentrate on her boys. She says her boys are the most important tings in her life and she would do anything for them. She wants to get out from under the conservatorship of her father and though this doesn't directly involve her, it's a step in the right direction.

The Britney camp is relieved.

Adnan is being charged with three felonies and may spend up to 7 years in jail, he is being charged with being part of a hit and run.

Who did he hit and why did he run? He hit the process server that was serving him papers from the Britney camp. He ran because he is a dumbass.

What good did he think would come of it?

Prosecutors want the bail set at $110,000, and I hope it sticks. The poor person serving the papers had a broken wrist and multiple cuts and bruises.

What a tool.

Malia & Sasha Obama Receive Just $1 A Week Allowance

Sassy Smith — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:12:00 GMT

The Obama kids, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, are not spoiled! Despite their father being the President of the United States, the girls receive only $1 per week for allowance. And they don't get the dollar for the heck of it either - they have to work for it!

President Obama said he gives his daughters just one dollar each per week for doing their choirs. The girls are asked to set the table for meals, rinse dishes and keep their rooms and closets tidy. Some are criticizing Obama for giving his girls such a low amount - one critic even urged Obama to "provide a fiscal stimulus" for his kids.

The Obama girls are also expected to follow the same rules that the family had back in Chicago.

Bedtime is still 8 p.m., they're expected to set their own alarm clocks and get themselves up for school in the morning. Part of keeping their rooms clean, is making their beds. And when they eventually get a dog, they'll be in charge of walking it and scooping the poop.

First Lady Michelle said in her first interview with ABC, about the girls making their beds, "That was the first thing I said to some of the staff when I did my visit. Don't make their beds. Make mine. Skip the kids. They have to learn these things."

Mr. Obama and Michelle are learning to balance their parenting with their public responsibilities and both are committed to keeping their little girls grounded, according to friends and family.

Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's brother said, "Those are some special girls, and everyone is rooting for them to make it through this intact."

President Obama agreed. "Right now, they're not self conscious. You know, they don't have an attitude. And I think one of our highest priorities over the next four years is retaining that."

Do your kids receive an allowance? If so, do they have to do chores to earn it? And what's a reasonable amount to give children?

Britney Updates Her Status and Shares Fan Talent

trix — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 21:33:00 GMT

What has Britney Spears been up to these last couple of days? She has been keeping busy with her new/old assistant, driving around town. She also posted her status on BritneySpears.com, "I rehearsed on the tour stage for the first time! It's cooler then I imagined & has a lot of moving parts-can't wait for you to see it!"

Will you attend one of her concerts this time around? You know they are going to sell out, people want to see if she really has recovered or if she's going to fall apart on stage.

I'm interested to see what they have come up with as far as the stage show goes, since it has the whole "Circus" theme.

Until then, here is Wesley Messias' interpretation of "If U Seek Amy". I think it's fun!

Are the boys going to rehearsal too? If they are, is Britney teaching them the moves to her dances? Both she and Kevin are dancers, so they should have the aptitude for it.

What do you think the boys should do when they grow up? Should they be dancers or go to college and get an education?

I guess they could do both.

Sarah Palin's Secret Pregnancy & Why She Hid It

Sassy Smith — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 16:04:00 GMT

Alaska Governor and former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin gave birth to her fifth child - Trig - almost a year ago. Palin hid her pregnancy from the public and even her own children - but was almost discovered by one of her daughters, when Sarah made one slip-up.

PEOPLE Assistant Editor Lorenzo Benet's biography of Palin, titled Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin, reports details on her pregnancy with Trig and why she hid it. The book also sheds light on Sarah's oldest daughter Bristol, and her relationship with fiance Levi Johnston and their newest edition - son Tripp.

A few highlights from the book:

On Sarah's pregnancy with Trig:

One of Palin's daughters found her ultra-sound photo of Trig but Sarah explained it away. "Sarah made one slip-up - but [she] dampened suspicion by explaining it away." Sarah was also given the news that her unborn baby would have Down syndrome, but did not disclose that information to her family either, until after his birth on April 18.

"Not discussing the pregnancy with her daughters, she felt, would shorten the process and spare them from unwanted attention." Sarah also felt unsure about how to handle her own emotions.

"Not knowing in my own heart if I was going to be ready to embrace a child with special needs - I couldn't talk about it."

Trig's health issues started right at birth:

Baby Trig was born with a congenital heart defect typically found in about 50 percent of babies with Down syndrome. However, his cleared up without requiring surgery.

The Palin home is typical of a big family:

There are chaotic times, like in any household, one-on-one basketball games, kids bantering back and forth and take-out dinners. They have lots of extended family to help out when needed, especially when Sarah was on the campaign trail last year. The family also hired a Wasilla nanny to lend a hand.

On the relationship between Sarah's oldest daughter Bristol, and her fiance Levi Johnston:

Bristol and Levi became teen parents on December 27, 2008, with the birth of their son, Tripp.

During her pregnancy, Bristol, now 18, was living in Anchorage with her aunt and uncle, Heather and Kurt Bruce. She was working two jobs and attending West High School.

Levi was living 40 miles away in Wasilla, but, "there was certainly no ban on them dating. Levi used to drive to Anchorage to take Bristol out."

Heather Bruce was quoted for the book: "He used to bring her flowers and take her to dinner and a movie. He would come in and say hello, but he says few words. He's a quiet boy."

As a parent, I'm not sure I'd hide my pregnancy from my older children - what's the point? Sure, I'm not in the public eye, but why hide it from your own kids? They're eventually going to find out and why not let them be a part of it? I don't like 'secrets' in a family - but that's just me.
