Oops… We don’t know whether to feel bad for Roy Williams or laugh at him. The Odessa American reports Williams filed a lawsuit seeking the return of the $76,600 ring from Brooke Daniels, a former Miss Texas USA. Williams initially mailed the ring — you read that correctly — and a recorded marriage proposal to Daniels in February. Evidently that did not set off wedding bells in her head even though the couple had lived together for a year. Daniels allegedly told Williams she’d lost the ring after he requested it back. Williams’ insurance company later told him Daniels’ father, Michael, was in possession of it. “He said (to Brooke Daniels), ‘I’m not like a lot of people, I don’t want the ring back. You’ll eventually come back to me,’ and she didn’t,” says Michael Daniels, who plans to give the ring back to Williams rather than endure the lawsuit. “I want to wash my hands of it,” said Michael Daniels, who added neither he nor his daughter claimed the ring was lost prior to the insurance inquiry. “It’s just a hassle. I’ll take care of my daughter. I don’t need him.” Oh, damn. Okay, we feel a little bad for him now… especially since he’s getting his ring back and just got sonned by his ex’s daddy in the media. Poor thang. Source

Shelly-O took to Massachusetts to rally up support for her husband’s second term. The lovely First Lady expressed her loving concern for her husband and highlighted Obama’s dedication to the nation and somehow flawlessly fused concern and support. Like the POTUS, she’s equally powerful with her words … and convincing. First lady Michelle Obama gave a fascinating insight into just how heavily the weight of office rests on her husband’s shoulders and how the job of president has taken it’s toll. Speaking at a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee in Massachusetts she told of his total dedication to the job and told how she worries about the increasing number of lines on his face She said: ‘I see the worry creasing his face. I hear the passion and determination in his voice. ‘You won’t believe what these folks are going through;’ he told me that last night. “‘Michelle, it is not right. We’ve got to fix this. We have to do more,’”‘Barack always reminds me that we are playing a long game.’ He reminds me, as I said to you, too, that change is slow.’He reminds me that change doesn’t happen all at once, but that if we keep showing up, if we keep fighting the good fight, doing what we know is right, then eventually we will get there, because the truth is we always have in this country. We always have.’ Michelle Obama said that when her husband first told her he was planning to run for president she had serious doubts about how it would affect their young family. She added: ‘I was proud of the work that he was doing in the Senate. And I thought that he would make a phenomenal president. ‘That wasn’t the issue. ‘But, like a lot of folks, I still had some cynicism about politics. And with two young daughters at home, I was worried about the toll that a presidential campaign would take on our family. ‘So it took some convincing on Barack’s part. And by ‘some,’ I mean a lot; he’s still paying back.’ Mrs Obama said that it was going on the campaign trail in 2008 and getting out an meeting voters – that led to her having a change of heart. She added: ‘It’s about meeting people one-on-one, hearing what’s going on in their lives.’ ‘But I think that the last four years have shown us the truth of what Barack has always said: That if any child in this country is left behind, then that matters to all of us, even if she’s not our daughter, and even if he’s not our son. ‘If any family in this country struggles, then we cannot be fully content with our own family’s good fortune, because that is not what we do in this country.’ Awe, she loves her some him! It’s clear that she supports him and holds him down when the press and Capitol Hill politicians are trying to sabotage his agenda. Every good man needs a Shelly-O. Source

Diahann Carroll will be 76 this summer. And let’s be honest… She looks better than most of us. And in 40 years, when Kerry Washington is about to turn 75, she’ll probably look better than you too. Ms. Diahann called it. Kerry reminds me a lot of myself at her age. She has a trained eye for detail and what suits her figure. And she has an innate self-confidence, a coolness about how lovely she is. Check out pics from their recent photo shoot for O Magazine’s “Timeless Beauties” issue. Source
