Michelle Obama to Appear on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

First Lady Michelle Obama will appear on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition as part of her ongoing Joining Forces initiative to help military families. The White House made the announcement today Monday. Michelle will tape the episode with a military family, the Marshalls, in Fayetteville, N.C., later this week. The show will feature Barbara Marshall, a 15-year Navy veteran who started a home called “The Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House.” That establishment gives homeless female vets a place to stay and other aid. Hard to think of a better cause for Obama or anyone else to support. The Extreme Makeover team will be building a new jubilee house in this week’s taping. The episode of the ABC show is scheduled to air in October. This is not Michelle Obama’s first stop to promote Joining Forces. Last month, the First Lady taped a special appearance on iCarly on Nickelodeon. That episode is slated to air in January.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Takes Down The Twilight Saga

In what will likely be the first of many records set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , the film has knocked The Twilight Saga out of a number-one perch. The final adventure for Daniel Radcliffe and company $43.5 million at midnight screenings Friday morning, demolishing the $30 million mark set by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse . Harry cleared $80 overall yesterday, blowing by the $72 million record by The Twilight Saga: New Moon . Look for it to gross over $180 million before the weekend is over, which would move it past The Dark Knight and prove once and for all: Movie goers prefer wizards to vampires and mayhem-causing superheroes.
