First Lady Michelle Obama Covers April's Vogue

First Lady Michelle Obama is looking absolutely beautiful on the April cover of Vogue! For her second appearance in the fashion mag, Ms. Michelle is rocking her new bangs with a great sleveless blue dress that show off her toned arms.

In her interview with the magazine, First Lady Michelle reiterated how important parenting is to both her and President Barach Obama, and how they keep daughters Malia and Sasha #1 in spite of their hectic schedules. "Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they're growing every day," she explained. "But I think we were both pretty straightforward when we said, 'Our No. 1 priority is making sure that our family is whole.'"

Amanda Bynes Charged With DUI, Begs President Obama For Help

Amanda Bynes has been formally charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs following an April 6 run-in with a cop car. It's been reported that Bynes is also accused of refusing a police officer's request to complete a chemical test to determine what substances were in her system.

After being charged, she tweeted President Barack Obama to help her out...and to fire the cop who charged her! "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me," she wrote to his Twitter account. "I also don't hit and run. The end."

In this incident, Amanda was involved in an alleged hit-and-run in Hollywood. She sideswiped another vehicle while she was trying to pass on the right in her Range Rover SUV. She continued driving after the hit, but apparently cooperated with police when they pulled her over, saying that she didn't realize she hit the other car.

Amanda.....girl. One, what is it with all of this trouble you're landing yourself into lately? And two, going to President Obama for help? And through Twitter no less? The President of the United States of America has way more important things to do than to fulfill your revenge plot on some cop. Things like the war, unemployment, his re-election campaign, things of that nature. Get back into acting. PLEASE. You have too much free time lately to me. Idle bodies equal trouble!

Lady Gaga Addresses Bullying at President Obama's Fundraiser

According to ABC, Lady Gaga was a guest Sunday at a fundraiser hosted by President Barack Obama. The fundraiser was held at the home of Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg and David Goldberg in Atherton, Calif.

Gaga asked a question during the Q&A session of the event. She thanked the president for his accomplishments , then read from a letter from a fan about the suicide of another fan, Jamey Rodemeyer, who had been subjected to bullying because he was gay.

She thanked Obama for hosting his anti-bullying conference with First Lady Michelle Obama, and then begged everyone in the room, including the president, to do what they can to prevent bullying. Obama thanked her, and spoke about his administration’s anti-bullying campaign.

I commend Gaga for bringing up the issue. Bullying is a serious problem in this country, and too many young people are committing suicide because of the hurtful words and actions of others. It's very sad to hear and read about. It's not like I have a straight out plan to prevent bullying from happening, but  I do know that something has to be done. There needs to be more monitoring on this in schools, harsher consequences. I always say that there is power in the tongue, and one sentence can change someone's life, positively or negatively. Something needs to be done.
