The ’08 BET Awards were held in Los Angeles on Tuesday. I peeped the show and while it had some great moments (gotta love Al Green and the girl groups), it wasn’t as good as expected. Anyway, peep some of these arrival and press room photos we got of the event. Tianna is going to hit you up with the fashion and performance photos later on today.
Apparently Michelle Obama’s appearance on The View last week was a big hit. So big infact, that the dress she wore by Donna Ricco sold out the next day according to reports. The designer’s response to MSNBC:
“I’m very happy. I’m very surprised. I had no idea she would be wearing this dress,” Ricco told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira Friday in New York. “But it’s sort of a natural happening for me, because I’ve been designing dresses a long time. We ship a lot of dresses to the stores, and I’m happy that Michelle chose this dress to wear on ‘The View.’ ” SOURCE
The dress retals at $148 but Ricco priced it at $99 on her website – of course its sold out on there as well…
Following days of scrutiny from the media and others, Sen. Barack Obama has stopped using a presidential-looking seal.
Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki said, “It was a one-time seal for a one-time use.”
The media slammed Obama for the seal, which includes an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch with the phrase “Vero Possumus” above it, a Latin phrase loosely translated as “Yes, we can”. Several journalists called it dumb, bizarre and arrogant.
The McCain campaign called the seal “laughable, ridiculous, preposterous and revealing–all at the same time.”
It looks like Obama may be using the real thing soon. The latest Newsweek poll shows him with a 15-point lead over Republican presidential nominee John McCain.
