TV NEWS: FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA TO APPEAR ON ‘EXTREME MAKEOVER’ / TOCCARA SEARCHES FOR LOVE ON ‘TV ONE’

Yep. The First Lady of these United States, Michelle Obama will be making an appearance on the ABC television show, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. She will be on the series to support the military family of 15-year U.S. Navy veteran Barbara Marshall and help Marshall’s mission of assisting homeless veterans by building them new homes:

The White House says Mrs. Obama will travel on Thursday to Fayetteville, N.C., where she will roll up her sleeves and help expand a community resource center for homeless female veterans located just outside the gates of Ft. Bragg. The first lady’s participation is framed as part of the “Joining Forces” initiative she began with Dr. Jill Biden to provide support and recognition to military veterans and their families. Mrs. Obama will work specifically on a new greenhouse and a children’s playhouse at the center, the Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House. [Source]

The new episode will air some time in October of this year. Kudos to the First Lady!
