President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle are all set for their first presidential Christmas Celebration at White House. They pose with four adorable elves Sunday at the Christmas in Washington Celebration at the National Building Museum in D.C.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle share a laugh while awaiting the arrival of India’s Prime Minster Manmohan Singh for a state dinner at the White House on Tuesday.
Traditional evening gowns vied with saris of vibrant colours last night at the first state dinner of the Obama White House. Obama looked gorgeous in a strapless, gold and cream-coloured sheath dress with an overlay of silver and matching shawl. She owed her dazzling appearance to the Indian-born US-based designer Naeem Khan.
Michelle Obama’s fabulous gown was crafted at the designer’s family workshop in India, with 40 people working to create this fashion masterpiece that combined regal style with a traditional sari-dress.
Mr. Barack Obama might have won millions of hearts and might be liked by many by not Angie. He does not have Angelina Jolie’s seal of approval.
"She hates him," a source close to the U.N. goodwill ambassador, 34, tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).
"She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise," adds the source.
But don’t expect to see the ‘Salt’ actress rally against Democrats on Fox News like her staunch Republican father, Jon Voight.
"Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors," the source says.
And those political views are putting her at odds with Brad Pitt, 45, who is a big fan of the president and even went solo to the 2008 election party in Chicago.
"They get in nasty arguments all the time about it, She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won’t tear them apart." ," says the source.
They both are into the same house then why there is so much political indifference? Is Agie is more open and Brad is showing off to be politically correct. ?
President Barack Obama has won the coveted Nobel Peace prize has stunned the noble observers, many observers were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in the Obama presidency, which began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline and has yet to yield concrete achievements in peacemaking.
Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo to accept the prize.
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," he said. "I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future," the Norwegian committee said as the prize was announced.
"His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population."
President Obama’s personal plea could not help 2016 Olympics’ bid in favor of Chicago, his home town. The failure to win the bid for Chicago’s Olympic was like a slap in the face for the President. He tried all his might used all his personal influence but yet could not succeed. He even hoped his last minute decision to fly to Denmark, where the vote was held, would close the deal.
In the war of Presidents, Mr. Obama looses. After an inspirational speech from Brazilian president Lula Inacio de Silva the organizers where in full confidence and in favor of him. These States were running in race for the bid Chicago, Brazil, Tokyo & Spain. Finally IOC President Jacques Rogge names Rio de Janeiro as the choice for the 2016 summer games
The most powerful man on this world could not influence his decision. Shocked U.S. supporters were left in tears after cancelling a planned celebration party at a Copenhagen hotel.
In the first ever in-person appeal by an American president, he promised the U.S. and Chicago would ‘make the world proud’.
President Obama also attended an informal reception to try to charm International Olympic Committee members and met Danish dignitaries during the whirlwind trip.
But it was all to no avail. Mr. Obama, however, at least avoided hearing the bad news in person because he was flying back to the U.S. as IOC president Jacques Rogge announced Chicago’s early elimination.
In Washington the setback was seen as a major embarrassment for the President.
He has seen his approval ratings tumble after coming under fire for his planned healthcare reforms, massive public spending and worsening violence in Afghanistan.
Senior adviser David Axelrod said: ‘Obviously it was disappointing. It didn’t work out but it was worth the effort. I don’t view this as a repudiation of the President.’
Mr. Obama should not treat this as his personal humiliation he should understand that South America is the only continent that has never hosted the Games – which means that it was the only option of the four currently on the table that gives IOC chiefs the chance to make history and I hope it deserve to host the games. Rio gets rewarded to what it was suppose to be. It has got a wonderful seating arrangement and got very strong culture to showcase.
Italian charmer Silvio Berlusconi introduced to ‘bella donna’ Michelle Obama. And this time he speaks about Michelle skin color.
Berlusconi told a Milan rally of supporters yesterday he brought greetings from the United States from "What’s his name? Some tanned guy. Ah, Barack Obama!"
Shortly after Obama’s election in November 2008, Berlusconi raised eyebrows by saying Obama was "young, handsome, and even has a good tan."
This time, Berlusconi, a perpetually tanned billionaire who began his career as a cruise ship entertainer, also took a jab at the first lady.
"You won’t believe it," he said, "but (the) two of them went to the beach because the wife is also tanned."
European media have played up photos showing Michelle Obama greeting many leaders at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh summit last week with a kiss but stiffly holding out her arm for a handshake when it came time to greet Berlusconi.
The photos show Berlusconi’s gazing at Mrs. Obama’s gown, instead of her face, and holding his arms out as if in delight at what he sees, while the U.S. president looks on, apparently not amused.
Berlusconi, 72, has made no secret for his yen for attractive women. He has been on the defensive in a sex scandal that erupted last spring after his wife complained he was infatuated with young women and announced she is divorcing him.
The premier, commenting on Obama’s use of a teleprompter in public speeches, also cracked: "He’s not reckless like those of us who say what comes to mind."
An Idiot Kanye West gets another Idiot’s Jay-Z’s support over the VMA Ambush. They look things similar. And Off course Jay-Z needs to support for his wife and pal.
Jay-Z doesn’t think his protégé, Kanye West, deserved to be vilified for ambushing Taylor Swift at Sunday night’s MTV VMAs.
"Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that’s the way he really felt," Jay-Z, 39, tells BBC Radio 1. West, 32, interrupted Swift’s speech for her best female video award to opine that Jay-Z’s wife, Beyonce, should have won for "Single Ladies."
Jay-Z goes on on, "I think it was rude, but the way they’re treating him … He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.
Jay-Z admitted his pal’s actions were "inappropriate at the time," but justifies the diss.
"He’s just a super-passionate person," he said.
On Tuesday, Swift, 19, announced that she’d forgiven the rapper after he reached out to her.
"Kanye did call me, and he was very sincere in his apology, and I accepted that apology," she told ABC News Radio.
The incident has made Kanye famous, even the President Obama has comment on his calling him as ‘Jackass’. This will be a lesson for him and as well organizers of such events, They will now will surely take extra precaution to avoid another idiot like him jumping and taking the charge over compeering.
Jennifer Lopez chooses a dress a dress from friend Victoria Beckham’s new Spring/summer 2010 collection, which was unveiled at New York Fashion Week just four days ago. JLo, 40, wore the figure-hugging nude sheath dress which displayed her figure to stunning effect. She showed off the curvy, her huge curvy back which is discussed often was revealing

From the back of Jennifer’s dress Victoria’s trademark exposed two-way zips can be seen.
Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, 41, were seen arriving at Capitol Hill for a private audience with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and members of the Congressional Hispanic in Washington
The couple Marc Anthony & JLo are in town on Marc’s 41st birthday for the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Gala where Marc was honored, with the PresidentObama and the First Lady Michelle Obama in attendance.
In an off-the record chat President Obama has called Kanye West a jackass for his outburst at the VMA’s. Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance of an award with a tirade that Beyonce should have won, because in his view, she had the best video of the year. Once again, showing the immature punk that this guy is.
After making the remarks, Obama said "Where’s the pool?" Presumably, he was worried the joke would go wide. He noted the last time that happened, he got burned for killing a fly.
Obama said, "Cut the President some slack."
Will the politicians ever learn to treat every microphone like a live microphone?
After this idiotic deed, Kanye West becomes the Celebrity Ass of the week. Listen to the Audio of the conversation.
Last night, ABC news anchorman Terry Moran turned to his Twitterto report an off-the-record comment made by Barack Obama.
During an interview on Monday evening, the President was asked during a break what he thought of the KayneWest/Taylor Swift drama. Moran immediatley tweeted his reponse:
“Pres Obama just called Kayne West a ‘Jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’s presidential.”
Moran was clearly in trouble after that one! An ABC spokeman issued the following statement: “In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion. This was done before our editorial process had been complete. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.”
Well….they didn’t deny he said it! Besides, if Obama did say that, he was correct! Kanye is a JACKASS! Should Moran have gone straight to Twitter with that? Probably not! But…damn…the public wants to know what Obama is really saying off-the-record! We deserve to know!
