No 'First Wives Club' For Bruni

Carla snubs G20

(NEWSER) - There was a noticeable no-show at the “first wives club” meeting in London—and at the G20 in general.

Michelle Tells Stewart About 'Post-Dope' Obama

Obama 'realized he could do more with his life,' she says

(NEWSER) - Michelle Obama capped a media blitz that included visits to Good Morning America and the View with an appearance on the Daily Show last night. The first lady, ostensibly promoting her new cookbook, didn't take the bait when Jon Stewart asked about her husband's pot-smoking high school years, which the host likened to "the script of a Cheech and Chong movie." Without directly addressing Obama's marijuana use, Michelle said he had changed during his college years after he realized he "could do more with his life." More»

Michelle: I'd Love to Be Beyoncé

'Musicians have the most fun,' says first lady

(NEWSER) - Who would Michelle Obama be if she could be someone else? Beyoncé. Just one problem: The first lady can't sing. "Gosh, if I had some gift, I’d be Beyoncé.

"The power of music, being able to play an instrument ... it looks like musicians just have the most fun." It's a mutual admiration society as far as Beyoncé is concerned. “I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to,” Beyoncé wrote to Michelle last month, calling her “the ultimate example of a truly strong African-American woman.” More»

(NEWSER) - Watch out, Robert De Niro, you're on Newt Gingrich's bad side: Gingrich slammed the actor today after De Niro made a joke about first ladies last night at an Obama fundraiser.

First lady dishes on husband's skills with Jay Leno

(NEWSER) - If you thought the recent clip of President Obama singing was a fluke, think again: "He does have a beautiful voice, and he sings to me all the time," Michelle Obama told Jay Leno last night. Her husband often sings that very same song (Al Green's "Let's Stay Together"), she said, adding, "He sings a lot of Al Green, Marvin Gaye, a little Stevie [Wonder]. He likes the classics." More»
