It’s safe to say that Mariah Carey and Bristol Palin reacted very differently to Barack Obama announcing his support of gay marriage this week. But while the daughter of a failed Vice Presidential candidate went public with wayward insults of Obama as a father , Glee and Dora the Explorer , Mariah simply went out and partied! Witnesses say Carey showed up at The Abbey Food and Bar in West Hollywood on Wednesday night, dancing the evening away at the gay nightclub with pal B. Scott. “She was very nice and gracious,” an onlooker at the establishment tells People , adding that the deejay recognized her after awhile and started to play some Mariah classics. At this, the ladies simply went “crazy” on the dance floor. Sort of like how Bristol went at Obama’s announcement, only not at all.
Liberty University says the late Jerry Falwell would be “proud” that Mitt Romney will be speaking at this weekend’s graduation ceremony. Michele Bachmann has already withdrawn her Swiss citizenship.

‘America’s Got Talent’ judge says Obama’s support is ‘a good first step.’ By John Mitchell Howard Stern Photo: MTV News During a press conference about his new “America’s Got Talent” judging gig , Howard Stern turned his attention to a topic that has long been close to his heart: same-sex marriage. While he sometimes makes jokes about gays and lesbians on his radio show, Stern is a well-known and vocal LGBT advocate and believes in gay marriage, so it was only natural that he address President Barack Obama’s recent support on the matter. “My feelings are very clear on this,” he told reporters Thursday (May 10). “I wish the president actually had gone further. I wish he had said he was going to back some legislation on the national level.” On Wednesday, President Obama said he believed same-sex couples should be allowed to marry during an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts. While Stern said it seemed like a “political maneuver” for Obama to wait until three and a half years into his presidency — and six months ahead of the election — to publicly voice his support for gay marriage, he called Obama’s declaration “a good first step, it’s a baby step.” “I would like the president to get behind this and really push it,” Stern continued. “There’s just too many people being bullied, too many people’s lives being wrecked. This is something that is long overdue.” Stern reserved his harshest words for former Republican presidential contenders Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann, admonishing both for the negative impact their rhetoric has on LGBT youth and saying their vocal opposition to gay rights is not in alignment with their supposed Christian values. “These nutbags like Santorum and Bachmann, who make these people, and especially young gay kids, feel miserable, shame on them. They’re quacks. I would never vote for them, I wouldn’t even listen to them,” Stern said. “They call themselves Christians. If you’re a Christian, you don’t sit there and worry about what somebody else is doing if they are happy and they’re committed in a relationship. So this is wonderful news that the president has said it, long overdue, and I think he’s got to do a lot more.”
Los Angeles traffic is famous for getting rotten when big happenings hit town, but George Clooney ‘s fundraising bash for President Obama promises to make the Friday commute even more dreadful. And so, in the grand tradition of traffic-paralyzing presidential visits of the past (or: Obama-jams!) and 2011’s infamous “Carmageddon” (remember that?), POTUS’s social visit tomorrow to Clooney’s canyon pad — for a $40,000-a-plate shindig expected to raise $15 million for the Obama re-election campaign — has a name: Starmageddon . “Obama at George Clooney’s house: Neighbors brace for starmageddon” screamed a headline yesterday in the Los Angeles Daily News/Silicon Valley Mercury News ), kicking off a catchword frenzy. The visit to Clooney’s Studio City home marks the president’s first non-studio trip to the Valley, notes the paper. As for the traffic madness that may or may not ensue, Los Angelenos with places to be should avoid the following places on Friday evening: LAX, where Obama lands around 6pm; Studio City/Laurel Canyon north of Ventura Blvd., where Clooney’s party will have street closures in effect from 5pm to 8pm; and Beverly Hills later that night, where the President is reportedly staying. And if you’re lucky enough to live close to Clooney, be prepared to show I.D. to access your own home from 8pm to 10pm that night. “Starmageddon” is a fitting name for the star-studded Hollywood-meets-Washington affair — Clooney and Obama, joining forces for the future of America. If there was an asteroid hurtling toward earth, is there any question that these two could save us all? I mean, obviously. Then again: I can’t be the only one imagining Clooney dancing animal crackers up and down Obama’s belly as the plaintive wailing of Steven Tyler fills the air. (Do you think it’s possible that anyone else in the world will be doing this very same thing at the very same moment tomorrow night?)

Since many people’s first-listen reactions to Justin Bieber‘s single “Boyfriend” included comparisons to the Ying Yang Twins (specifically their 2005 track “Wait (The Whisper Song)”), it makes sense that the rap duo would make their own remix of the song.
