    My first Lady looks sooo genuine. I love her!!!

  2. SelieSel

    Go Michelle!!

    I love CHRISETTE!!!

    I think it’s sad that not more black celebs are taking action regarding the post katrina situation. Or maybe it’s the typical media; no coverage when we’re out doing good thangs.

  3. Queen Bee

    Thats so good for Michelle Obama to take time out and help others. Thats why I look up to her in such a postitve way. :)

  4. yumyo (1 month old bebe)

  7. Shellboogie

    I love that we have a President and First lady that really cares for the people. They acknowledge that they work for us and are above volunteering at a soup kitchen.

    2008 and 2012 Obama President for the people, by the people, and with the people.

    I love it !!!!!

  8. Shellboogie

    I menat to say” Not above” oops it happens.

  9. Now First Lady Miss. Obama is one of the great inspirational people I look up to; Strong, Opinion, Loyal to her man, Never forgot where she came from. All those things make up an amazing person! I don’t want to sound mean but I’m sick of seeing Brad Pitt. I know he’s trying to do good but the whole Brangelina thing has gotten old, they don’t have to be in the spotlight all the time, on the covers of magazine with every child Angie gives birth to, to make a difference in the world. Just take care of you kids already! Hope nobody jumps down my throat for saying that lol.

  10. the_one

  11. Kelly

    Sunny San Diego, CA ya dig!

  12. lovelylady

    Glad to hear something positive in the world for a change. Brad is doing the White House thang. Maybe more celebs will get on the band wagon. Lord know they have the money to spare. Look at the expensive ass clothes they rock. (and the gimped up hair like C. Mili.) That look aint cheap. Those people still need help. Shout out and much love to all those in NOLA!!

  13. queen tee

    GOOD JOB BRAD PITT TAKE CARE OF MY HOMETOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. brandi

    lol i agree with everything you said simplylovely.

  15. brandi

    simplylovely i agree with everything you said lol!

    I heart Michelle! She is just a great role model all around- First Lady or not!
    If this Presidency doesnt do anything else- it has given people of colour hope and I certainly can’t be mad at that!
    I think that Brad and Angelina are doing a lot for the causes that they support. They donate not only money but time and energy to bring light to situations that white america wouldn’t even bother with and that is comendable. I know that they wish more than anything they weren’t in the paparazzi’s limelight but while they are they are going to use it for good. I love them as a couple!
    Now Ice-T?… ummm no sir!!

  17. Angelicious07

    I love Michelle!
    Big ups to Ice T and Chrisette. There should be more emphasis on keeping music in schools. I played in the band in high school and if it wasn’t for the band a lot of us would have not been interested in school. Down here in New Orleans (Pre-Katrina) band practice were like a social gathering and it brought kids together. We challenged other schools during football and parade season – it was exciting for us band-heads.
    As for Brad Pitt giving back to the community – that’s what’s up. BUT there is more to New Orleans than the lower 9th ward and the French Quarters. There are ppl who live in between those areas. More than the lower 9th ward was under water.

    Mrs Obama!!! I love her.

    Good for Ice- T aka The trash talker!!

    I love Brad too.

  19. Slanted

  20. Slanted

    luv Chrisette & adore Michelle…….Luvs Pitt’s efforts as well….I agree w/# 17 I usta want to be an art teacher and it pained me to see them cutting those classes…..kids need more than academics in schools…..

  21. RENAE

    #9: Why would you be offended by those who try to help others, regardless of who they are or how much coverage/exposure they get? Thats the problem not enough people are trying to make a difference and when someone does petty ones have something to say.

    I think more people who are financially blessed should should jump on the bandwagon and help does who are in need.

  22. RENAE

    I mean those that are in need

  23. XIII

    New Orleans!!!!!!
    Brad Pitt and Angie are GOOD people.
    God Bless them.

    First Lady Michelle is a role model of mine behind my own momma. And I hope that the Obama administration will consider looking into Brad’s, “Make It Right” project.

  25. Queen

    Michelle Obama is my role model! I’ve been saying this for 2 years and I am so happy that I can still say it!

    Brad Pitt is the sexiest white dude ever! I am so happy that he is bringing awareness to the Katrina issue…especially with his celeb status….that is B-I-G!
