Love for M. Obama

Mrs. Michelle Obama will tell you herself that she is not just the First Lady, she is a mom, wife, and also a daughter and sister. With all the titles that Mrs. Obama holds, one of our favorites is that she is a fashion icon. Out of all the things that we love about Mrs. Michelle Obama, it has to be her determination to make the world a better place.

From the beginning she has been working on making things better for all people as her husband ran for the presidency. As she came more and more into the political spotlight she was scrutinized for her speeches and outfits. Recently she has been talked about for wearing shorts as she walked off of Air force One. Despite the talk and controversy, she has continued to move forward and make a difference in peoples live.

She has worked closely to help with gay issues, child education, and helping military families. Aside from all of her efforts she continues to put her children and husband first, while still remaining fashionable in pretty much all of her attire. Who ever has the opportunity to dress the First Lady needs to be prepared to become an overnight hit because she has the ability to make clothes a must-have.

No matter what happens in the next three years, First Lady Obama will always be someone we have so much love for.

Kourtney's Pregnant

Seems like Kourtney Kardashian's new life in Miami has brought on all sort of new surprises. The reality star told E! today that she is excepting a baby. She is not telling too much about her pregnancy or who the father is. When asked if she is back with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick from Keeping Up With the Kardashians are back together, she stated that people would have to watch her and sister Khloe's new show to see.

The show that she is referring to is Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami, which premieres this Sunday on E!. Since the promo commercials aired for the show, the oldest Kardashian has been rumored to be bisexual because of her kiss with a girl in a night club. The girl that she kissed was a bisexual friend of the Kardashian sisters. When asked about the kiss Kourtney Kardahian stated that she is "definitely into men."

Even though some people are surprised that Kardashian is pregnant, I have to admit that I'm not. When I read the story I just had a go figure moment and was not surprised about it, maybe it's because it was a Kardashian and I mean have you seen the show?

From the story that was posted by E! Kardashian seems excited and happy about her first child. So best wishes to her and her baby.

Bridget's Reality Future

From the Playboy Mansion to sexy beaches, former playmate Bridget Marquardt of The Girls Next Door keeps a busy schedule, and according to resent rumors it's about to get a lot busier. The reality star is currently in talks with E! to have her own spin-off show that centers around her life after the Playboy Manson.

Since the show is still in talks little information is out about the show; I'm thinking if it does happen it probably won't air till next year. The only things that are know about the show is that it will feature Marquardt and her boyfriend Nick Carpenter. The couple recently moved into a new home together since Marquardt no longer lives at the mansion and she is not filming her Travel Channel show Bridget's Sexiest Beaches.

The spin-off will have the same criteria as her playmate buddy Kendra Wilkinson's show on E! did. However, the show most likely won't have a wedding to top it off like Wilkinson's show did since Marqardt and Carpenter want to take things slow. They stated that they do not have plans at this time to settle down. Since this is their first house together they said that they are focus on getting their home together and moving in.

Even though I had some doubts about former Girls Next Door doing their own reality shows, I have to admit that Wilkinson's show proved me wrong. So I'm going to give a vote of confidence into Marquardt's show and wish the couple the very best.

Carrie's Our Love

There are more than some hearts out there that love Carrie Underwood. As one of the most successful winners of American Idol Underwood has made her career into something that future contestants could dream about. As news this week centers on the future of the Fox show, Underwood has shown how fame and progress are not going to her head.

Underwood started out as a girl out of Oklahoma. She started working on her music career at an early age; she did talent shows and performed at different venues. Her work earned her the opportunity to get a contract with Capitol Records, but her contract was canceled after a change in management. Underwood earned her chance at a music career again when she auditioned for American Idol in 2004.

As we all know, Underwood won the competition and in 2005 she released her first album Some Hearts. Then in 2007 she released her sophomore album Carnival Ride. She has won Billboard Music Awards, Grammy Award, and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Underwood is now working on her third album that is due out in November.

Even though she has all this going on Underwood also works to support teachers. She stated that the occupation is close to her heart since many members of her family are teachers. She works with the Teacher's count campaign and the "Behind Every Famous Person is a Fabulous Teacher."

With our love for teachers and good music we can't help but be carried away with Carrie Underwood.

Hova Business

People are already talking and preparing for the release of Jay-Z new album The Blueprint 3. The album cover was released last week portraying a red, white, and blue themed background. Little information about the album is known with the exception of the songs "D.O.A. (Death of Autotune)" and "Run This Town."

The last news being that the man from Detroit, Michigan that was accused of sending death threats to both Jay-Z and Beyonce was charged today. From 2006 till now Leon Desmond Barrett has been sending death threat letters to the couple and football player Jerome Bettis. In some of the letters he wrote that the celebs will be the first that he would kill. Barrett denied the charges and the allegations; he remains in custody.

Aside from that Jay-Z along with his friends Kanye West and Rihanna will all be performing on Jay Leno's premiere episode of his new show. The Jay Leno Show which will be premiering on NBC September 14 will feature the trio performing a song off the Blueprint 3 album "Run This Town."

Definition of a Comeback

I have noticed that some people, especially in the media, don't know the real meaning of the word comeback. According to the American Heritage dictionary a comeback is 'a return to a formally enjoyed state of prosperity.' So if that's the definition, why do people not know how to use the word? My thoughts are this, when it comes to someones career any one can do a "do over" or start it again. Although people can do that this does not mean they have made a comeback because they might not be back to where they were before.


Recently singer Whitney Houston is started promoting her new album I Look to You which is coming out later this month. The press is saying that this album is her comeback and that she is going to be back to the way she was in the 1990s. Even though she has a new album out and she has left Bobby Brown, will Houston be the same singer that she use to be?

Let me say first that I’m not trying to talk down Houston or her upcoming album; it could be a comeback album and restart her career. I’m just using her as an example. I personally like her music and what she did in the 90’s when she was doing Waiting to Exhale and The Preacher's Wife.

My point is that people need to use the word comeback in the context of what the word means. If someone is getting back to work then they are getting back to work, that does not mean that they are going to start where they left off; look at Britney Spears. So best wishes to Houston and her new album, I wish her the very best.
