Michelle Obama Takes a Walk on Sesame Street
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Kids, PBS, Video,
That large white residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue might be impressive, but it’s not the most exciting place Michelle Obama‘s been to this year. Earlier this week, the First Lady reached out to children everywhere with a PSA she recorded on Sesame Street. The clip, which also features that oh-so-cute red guy, stresses the importance of good eating.
An ecstatic Obama shared her joy with diplomats and staff members at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. “I’m thrilled to be here, but I was just at Sesame Street—I’m sorry. And I never thought I’d be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird and I was thrilled. I’m still thrilled. I’m on a high,” she said. “I think it’s probably the best thing I’ve done so far in the White House. But we were there talking about nutrition and healthy eating, and it’s just been a thrill.”
Obama is not the first FLOTUS to appear on the classic children’s program. Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton have both guested as well.

Could a Kiefer Sutherland Head-Butt Delay 24?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Daytime, Prime Time, FOX, 24, News,
The ladies might have stolen the Met Costume Institute Gala’s spotlight, but it was Kiefer Sutherland who made fashion world news last night.
The 24 star was at an after-party for the annual event when he allegedly saw Jack McCollough, a Proenza Schouler designer, knock over Brooke Shields. Although the actress later denied that anything “inappropriate” happened to her, a confrontation between Jack and Kiefer eventually led to a Sutherland head-butt.

An Open Letter to Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Syndication, Editorial,
Dear Regis and Kelly,
I have something I really need to get off my chest. Even though I continue to watch Live with Regis and Kelly on a fairly regular basis (usually out of habit), I find myself increasingly more annoyed as the days go by.
You can call me bitter and jealous all you want, but this is something I’ve been bothered by long before the economy started to tank. The current climate has only made it worse.
Earlier this week, I flipped on your program while Regis was talking about the AIG bonuses. Kelly followed that up with a story about a group of teachers who opted to take a 5% pay cut to help save their coworkers. That discussion then led to an unnecessary confession from Regis: He recently took a pay cut as well. (Uhh - did he want us to pat him on the back?) When the topic was redirected back to Kelly, she then joked, “Some of us don’t need a pay cut!”

During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one American Idol judge worked with the talk show host to solve the problems in another judge’s love life.

“Let’s talk about Simon Cowell being single,” suggested Ellen. “I bet you’re helping him now.”
“His social skills need some work,” laughed Jackson.

In hopes of keeping Days of Our Lives up and running for at least another 18 months, the sudser’s producers have been forced to make a few difficult decisions. Unfortunately for fans, that means saying goodbye to two of the show’s longest-running characters: Marlena Evans and John Black.
Despite some work on other projects, actress Deidre Hall has been with the 43-year-old NBC program since 1976. Her on-and-off daytime husband, Drake Hogestyn, joined DOOL back in 1986.
