Because it worked out so well for Kris Humphries, Rob Kardashian’s new girlfriend is set to make her reality show debut in the near future. Life & Style reports that Rita Ora – a British singer/model who started dating the former Dancing with the Stars contestant in late 2011 – will appear on at least one episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians next season. The installment “will be about Rita coming to visit and meeting the family,” an insider tells the tabloid . Rob previously dated Adrienne Bailon for a couple of years, splitting in 2009. He hasn’t been linked with anyone since and has actually remained mostly out of the spotlight, compared to his topless sisters , that is. Let’s face it, though: President Obama is scarcely in the spotlight compared to that trio. [Photos: WENN.com]
“Three years ago this week, a newly elected President Obama faced the American people and said that if he couldn’t turn the economy around in three years, he’d be looking at a one-term proposition. We’re here to collect.” That was the central focus of GOP front-runner Mitt Romney’s rousing victory speech. He delivered his remarks after enjoying a sweeping victory in the Florida Primary. “There are… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 01/02/2012 02:46 Number of articles : 2

Hip hop fans hoping for an all-out lyrical between Common and Drake just got their hopes dashed. In an exclusive interview with Nahright.com, Drake killed the hopes of any hip-hop fans (or proud Canadians) who thought he’d respond to Common’s diss on the “Stay Schemin” (REMIX). While on the set of the “The Zone” video featuring The Weeknd, Drake broke his silence about the Common diss: So people want to know: will you respond to Common? No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story. Wow. If that’s how he felt, why did he respond to “Sweet” in the first place? To read more about why Drake is falling back and his shots at Vanessa Bryant CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL INTERVIEW .

President Obama has pledged not to rest until everyone looking for a job finds one. On Monday, he upped the ante on that promise, volunteering to help a woman find work for her unemployed husband.

If you haven’t seen the video of President Obama singing Al Green at a fundraiser at New York City’s legendary Apollo Theater last week, you need to. No matter what you think of his views, the Prez proved with his riff on “Let’s Stay Together” that he’s got pipes! And we weren’t the only ones impressed. Friday, American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe Tweeted an official offer to the Commander in Chief that he can’t refuse. Or at least he shouldn’t: Obama Sings Al Green “@BarackObama we loved your vocal performance so much we’d love to invite you on to #AmericanIdol this Season for a duet with Al Green.” Now that would be the DVR moment of the decade. We’re gonna guess that Obama will cite scheduling conflicts and pass, but if you think about it, what better way to win over voters in an election year? Okay, perhaps a robust economy would be a bigger ballot box boost, but you get the idea. The guy’s vocal chops are legit and deserve a wider audience. President Obama in 2012?
Obama’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’ upped Al Green’s sales. By Gil Kaufman Al Green performs at President Obama’s Victory Fund 2012 Concert Photo: WireImage Sure, clean energy, the return of manufacturing, a boost in education spending and saving the domestic car industry are awesome ways to revive the American economy. But another tactic President Obama might consider is more singing. Because a week after the falsetto singer-in-chief unleashed his version of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” at an Apollo Theater fundraiser, sales of the good Rev.’s most iconic hit have taken off. According to Billboard magazine , the viral video of the President singing the first line of the #1 hit from 1972 boosted sales of the song by 490 percent. In fact, the tune had its best week since SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003, with 16,000 downloads. The YouTube video of the impromptu recital has been viewed more than 4 million times. It was likely the second surprise this week for Green, who was present at the Apollo event where Obama acknowledged the soul singer’s presence in the room from the stage. “Those guys didn’t think I would do it,” Obama laughed while pointing to his staffers at the side of the stage. “I told you I was going to do it. The Sandman did not come out.” Fans also rushed out this week to snatch up music by Etta James, the soul legend who passed on January 20. According to The Hollywood Reporter , James’ sales were up 378 percent over the past week. One compilation, The Best of Etta James — 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection shot up from #162 to #46 on sales of 8,000, giving James her highest chart position ever. For the week ending January 22, James’ overall catalog sold 30,000 copies, a jump of nearly 378 percent over the previous week when her collected album sold just over 6,000. Related Artists Al Green
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer received an earful from President Obama when she met him on an airport tarmac outside Phoenix yesterday – and responded in kind. The Democratic chief executive and Republican governor could be seen engaged in an intense conversation right at the base of Air Force One’s steps. Both could be seen smiling, but speaking forecefully at the same time. At one point, Jan Brewer pointed a finger directly in Barack Obama’s face. Why? Asked later what the conversation was about, Brewer, who recently published Scorpions for Breakfast , said, “He was a little disturbed about my book.” Jan Brewer Points Finger at Obama Something of a memoir of her years growing up, Scorpions defends her signing of Arizona’s controversial law cracking down on undocumented immigrants. Obama, who opposes that law, was objecting to Brewer’s description of a meeting they had at the White House in June 2010. Bad blood has boiled since. Brewer described Obama as lecturing her like “a little kid in a classroom, if you will, and he was this wise professor … I felt minimized to say the least.” The Governor also said that later that year, Obama blew her off when he was in town to deliver the commencement address at Arizona State University. On the tarmac Wednesday, Brewer handed Obama an envelope with a handwritten invitation to meet her for lunch and to join her for a visit to the border. “I said to him, you know, I have always respected the office of the president and that the book is what the book is,” she told reporters Wednesday. She said Obama was upset that she wrote he was not cordial: “I said that I was sorry he felt that way. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here, and we’ll regroup.” The President is visiting the Grand Canyon State to push for initiatives laid out in his State of the Union address , which began his reelection bid in earnest.
