Michelle Obama, the wife of U.S. Sen. & presidential candidate Barack Obama sat down with the Chicago Sun-Times and spoke on why she doesn’t like to wear a lot of makeup (too much work) and what she does on her free time. The Princeton & Harvard Law graduate also spoke on how she snagged Barack.
“What I talk about with my girlfriends is that before you start worrying about, ‘I don’t have a man,’ where are you in your own space, in your own head?” she told me. “What do I need to be as healthy and happy on my own with or without? And the minute you get that in order, it seems like things fall into place.” [ READ MORE ]
Good advice! On to the Round up!
AMY TREATED FOR EXHAUSTION
Word has it that Amy Winehouse passed out from exhaustion yesterday in London. Her rep confirmed that she had been taken to a London hospital and treated for “exhaustion.” The rep also says Winehouse has since been discharged and is currently at home. She has been ordered to take “complete rest.” All her current tour dates have been canceled.
DESPITE RUMORS, THEY ARE STILL MARRIED
Rumors about basketball star Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa circulated the net last week, claiming that they were on the verge of divorce and that they were seperated. Kobe told E! that the reports are 100 percent false. [ READ MORE ]
Please…Vanessa Bryant is a ‘business woman’…she ain’t leaving Kobe until she has at least 1 more baby…heffa…lol
i hope Obama or Hilary wins
and Amy.. ive juz got a simple WTFFFF
Kobe is hot.. i wudnt wanna leave him either.. oh and he’s loaded another plus…
That is so true @ what Michelle Obama said…You can’t be truly happy and ready to be in a relationship with someone else unless you are truly happy with yourself, by yourself…
And @ Amy Winehouse, exhaustion my ass…and that’s all I’m going to say about that…
I think Amy needs to be investigated…lol….this chick is LITERALLY high on crack in front of the publics eye YET she is still in the spotlight…I GUESS!
It’s very good advice and personally i know that it’s hard advice to follow.
Vanessa – yourself before money. If he would run up in somebody’s (ass) bareback and then come home and do you……..ewww…i would be happily married to him, f*ing somebody else except for him.
HOW CAN AMY WINEHOUSE BE EXHAUSTED WHEN SHE NEVER SHOWS UP TO ANYTHING???????????? shez a damn good artist but wat tha hell was she doin ta get so sick??? well………how she gits better
Is exhaustion just another way of saying Amy took too much crack?
I love Barack’s wife. I think she would make a GREAT First Lady.
Isn’t Amy Winehouse anorexic?…I completely agree w/ Michelle, Kobe-who cares?
Prediction: Hillary (president) and Obama (vice-president)…Sad to say but America would rather see a white woman be president than a black man.
Kobe lives by the “Its cheaper to keep her” motto
Amy CrackHouse just sad!!! Get that woman to Rehab ASAP!!!
MICHELLE OBAMA IS ONE OF MY LATEST ROLE MODELS
I LOVE A STRONG,EDUCATED, BLACK WOMEN WHOSE NURTURING AND KNOWS HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HER MAN AND HER CHILDREN WHILE MANAGING A CAREER-
GO OBAMA! I’M NOT SURE WHOSE GETTING MY VOTE THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION-
LOVE barack and michelle … black love power at its finest .. amy needs to eat a sammich and sit down somewhere … and why does kobe have on a women’s diamond ring … not a good look with the manicured nails
I agree with Michelle Obama on the make up thing, it is too much work. But she got herself a good man so she is doing something right
“Exhaustion” Mmmm hmmmm I think Amy may have passed out from not eating…
I heard that rumor about Kobe and Vanessa splitting glad they are keeping the fam togther.
SMH@ OBAMA’S WIFE, NE WAYZ, I KNEW AMY WAS TIRED! AND WHY DOES SHE WEAR HER LINER SO THICK?, I WEAR MINE THE SAME WAY, BUT I DON’T PUT IT ON WITH A PERMANENT MARKER GOTDAMN!, AND IS IT ME OR HAS KOBE’S WIFE WORE THAT DRESS B4?
Michelle is definitely on point…..Kobe is still my boi(basketteball wise) and Amy…..God bless ya
I love Michelle Obama…she is such an intelligent, well-spoken woman. A great representation of positive Black American women….and I recieved my Vibe mag with Obama on the cover! I’m LOVIN it…
Ya’ll know Kobe is not about to let Vanessa go…he has invested too much damn money on her and her damn family. Please he would rather jump off the Brooklyn Bridge…
You meant “Amy Winehouse Treated for Drug Abuse”? SMH she really needs some “Rehab”….
I love Michelle O. she is the epitome of class and elegence. I’m glad she is schooling women that real love starts with yourself.
While Amy is in the hospital can she stop by the dentist office and get those teeth taken care of? Hope she feels better tho
Eh to Kobe/Vanessa
Exhaustion……..I call bullshyt!
I wouldn’t leave Kobe FIONE ass either….If they happy let them be…Damn people so noisey..haha Wait a minute im one of those ppl…Oh well…haha
EXHAUSTION MY BUTT…Amy Lying behind she on that crack and that stuff is taking a toll on her and before you know it we will hear that she died of it, If she don’t stop playing with that stuff..
I hope Hilary and Obama WIN !!!! I would like to see how the world and USA would change from this or will it be a rebellion against it.
I cosign with #1….lmao…you crzy
Amy Winehouse treated for exhaustion?…..BS….the crack done took a toll on her ass
Michele Obama seems like real people.
Kobe….of course he is not getting a divorce. She has to wait a while, perhaps drop another kid, Then leave. I’m sure she will wait until he is almost done on his contract.
kind
LMAOO@LOVELY ABOUT AMY’S TEEFUSES! I AGREE MICHELLE IS A STRONG BLACK WOMAN! SMH, U CAN LEARN A LOT FROM HER…..
Although I think that Amy Winehouse is on some serious drugs…I still love her music!!
I totally agree with Obama’s wife…no need to elaborate.
Kobe…………………………………………………………………………………umm….still at a lost for words….
I love Kobe as a ball player and competitor, but spending all that bread on a ring smh he will never leave that girl after all that
Amy looks like crack whore.
Good advice Mrs. Obama. Amy needs to eat they need to pump food in her body.
I SAW KOBE ON JIMMY KIMMEL LAST AND REALIZED HE HAS NO PERSONALITY, BUT THE BOY CAN BALL.
No president with an AA wife, will ever be elected. That’s too many black people in charge. Her? Be the first lady? (LOL) When pigs breakdance and do algebra. Barack is doing to much black press. Why is his wife even speaking to the paper? And of all things about how she “snagged” Barack. What next, Barack on hot 97? Or on Fight Klub, battling Jin?
There’s no way middle america will let him electric slide his way into the white house. No matter how much mayonnaise he eats.
what is wrong with AMy Winehouse? Obama not in this century. I hate to say that too, but we all know the deal.. No African in the White House, I dont care how Light he is , he is still a n@##a..
KOBE WAS BORING ON JIMMY KIMMEL LAST NIGHT. AND WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED 2 KEEP ASKING TWISTED MOUTH, GOLD DIGGING, NO EDUCATION HAVING VANESSA STUPID QUESTIONS? SHE IS ALWAYS WEARING BLACK, ALWAYS POUTING. AND Y DID SHE HAVE THOSE DUMB BANGS. SHE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LAME.
of course the rumors about kobe and his wife are false..she is not stupid she knows that bank is about to get even fuller she would be a fool.
Amy really needs to take it easy with the drugs and drinking there is so much that .50lb body can take
I don’t know who I want to win between Hillary or Obama.. I like both, but need to hear more of what they stand for..
Definitely good advice from Michelle.. I had to learn that myself..
I heard Amy had 2 shows and they sucked! I hope not, cause
I hope that my man Barack or at least Bill’s wife win the election. We do not need anotha white republican in office. Bush has done his damage ya’ll… Just like a dude get a bitch pregnant then leave her ass… Bush has fucked America ya’ll and now his ass is leavin… But I think Barach could lead this country into a better, peacful place. I think this country is finally on the right path… I mean c’mon ya’ll… Who here doesn’t have family that were slaves once? Now a man of color has a chance (and a damn good one) at becoming that President. This is history in the making people… Our children and grandchildren will have to study about this shit. Now I also gotta be real and relaize that Bush DID make it in office two times in a row. So I know this country is still 51% fucked up- well at least in NOV 2004. I think some people learned a lesson though. But I still think that some people in this ignorant country will prefer a white woman over a black man. I think its safe to say that the prez will be democrat and even the republicans know that. All those fucked up people that voted for bush again would prefer bill’s bitch over Barack. It’ll be interesting to see how this all ends ya’ll but I do believe that this shit is history in the making. It’s a big thing. Word? And even if he don;t get it. Hilary aint so bad… I mean her husband was cool,… brotha got his cock sucked ya’ll! LOL… in the white house. You know a man that gets his cock sucked by his sec. is a bad ass man… a fucked up man but still cool man. Shit. Bill could be the First-Husband??? LOL… Ah shit… fun times… So do ya’ll think I got a point or what? Don;t be hatin… I just speak why comes from my heart…
Michelle O–I enjoyed her interview. I think every politician’s/actors/??? wife who has been interviewed has been asked the “how did you meet?” question. And she’s doing interviews because she’s trying to help her husband with his campaign.
Amy W–crackhead. That’s all the think about when I see her picture.
Kobe and Wife–not my favorite or even liked. They both annoy me.
I don’t think Kobe and Vanessa are happy at all, we all know he was leaving her until he got caught up in the scandal. Have any of you noticed that before all that mess happened we never saw Vanessa, but I guess at the advice of his crisis management team they have to look like the happy family.
Barack’s wife looks like an older version of Amerie.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Obama couple. A successful black couple spreading knowledge and black love… makes me know that there’s hope for us.
I am SO over Kobe and Vanessa. Who cares?!
whenever you see people putting out statements that they are happily married you know they are headed for a breakup.
no worry because i would definitly take kobe. i love him……………..for real.
i probably need therapy. lol. but i do love him.
Always glad to hear new about Barack Obama…my vote in 08!
Amy Winehouse needs to get it together! I mean she’s got talent, but that crack, I mean exahuastion is taking a toll on her….
Dang it Kobe! I thought you did something good for once in your life!
Obama and Michelle are quite the powercouple. Amy Whinehouse god bless you, you need help. Kobe and Vanessa like I said people always start rumors that are not true, no one knows what goes on in a persons relationship better than they do. Listening to rumors always leads you to the incorrect information, I suggest if you want to get to the truth you go straight to the person you have questions about or you
won’t get the correct information. Good luck in your marriage.
Amy Winehouse looks like a crackhead, and suffers from anorexia. besides her hair is a fcking mess.
I think Amy is Worn OUt, With the drugs alcohol and all the touring and promotion, she needs a break….
#28.. LMAO!! @ When pigs breakdance and do algebra.
Time of death: 1218
smh @ 33 Do you ever get tired ?
Amy looks a damn mess
why would kobe leave Vaness , she’s the NBA’s naddest wifeys .plenty of brothers would trade anything for that sexy bitch.
excellent advice mrs.obama, i hope others will embrace, and apply it in their lives.
these celeb-breakup rumors are becoming redundate. i never believe it until a reporter has actually conducted an interview with the 2 in question.
i guess this is the summer of all falls,faints,and dives geesh, get well ol girl.
Wow @ people co-signing on not leaving men who give other women anal sex while married.
The Bushes and the Clintons have had a lock on the executive branch for almost 20 years (1988)…do we really need another one (Clinton)? In the next couple of years we’ll probably hear about Jeb Bush running in 2012/2016! Politicians are scared of being kicked out of office for standing up for their values/beliefs, Congress can’t get anything done about immigration or Iraq, lobbying groups prevent Americans from getting proper healthcare and federal funds are not being used properly for education, national security and rebuilding after natural disasters etc. I think that having someone DIFFERENT as president, such as Obama would break the ineffective Bush/Clinton cycle. I think that if more (esp. young/african-american) voters would go to the polls then obama might have a chance, because Americans are sick and tired of the current situation. America WILL be ready for a black president if:
1. His fellow African-americans and this generation of people ages 18-40 support Obama through the polls AND
2. Obama can prove that he has what it takes to do what’s right for the country…not what’s right for the healthcare/gun industry etc.
IF I WAS VANESSA I WOULD DIVORCE HIS ASS SO FAST SHE’LL GET A LOT MORE WITH OUT HIM THEN WITH HIM AND SHE GOT HIS KIDS TO…OMG, SHE COULD CLEAN HIS ASS OUT. BUT HE’S THE SMART ONE HE KNOWS THAT IT’S CHEAPER TO KEEP HER. SHE DUMB, HE ALWAYS CHEATING ON HER ANYWAY, SHE NEED TO LEAVE HIM,I WOULN’T CARE ABOUT HIM BEING WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, I WOULD WIPE HIS ASS OUT SO FAST THAT HE WOULD’NT HAVE SHIT LEFT TO GIVE NOBODY ELSE
AMY WINEHOES NEEDS TO SIT HER FUNKY LOOKIN ASS DOWN, SHE CAN’T SING AND I’M SICK OF HER BEING IN THE MEDIA,SHE IS A POOR EXCUSE FOR A SINGER. SHE LOOKS LIKE A ANOREXIA,NAPPY HEAD,CRACKHEAD
Good for Michelle Obama.
Amy cocaine is a helluva drug and if you ain’t careful you gone be treated for more than exhaustion.
Kobe…..no comment.
love amy but between drug abuse alcohol and anorexia, it’s not a good look. maybe she needs to hit rehab after all. otherwise she might not be recording a third CD. plus its not great for your career to never be able to make an appearance….
WELL WE LEARNED ONE THING ABOUT KOBE THROUGH THAT RAPE TRIAL: HE’S A ASS FUCKER! NASTY BASTARD.
I KINDDA SORT OF FEEL SORRY FOR SOME OF THESE ATHELETES WIVES, YEP, THAT GOT TONS OF MONEY, BUT BE STEADILY TAKIN IT UP THE ASS OR IN THE NOSE, OR GOD KNOWS WHAT OTHER FREAKY CRAP THESE WOMEN SUBJECT THEMSELVES TO IN ORDER TO STAY WITH A “BALLER.” I DONT THINK I WANT ONE NOW.
4 all you vanessa haters……… first of all the rumor was he was filing for a divorce unless you heard otherwise, not filing for a divorce. thats when i will understand all the gold digging comment,don’t hate the player, hate the game. thats what he like so let it be. and lets be happy for a family that wants to stay together.. thats what marriage is about. so ladies sit back and wait your turn or just make your own money…… which you can always keep. good luck..
#53 your right………. it’s a headache and they are worst cause they got chicks on them 24/7
Michelle Obama embodies just a GREAT woman, forget the cliche “great black woman” that limits her.. she is just awsome for any woman!!
-Amy, i love her music but girl is crazy, and the “exhasution” bit is old. we know its drugs or atleast triggered by them.
-I hate to even comment on Kobe and his Flunky but neither of them are leavin…. esp. her theres no PRENUP! ! but whatever…
*i meant esp. Kobe.. not her.
Sad, but true # 28.
Amy is one ugly creature, she needs to head back to rehab ASAP.
Love her music though.
Who cares abut Kobye.
FreeCaf #28, You are an ignorant motherfucker. YOU ARE THE REASON WHY BLACK PPL CAN NEVER MAKE PROGRESSS IN SOCIETY. Some of yall really need to jump of ‘this is a white world, balcks can never make it” mentatility. That attitude will get you nowhere. I think the Obamas are a perfect coumple for the American public to follow, no matter their race. Im not bein naive, im being optimistic.
Michelle and Barack and the epitome of class and intellegence. America would be lucky to have them at the top. It’s funny that so many people here think America is not ready for a black president. Most of my white friends and coworkers are on the Obama band wagon. I only have one black friend who has given him any serious thought. So lets really think about this.
I don’t think African Americans are ready for a black president. I don’t think we believe we deserve to hold the highest office. It’s sad, but we are our own worst enemy.
