Michelle is the new fashion
Editor's Note: I thought this post was cute and true. More women are being seen wearing large pearls, little black sweaters and that gorgeous black belt Michelle has worn. It helps that she could easily walk the runway at 5'11". Fabulous!
"The Wall Street Journal finally discovered our fashion crush on Michelle Obama. And clearly we have plenty of company. Following her appearance on The View (another secret love) women across the nation are flocking to White House/Black Market to buy the $148 dress Michelle wore on the show."

Ungrateful Actress?
Katherine Heigl, known as an actress who plays a doctor, on Grey's Anatomy and sometimes film actress (Knocked Up) said she doesn't want to be nominated for an Emmy because of bad "material."
It must be so nice to ride on a horse so high up in the air.
What is wrong with this woman? Is this a publicity stunt? Is it a swipe at her boss?
I would fire her if I were her boss.
The oh-so-high-on-her-horse actress said she also didn't want to stand in the way of anyone who got to act on a show with better "material." Whahh Whahh.
Grey's Anatomy is a highly rated show and a pretty good watch.
Creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes should fire her ass for biting the hand that feeds her. She can be replaced. There are thousands of talented actresses who would love to stand in Heigl's shoes. Ingrate.
