Barack Obama paid moving tribute to his family last night. Addressing the country for one final time as President of the United States, Obama detailed his many accomplishments over the years, emphasized the need for citizens to be actively involved in their democracy… … and then caused us all to reach for our tissues. “Michelle – Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, girl of the Southside, for the past 25 years, you’ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend,” the President said, staring at his wife in the front row of Chicago’s McCormick Place convention center. Eventually unable to hold back his own tears, Obama continued: “You took on a role you didn’t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor. You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. “You’ve made me proud. You’ve made the country proud.” Obama went on to refer to Vice President Joe Biden as a “brother,” thanking the long-time politician for his friendship and his guidance over the years. The Commander-in-Chief also, of course, talked at length about his daughters, Sasha and Malia. “Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful,” he said. “But more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion. You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily.” He then made sure there truly wasn’t a dry eye in the convention center by concluding: “Of all that I’ve done in my life, I’m most proud to be your dad.” You can watch Obama break down while talking to his amazing wife and family in the following clip: Barack Obama Farewell Address: Why Did the President Break Down? Cameras often caught Malia growing emotional over her father’s stirring words of love and appreciation, but the cameras never caught hold of Sasha. And that’s because Sasha wasn’t there! What possible excuse did she have for missing her dad’s farewell address? Is she in rehab, like some have actually believed Malia to be over the past few weeks? No. It was simply a school night and Sasha was at home, studying for a test, according to White House officials. This means one of two things: Either the Obamas really are so serious about education that they could not even give their 16-year old daughter a night off in order to attend a literal once-in-a-lifetime event… … or Sasha’s teacher is a total A-Hole. Either way, we assume Sasha at least watched her father on television. And we’d have to believe she was incredibly flattered and proud as she did. After all, whatever you think of Barack Obama’s policies or beliefs, you have to give the man props as a husband and a father. He’s treated the office of the President with dignity and respect for eight years. And now he’s moving aside for someone who may or may not have a thing for prostitute-laden golden showers . Let’s just say ahead of time that we won’t blame Baron Trump if he skips out on his dad’s next speech.
Thea discovered the truth about her anger issues on Arrow Season 4 Episode 2 . Elsewhere, CEO Felicity made a discovery of her own, learning about the the cost of doing business; while Damien Darhk’s most recent handiwork led to a political development. Watch Arrow Season 4 Episode 2 Online We’ll start with Felicity, who we may not hire to ever run our business. She now heads up Palmer Tech and she avoided some actual payroll problems this week by employing a bit of fantasy. She and Oliver now have money, as the latter put it, yet they used a lot of it to buy a fingerprinted truck instead of covering a decent amount of a staffer’s salary. The storyline just didn’t really work. View Slideshow: 18 Sexy Small Screen Superheroes Elsewhere, Oliver was tasked with keeping Jeri Ryan’s Jessica Danforth safe. She was a family friend running for Mayor in place of Moira. Enter Anarky, Darhk’s private contractor who initially tried to kidnap Jessica and then eventually abducted her daughter. Because he’s all about “order, discipline and precision,” Darhk actually gave Lance the girl’s location and Lance, in turn, told Oliver to go ahead and prove how things are different this time around. So Team Arrow went out and rescued the girl. But the major fallout here was that Thea (aka Speedy) practically roasted Anarky to death as a finishing move. Before this scary moment, Oliver told his sister about the Lazarus Pit and how it was used to bring her back to life and how he had been warned that its side effects could leave her very different from before. At the end of the hour, Laurel suggested that she and Thea enjoy with a spa getaway; but, in reality, she’s taking her friend to Nanda Parbat for two reasons: To gather the information that might help Thea deal with these issues. To see what the Pit might do for Sara, who’s not looking so hot after a year in the grave. As we look forward to Arrow Season 4 Episode 3 , these developments also went down this week: Diggle told Laurel about how Darhk’s “ghosts” work for H.I.V.E., the same organization that killed his brother. Laurel responded by warning him against internalizing the guilt over a sibling’s death. In flashbacks, Oliver afield to pass himself off as a castaway to Baron Reiter, who put him to work. During his first shift, Oliver met a young woman who complained about the conditions. Oliver hinted that he may run for Mayor! Need to catch up on this installment?

Meagan Good takes her talent to Upscale magazine…. Meagan Good Covers Upscale Magazine Meagan Good has been making her media rounds lately and she’s now bringing her bangin’ bawwdy to the cover of the latest issue of Upscale magazine. The Hollyweird PYT also chatted with the magazine about marriage, fame and more. Check out a few interview excerpts below. via Upscale On her fears about marriage: “What I feared about marriage was that I would lose my identity and be controlled or suffocated or like a caged lion and what I found was the exact opposite. I’m way more empowered, more content, more confident and just freer across the board.” On feeling more free after getting married: “Oddly, you would think in marriage it would make you feel like you have less freedom, but I’m finding that I [actually] have more freedom because I trust myself more and I’m a little bit more absolute about my choices.” On fame: “In this business you do get picked apart and you do get kind of bullied everyday, with the blogs and everything… People say, ‘well if you didn’t want all of that then you shouldn’t do this for a living’ but there’s a difference between someone who wants to be an actress because they want to be famous and someone who wants to do good work and they could take or leave the fame because it’s not about the fame or money, it’s genuinely about the art. That’s the category that I fall in. With the fame, to be honest, I could really leave it.” Do you think celebs should be able to skip the fame and still get paid big bucks to do what they love?

NBA player Jason Collins came out as gay in Sports Illustrated today, igniting a flurry of discussion and receiving an outpouring of support online. “I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation,” he said. And start it he did. With a few exceptions ( Mike Wallace ), the vast majority of reactions to Jason Collins’ coming out have been positive. Check out some of the best celebrity Tweets in support of 34-year-old Collins, a 12-year NBA veteran and member of the Washington Wizards: Kobe Bryant: Proud of @jasoncollins34. Don’t suffocate who u r because of the ignorance of others #courage #support #mambaarmystandup #BYOU The Rock: Being real & authentic is very powerful. Well done Jason Collins for having the courage to take a monumental step forward. #LiveReal Russell Simmons: Proud of Washington Wizards’ player Jason Collins for coming out. We will stand with you as you continue on your journey. Martina Navratilova: It’s not easy to come out when one is still active- shouldn’t be an issue, but it is. That’s why so many don’t do it till after. Well done Jason Collins – you are a brave man. And a big man at that 🙂 1981 was the year for me – 2013 is the year for you 🙂 Lance Bass: Congrats @jasoncollins34 !! Giant leap for sports – and the conversation continues! Spike Lee: Beautiful Thing. Be Yourself. Washington Wizards: We are extremely proud of Jason & support his decision to live his life proudly and openly. Baron Davis: I am so proud of my bro @jasoncollins34 for being real. #FTheHaters Howard Stern: Big support to @jasoncollins34. That’s not an easy thing you did. Steve Nash: The time has come. Maximum respect. Michael Strahan: So proud of @jasoncollins34 for having the courage to stand up and out for who he is. I support, respect and salute you!! Human Rights Campaign: RT to congratulate NBA player @JasonCollins34 for his courage to come out! Bill Clinton: I’m proud to call Jason Collins a friend. I have known Jason since he was Chelsea’s classmate and friend at Stanford. Jason’s announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community. It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities. For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive. I hope that everyone, particularly Jason’s colleagues in the NBA, the media and his many fans extend to him their support and the respect he has earned. Chelsea Clinton: Very proud of my friend Jason Collins for having the strength & courage to be the first openly gay player in the NBA. David Stern: As Adam Silver and I said to Jason, we have known the Collins family since Jason and Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family. Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue. #NBAFamily
