Paula Deen Says Michelle Obama Probably “Ate More Than Any Other Guest,” Claims First Lady Loves Fried Fatty Foods

Paula Deen gets the side-eye for dry snitching and throwing our girl Chelly-O under the bus in a recent interview. The famous Food Network personality told interviewers how the First Lady, who has received her fair share of flack for pushing her “Let’s Move” campaign on American youth, doesn’t always practice what she preaches: “Well, I did a show with Michelle and I just loved being with her,” Deen told Yeas & Nays. “She probably ate more than any other guest I’ve ever had on the show —she kept eating even during commercials.” Deen taught Obama how to fry shrimp during a TV segment in September before the 2008 presidential election. “You know what their favorite foods are — it’s hot wings, you know, those kinds of foods that are not necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods, so she’s no different than the rest of us,” Deen said. “We love those kinds of foods, we just know that we can’t eat them everyday.” The culinary superstar also said she supported the first lady’s initiative to get more Americans gardening. “So I love that,” she said. “I was really happy to see her encouraging children, you know, to plant their little gardens.” Paula know her big behind need to plant some “little gardens” too. At least our girl Michelle stays in the gym. Source

Michelle Obama Stays on Target

First Lady Michelle Obama shops at Target? Who knew! Well, now you do. We meant before reading this story. The 47-year-old mother of two was recently seen taking a shopping cart through Target in Alexandria, Va., just outside D.C., carrying two bags full of purchases. The fashionable First Lady dressed down for the occasion. If she weren’t swarmed by Secret Service agents and photographers every waking moment, the American style icon might even be considered incognito in a gray Nike baseball cap, sunglasses and a casual buttoned top. That said, she seemed to make her way through the store without too much commotion. A source tells People that Michelle “picked up dog food and toys for Bo,” among other undisclosed household items. For the White House . For more on the First Lady, check out these Michelle Obama pictures !

Pippa Middleton’s Butt: What’s The Big Deal?

See the original post:

You would think that it was Pippa Middleton – not her sister Kate – who walked down the aisle with Prince William this summer judging from the way the media has honed in on her. But what’s even odder than the supplanting of her in the tabloids instead of her future queen sister is the fascination with her butt. This butt: Ma’am and/or sir, why is this a thing of wonder? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not throwing shade. Pippa is an attractive and shapely woman (very slim, but with a nice frame). But she isn’t carrying anything in her ‘backyard’ that is such a wonder to behold. Why is there such a fascination with non-Black women who have butts? Back when we were the only ones known for having large bottoms, they were the worst thing ever. But in the past ten years, it seems like everyone wants to be bootylicious. And women like Pippa are being held up as some sort of gold standard when her butt is more worthy of a participant ribbon. To paraphrase Paul Mooney, “everybody wanna be a Negro, but don’t nobody want to be a Negro.” However, considering the fact that Pippa’s butt is more on the flat side than the J.Los and Kim Kardashians of the world, perhaps praising her behind is a shift away from the big booty obsession. Is the Pippa-pimping a return to the rejection of the more voluptuous (and typically considered to be “ethnic”) body type? I think that’s a more than likely possibility. Our “royals” are a family of Black folks from the South Side of Chicago. And even though President Obama has a unique pedigree, the woman by his side is an undeniably Colored one. Brown skin, Black girl hair, big booty. For all those who have celebrated the victory-in-diversity that is an Obama White House, there are folks who want to get that ‘old thing’ back. And Pippa is undeniably uncolored. Hmm…am I just a conspiracy theorist, or do you see the connection here?

Hide Ya Kids, Hide Ya Favorite Actress: Lady Gaga Tried To Steal Whoopi Goldberg???

What the fizzuck?! Someone better keep an eye on Whoopi Goldberg. During an appearance on “The View” Monday, Lady Gaga revealed that she once tried to pilfer a photo of Goldberg, one of the show’s hosts, during a stay at a New York City hotel. “I’m a huge, huge, huge Whoopi fan and there’s this one hotel that I stay at where there’s photos of you everywhere throughout the lobby,” explained Gaga, who came on the show as a guest host and to perform her new single, “You and I” “I went out with my friends one night, and we’d had a little bit to drink, and we … saw this photo of you and I said, ‘Oh, I love her so much, I just want to take her up to my room.” So she did, though she didn’t get to hold on to the Goldberg keepsake for long before hotel security showed up at her door and asked for it back. It’s not the first time that Gaga has found herself in a spot of trouble involving sticky fingers and a legendary performer. Source

First Lady Michelle Obama Announces Initiative to Expand Access To Healthy, Affordable Food

Go here to read the rest:

A First Lady is nothing without an initiative, so I appreciate Michelle Obama for choosing food and fitness as hers. When I was a kid we were inundated with Drug Abuse Residence Education aka DARE. The only thing I got out of that was a t-shirt. DARE wasn’t really fun. You signed a pledge, committed to never join a gang, do drugs, or abuse alcohol.  I still frequent happy hour. (As an aside, DARE lost its federal grant funding in 1998, after failing to meet federal guidelines that the organization be both research based and effective. ) Kids today see their First Lady exercising; she extols the virtues of better health, fitness, and has some fabulous arms to boot! These kids get to dance—with Beyoncé(!!) no less, and they’re learning how to make better nutritional decisions. With the Let’s Move! campaign, the FLOTUS is determined to make sure every household has access fresh fruits, vegetables and other high quality food products at affordable prices.
