If you didn’t catch him giving out his March Madness picks on ESPN, trading quips on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno or looking appropriately grave during his in-depth 60 Minutes interview, you might have been among the thirty million who watched Barack Obama’s second press conference.
During the first sixty-odd days of his reign as President of the United States, Obama has been on almost every television channel at least once. You could build a respectable video library with clips of his appearances found on YouTube alone.
We now know that this national leader thinks riding on Air Force One is “cool,” enjoys a game of basketball whenever he can get a chance and hopes to soon take on the health care problems of the country. We know who he’s rooting for in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, that he’s not a great bowler and that he pretty much has his hands full dealing with the AIG bonuses (and their repercussions).

Lindsay Lohan’s Fans Holding Her Back?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?,
Lindsay Lohan, who hasn’t had a single acting gig since the ill-fated I Know Who Killed Me, says it’s all your fault that she’s not working. And you’d better help her out quickly, because she’s having trouble paying her mortgage and handling her bills. Evidently, even Disney paychecks only stretch so far.
“If people would just leave my personal life alone - because, it’s really not that interesting - then I could land a great role,” Linds recently explained to E! “But, all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting.”
Someone please explain to Miss Lohan that it’s called press - and nobody ever earned or maintained a spec of stardom without it.
“I just want to live the dream that I’ve worked so hard for since I was four years old. I’ve been through a lot in my life. And there are many things I’d like to do to let people know that they just have to be strong,” Lohan said…before she continued to whine about how troubling it is to deal with the press she gets.

Angelina Jolie Fan Sues Children’s Charity
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rumors,
A disgruntled Angelina Jolie fan has filed suit against the Lili Claire Foundation. The charitable organization provides help to children suffering from medical problems and their families, but they might soon be shelling out money on behalf of the movie star.
The man who filed suit claims he won a meeting with Jolie at an auction, an adventure that cost him a cool thirty grand ($30,000). The only trouble is, he never got to meet the star…and he never got his money back, either.
Now that two years have passed, the fan has decided to take legal action against the charitable foundation. Think they could get Angie to pop over and cool his ire a little?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups, Photos,
Forget New York. I’m already waiting for the The Real Housewives of Orange County to return.
She might not have cheated on her fiancé while he was still alive, but Gretchen Rossi has definitely moved on.
Over the last few weeks, the 31-year-old has been spotted out with another face familiar to Housewives viewers: Slade Smiley. Smiley, who was once engaged to original cast member Jo De La Rosa, also briefly dated Lauri Waring as well.
I can only imagine what Tamra and Vicki have to say about this one…

NASA wasn’t prepared for the power of the Colbert Nation. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently held a naming contest for the new room of the international space station. Apparently, the government agency never heard about the late night host’s influence over his fans.
When Stephen Colbert caught wind of the write-in invitation that NASA instigated to get ideas, the host urged his viewers into action. NASA picked the name Serenity for the new room - but votes for Colbert outnumbered the choice by 230,539 votes.
NASA, of course, has the final vote on naming the room…but a quarter million fans isn’t exactly the set you want to anger. John Yembrick, spokesman for NASA, says the room will be named in April and that the name winning the most votes will also get “the most consideration.”
