Beyonce Knowles is thrilled her daughter Blue Ivy Carter has a role model like Michelle Obama.
The "Halo" singer has penned an open letter to the First Lady, praising her for her achievements and for being "humble, loving and sincere," and said she is proud her three-month-old child with husband Jay-Z has someone like Michelle to look up to.
"Michelle is the ultimate example of a truly strong African American woman. She is a caring mother, she's a loving wife, while at the same time, she is the First Lady!!!! No matter the pressure, and the stress of being under the microscope -- she's humble, loving, and sincere. She builds and nurtures her family, while also looking out for so many millions in so many ways," she wrote in a posting on Beyonce.com.

George Clooney Arrested
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
George Clooney has been arrested.
The Ides of March actor was taken away in handcuffs along with other protesters, including his father, outside the Sudan Embassy in Washington this morning following three verbal warnings from officers.
The actor - who was joined at the demonstration by his father Nick and Democratic Rep. Jim Moran among others - had said he was taking part in the protest to draw more attention to the accusation that Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, is provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains from South Sudan. The group held signs which read, "Sudan: Stop Weapons of Mass Starvation."
George had previously warned that if action were not taken in the next few months "we're going to have a real humanitarian disaster.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Doesn’t Want to Pay Spousal Support
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Despite the millions he's made in Hollywood action films and the damage he's done in his marriage, Arnold Schwarzenegger does not want to pay Maria Shriver spousal support.
Lawyers for the actor-turned-politician - whose wife left him after discovering he had fathered a child with their former housekeeper - have marked two points of conflict against her divorce petition; her requests for spousal support and that Arnold pays her legal fees.
Lawyer Bob Kaufman, representing Arnold, has asked the judge to strike any right to support on Maria's part, and that each party pay their own legal fees. The couple have no prenuptial agreement, meaning all assets and property accrued during their 25 year marriage - estimated at around $400 million - will be divided equally. Both parties have asked for joint custody of their two minor children, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13, and they also have two grown children, Katherine, 21, Christina, 19, together.
While former governor of California Arnold objects to paying his estranged wife support, he is said to be giving a large sum in child support while they work on a divorce settlement. "Arnold is paying a significant amount, and also paying for his sons, Patrick and Christopher's private school bills," a source said.

Levi Johnston to Write Tell-All Book
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rivalries, Where Are They Now?,
Whether they like it or not, Levi Johnston’s name will always be linked to the Palin family. Johnston first came to attention as the father of Bristol Palin’s illegitimate child; the Playgirl and the politics came later. Now, you can add author to his credentials.
Johnston has written a tell-all titled Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs, and if any part of the book is as sensational as the title it’s already a bestseller. The book comes out this fall.

Mike Huckabee Says Natalie Portman Presents ‘Distorted Image’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Engagements, Pregnancies, Rants, Rivalries, Rumors,
Mike Huckabee doesn’t think women should look up to Natalie Portman as a role model. He held the Black Swan star up as an example of Hollywood’s “distorted image” of single motherhood during a radio interview this week.
Host Michael Medved was the first to mention “visibly pregnant” Portman, her and her “problematic message.” Huckabee quickly expanded on the theme.
“People see a Natalie Portman or some other Hollywood starlet who boasts of, ‘Hey look, you know, we’re having children, we’re not married, but we’re having these children,’ and they’re doing just fine,” Huckabee remarked. “But, there aren’t really a lot of single moms out there who are making millions of dollars every year for being in a movie.”

John McCain Cares About Snooki’s Tanning Bed
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Kind Acts,
When Snooki speaks, politicians apparently listen. The Jersey Shore star recently lamented about the 10 percent sales tax President Obama placed on her precious tanning beds, and who was there in an instant to offer a shoulder to cry on? John McCain.
“U r right, I would never tax your tanning bed! Pres Obama’s tax/spend policy is quite The Situation. but I do rec wearing sunscreen!” the senator posted on his Twitter page.
I don’t know what’s most shocking: the fact that John McCain uses Twitter, the fact that he watches Jersey Shore, or the fact that his Twitter post doesn’t seem to resemble a statement from a 73 year-old senator.

Tila Tequila Credits Herself For Legalization of Gay Marriage
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Style, Kind Acts, Legal Issues, Editorials,
According to loathsome MTV star/personality Tila Tequila, the people of California have her to thank for lifting the ban on gay marriage in the Golden State.
“It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement,” she claimed in an interview.
Yes, because the politicians, lobbyists, and judges involved in lifting the ban are prone to watching a reality show that is so contemptible that contestants are forced to eat pig vaginas to prove their love to a female who blatantly exploits her “bisexuality.”
“Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]. Then they realized, ‘Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.’ The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal,” she later elaborated.
Really, Tila? Really? I thought I heard plenty of asinine remarks from Jessica Alba and Katherine Heigl, but this? I’m not sure whether to laugh or feel very sorry for her.
