Jennifer Hudson Performing for Michelle Obama

Jennifer Hudson didn't get Michelle Obama a birthday present.
The "I Can't Describe" hitmaker is performing at the First Lady's 50th birthday bash in Washington D.C. today, but admits she couldn't think of a gift to get her. When asked how easy it was to pick out something special for Michelle, the 32-year-old star told gossip website TMZ.com, "You don't. You just go and be there and show your support, that's all you can do."
The singer is really looking forward to performing at the big party: "I can't describe my new single but it's in the groove and the Obamas I'm sure they've already got it. It'll be fun."
It was previously reported that Michelle, who turned 50 on Friday, had asked Adele to perform alongside her close friend Beyonce at the party but the "Someone Like You" hitmaker was already booked to attend Kate Moss' 40th party at her cottage in Cotswolds, England today. "Moss asked her team first to find out how much it would cost to get Adele to perform. But Michelle then also invited her to sing alongside Beyonce at the White House. With Adele's fees she could make $4.8 million in 72 hours if she flies from Kate's to the States," an insider said.

White House responds to petition, says cell phone unlocking should be legalized
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Smartphones,
It started as a petition needing only 100,000 signatures requesting that the White House make an official response to the right of cellphone owners to lawfully unlock their cellphones. The Library Of Congress deemed unlocking one's cellphone illegal in October 2012; a ruling that would take affect in the new year. Now, the White House has officially announced that they too agree with the 114K petitioners. It recommends that cellphones be unlocked as long as the customers first meet their carrier's contractual agreement. The White House has even included tablets to the list of devices. Consequently, the Library of Congress has agreed and support the review their policy, which was strongly urged by the FCC.
"The White House agrees with the 114,000+ of you who believe that consumers should be able to unlock their cell phones without risking criminal or other penalties. In fact, we believe the same principle should also apply to tablets, which are increasingly similar to smart phones. And if you have paid for your mobile device, and aren’t bound by a service agreement or other obligation, you should be able to use it on another network. It’s common sense, crucial for protecting consumer choice, and important for ensuring we continue to have the vibrant, competitive wireless market that delivers innovative products and solid service to meet consumers’ needs." - White House Administration

What’s worse than an evening full of lame jokes? Being entertained by a comedian who recycled them.
Although he was clearly headlining the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this Saturday, Tonight Show host Jay Leno apparently thought he was participating in NBC’s Green Week.
How else could he possibly explain writing a routine made up of old jokes?

Obama Scores, Jay Leno Bombs at Correspondents’ Dinner
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos,
Ouch. This was not the way for Jay Leno to lead into Conan O’Brien’s 60 Minutes interview tonight.
NBC’s current Tonight Show host may have been headlining comedian at last night’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but it was President Barack Obama who stole the show. Although the POTUS helped get the nearly 3000 attendees warmed up with a list of funny jokes (including zingers directed at Leno himself), Jay fumbled the lead once he arrived at the podium.

First, the World Series. Next stop—the White House.
Glee may deal with issues like premarital sex, teenage pregnancy and homosexuality, but that doesn’t mean the program isn’t welcome in the President’s household. In fact, First Lady Michelle Obama and her children reportedly love the show so much, they’ve invited the cast to perform at their Pennsylvania Avenue address.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the show’s cast has just been asked to sing at the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll. Although the April 5th event would mean some schedule shifting, the program’s producers are more than willing to accommodate the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
