Trouble in Paradise: Mariah & Nick


Rumor has it that Nick & Mariah experienced a recent bump on the road of matrimonial bliss.

“Mariah Carey’s new husband was trying to have a boys’ weekend at Saturday’s opening of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods with pals Sean Combs and Quincy Jones when he got a call from Carey. ‘He was summoned home by her at 1 in the morning,’ a source said. ‘He didn’t look happy about it.’”

They are still in the honeymoon phase, so this will pass over, I'm sure. In the meantime, the newlyweds are planning a $4 million ceremony sometime this summer to renew their vows (for those who weren't there the first time around).

Gotta love Hollywood love!!

Barack Obama Stands by Michelle


In recent media outlets, we find many people attacking Michelle Obama. From Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, calling Michelle a "washer woman" to more, we are so glad to see that Barack knows how to hold it down.

Barack stated,

“If they think that they’re going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful, because that I find unacceptable — the notion that you start attacking my wife or my family,” he said.

“For them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is just low class and I think they — most of the American people would think that as well,” he said. “I would never think of going after somebody’s spouse in a campaign.”

“If that’s something I start seeing during the course of this general election, I will have something to say about it. And I will say something to the Republican nominee, [Arizona Sen.] John McCain, about it because I would never consider going after his family,” he said. “If I saw Democrats doing that, I would call them out on it. And I would expect that he’s going to do the same thing because I think that family is off limits.”


Barack has handled this election with class and dignity. This says a lot about a man and how he carries himself. Barack truly knows what it takes to come out on top!!
