SPOTTED: CELEBS AT OBAMA FUND-RAISER
Thursday, June 19, 2008
Michelle Obama, who recently co-hosted the view, was spotted leaving a Celebrity Fund-Raiser in honor of her husband, Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama and his campaign earlier this week. Celebrities like Spike Lee, Andre Leon Talley (Vogue editor-at-large), Iman and more attended the event.
According to sources, Talley wants to collab with Michelle on fashion ideas…
“Andre wants to take over Michelle Obama the way he commandeered Jennifer Hudson,” said our source. Talley told the Times earlier this month: “A black Camelot moment is the right moment for the Obamas, and so the faux pearls, the A-line dresses, the Jackie flip are obviously all part of how her image strategy has evolved.”
Keep reading to view more photos of celebs leaving the event.

As long as he dont dress her like he dresses himself I’m with it….but she has been doing just fine with her own designer from the Chi…loved that purple dress she wore and the dress from the Black/White Market on the View was cute too. Come on Celebs get out and support Obama

Michelle………….STAY AWAY FROM MS. ANDRE! If the Republicans put some money in his pocket, he will have you looking like JHUD on Oscar night. To this day I really believe someone paid him to ensure that Jen came to the Oscars looking like Blacula. I just think it’s ashamed that she didn’t have enought guts to stand up to him. Jen knew the dress was a hot mess, but he demanded that she wear it.

Seeing what ANDRE wears I’m sorry Michelle needs to STAY FAR AWAY from him. I mean look at the shoes and turban………..He’s free to do what he wants, but when you see how he styles himself he couldn’t style Michelle with grace and class.

That’s the best I’ve ever seen Spike’s wife. I looooove Isaac Mizrahi. I want them to bring his show back on the Style Channel. Savannah, LeBron’s girl, always looks good.

IImma need Andre to fall back - love Michelle just the way she is. He had more than few “misses” with JHud.

Oh my.. Andre Talley? hmmmm not sure he is the person to re-style Michelle..lol.. sometime he’s on point and other times most questionable..lol..
Wow love The Lee’s……
off topic, LL was riding the A train yesterday, saw him waiting on my platform in downtwn Manhattan watching the subway entertainment. That man is fine beautiful skin very approachable and while I didn’t go running up to him cuz that’s not my thing when I see celebs in NY we did make eye contact and he licked his lips for me and smiled…lol.. but yup he got on the train headed uptown when it came….

Oh and when is that chick gonna marry Lebron??? WTH is she waiting on the next chick to snatch him?! Maybe she’s making some elaborate ass 3 yr worth of wedding plans? Eff all that I would have been had dude down at the Courthouse signing that marriage certificate!! Dumb broad….you snooze you loose!

every one looks lovely and the vogue editor needs to stop please. He did a less than stellar job with Jhud, I dont know what makes him think he should design Michelle. She needs to stick with the Chicago designer she spoke of and her sense of style and leave that man and his randomness before he has her in a questionable bolero like he did Jhud on oscar night

Michelle Obama is so flyy!!!! I didn’t think that what Whopi said to her when she said that’s it’s good to see a black woman on t.v. w/ her teeth and w/out gold teeth. What Whopi said was true but I don’t think it was appropriate to say @ the time.

@27 I loved when Whoopi made that comment, it was so true. You never see any articulate Black women on tv unless they’re anchors on the news.
The comment kind of made everyone uncomfortable, but it needed to be said. America needs to wake up as to how we are portrayed in the media.
I am so proud of Michelle Obama. She’s educated, articulate, well dressed and beautiful. Babara with her speech impediment tried to trap her, but she handled the interview so well.

>>Love Andre, but he had J.Hud looking crazy…And please NO Flip! Michelle’s hair looks crazky flipped, that style is too old fashion! And her eyebrows are a mess! ……..I would rather Oprah’s ppl work with her, the O stays age - approprately fly!

Dude should find someone else to become his project! Because Mrs. Obama has her own people to design her clothing. She a real woman and most importantly a real Black woman. The Obamas are real not the Cosbys and that’s what really makes me proud. That sometimes if you do the right things and sacifice and achieve your goals one step at a time that good things may occur. Sure she may be a strong woman but she also is a good mom and a great wife. Because if there were problems in their marriage, it would be news. Obama 08

i don’t blame Ms. Andre for trying to get at Michelle. From what people are talking about every designer in NY is trying to HOLLA. She is 5′11″ with a nice curvy but slender frame. I just hope she threw his card in the trash before leaving the fund raiser. I would like to see Michelle give an up and coming designer a chance instead of the usual hags.

Andre Tally could not style my two darling Chihuahuas….Michelle, run far away from that Tranny Euro-Negro wanna be. Be reminds me of Babu the genie from the funky phantom cartoon…LOLOLOL
She is simply eloquent and holds her own….I am sure there are a ton of other stylist that are more deserving.

Michelle Obama looks fab……I like her hair like this way WAYYYY better than it flipped out (I hate that, it looked harsh…maybe if her hair was longer and in different layers)…..she did a great job on “the view”……….iman go sit down, we get it we get it you are VERY pretty and I am jealous lol…..spike lee’s wife looks nice

If Michelle has seen what the rest of us have, she won’t let Talley near her. I am certain he has some talent for he wouldn’t be with Vogue. But it’s too risky to let him near the next first lady. Let him continue torturing new starlets with his crazy fashion choices–yuck!
