  • Matt Damon disappointed with Obama

    SPL56373_004

    Matt Damon, up for the role of a Kennedy, is not satisfied with Barack Obama’s performance.

    The actor said Obama’s health-care proposal and Afghanistan track record have left him disappointed.

    Damon, who campaigned for the Democrat in 2008, said: “Politics is compromise. I’m disappointed in the health-care plan and in the troop build-up in Afghanistan.”

    Damon, meanwhile, confirmed he was in talks for a role as Robert “Bobby” Kennedy, the brother of the late President John F Kennedy, in a yet-to-be-titled biopic. Robert was assassinated in 1968 in Los Angeles.

    He added: “Everyone feels a little let-down because, on some level, people expected all their problems to go away.

    “But real change comes from everyday people. You can’t wait for a leader.”

  • Palin among Walters’ 10 most fascinating people

    Barbara Walters will feature the Jackson children, Sarah Palin and Kate Gosselin on her TV special The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2009.

    Whether or not Prince Michael I, Paris Katherine and Blanket have been interviewed for the program is not known.

    The children, who are evidently being counted as one person, were shielded from the spotlight after their father Michael died suddenly in June.

    Other picks are Lady GaGa, Adam Lambert, Glenn Beck, Tyler Perry, Brett Favre and South Carolina governor’s wife Jenny Sanford.

    Veteran fireside journalist Walters has kept the tenth interview a secret. But it won’t be US President Barack Obama, as he filled the mystery slot in last year’s edition.

    The program will air on ABC on December 9.

  • Angelina Jolie ‘rows’ with Brad Pitt over US President Barack Obama

    SPL82554_005

    Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie is reportedly not keen on US President Barack Obama and constantly argues with her boyfriend Brad Pitt, who is a big fan.

    A source close to the 34-year-old star said to Us Weekly: “She hates him [Obama].”

    The source added: “She’s into education and rehabilitation and thinks Obama is all about welfare and handouts. She thinks Obama is really a socialist in disguise. Angie isn’t Republican, but she thinks Obama is all smoke and mirrors.”

    However, Pitt, 45, doesn’t share her political views and is a fan of the President.

    The source added: “They get in nasty arguments all the time about it. She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but, in the end, this won’t tear them apart.”

  • US First Lady takes a walk on Sesame Street with new friend Elmo

    Michelle Obama has made a new friend and he’s short, red, furry and has an orange nose.

    The 45-year-old US First Lady appeared with Elmo – the squeaky-voiced puppet from Sesame Street – in a TV ad to encourage children to eat healthy food and exercise.

    In the public service announcement that is aired in the US, Mrs Obama looks at the screen and tells parents: “If you want your child to have healthy habits, practice healthy habits because you’re your child’s best role model.”

    Asked by her furry friend what she wanted to do on Sesame Street she said: “First I want to get some exercise so I want to take a walk around Sesame Street.”

    Delighted at her suggestion, Elmo said: “Well if Mrs Obama exercises, Elmo wants to exercise too. Yay, exercise!”

    The First Lady didn’t have time to speak to viewers at home for long before her new friend, grabbing her hand and pulling her away, said: “Come on Mrs Obama.”

  • Michael Jackson’s tour promoter says he insisted on having a 24/7 doctor like Obama

    Michael Jackson was insistent about taking his personal doctor with him on his doomed London tour despite being advised against it, says promoter Randy Phillips.

    Phillips, who is chief executive of AEG Live, the company behind the 50-concert series, was with Jackson when he was in a state of cardiac arrest.

    He told Britain’s Sky News that he advised the singer against bringing Conrad Murray, a trained cardiologist, due to the cost. “Michael told me, ‘You don’t understand. My body is the machine that fuels this business and I need personal care and I want a doctor 24/7 like President Obama would have, and this is my doctor’.”

    Phillips said Jackson told him Murray had been his doctor for three years. He said Jackson insisted on having him on staff throughout the rehearsals and the run of upcoming UK shows.

    Phillips said he was outside the hospital room while Jackson was being worked on for an hour-and-a-half – and that it seemed an eternity.

    “I was sitting in a chair right outside the … operating room, and there was tons of activity, and they were trying to resuscitate him and save him and working really hard, the doctors, nurses, everybody … I sat there … it seemed, honestly, it seemed like an eternity. But it took about an hour, an hour-and a-half before the nurse came out and told [manager] Frank [DiLeo] and I that there was no hope.”

    He said it was Murray who broke the devastating news of Jackson’s death to the megastar’s three children.

    “I stood at the doorway when they went in and they told them and just the look of fear in their faces … it was hard,” Phillips said. “I’ll think about that the rest of my life. But they seem to be doing really well now.”

  • Harrison Ford takes family to visit the White House

    Hollywood star Harrison Ford is no stranger to the White House.

    He played a President in Air Force One, played someone protecting the president and even went to high school with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    So it was no surprise the actor has just taken a tour of the famous presidential home in Washington DC.

    Ford took fianceé Calista Flockhart and her son Liam on the tour over the weekend and the group spent time inside the White House briefing room.

    In there they snapped photos while Flockhart asked Liam: “Isn’t this cool?”

    Ford and Flockhart also spent time looking at the name tags under the chairs and pointed at White House Press Corp member Helen Thomas’s chair.

    According to a report on politico.com Ford asked a White House aide if President Obama had actually done a briefing in the briefing room.

    But the aide told him no, mostly because of the room’s shortage of seats.

  • Actor Kal Penn in White House team

    The Obama Administration has hired actor Kal Penn as a liaison officer who will be the ‘key’ between Obama’s office and Hollywood. White House has officially contracted him into the President’s staff as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison.

    Penn has starred in a movie “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guananmo Bay” where he played Kumar. Well Kumar sound more like a Bollywood import wonder why he has been asked to handle Hollywood affairs it seems he is more qualified to handle Bollywood dealings or matter of interest in the Indian Subcontinent.

    I think President Barack Obama is getting some of his policies wrong now, recently when he was in the UK he present the Queen with an iPod and now he wants someone to assist him on matter pertaining to Hollywood.

    Why the Hell does the President need a liaison for Hollywood…I wish he would start getting serious.

  • US First Lady Michelle Obama to do feature on Vogue’s Cover


    There should now be no doubts that the First Lady of the United States is also the first lady of US fashion that because she will be the cover of the March issue of fashion magazine Vogue. The First Lady will be appearing in magenta silk sheath dress by Jason Wu.

    She will become the only second US president wife to grace the cover of magazine. Andre Leon Talley Vogue’s editor said that his interview with Mrs. Obama was “one of the best experiences of my life.”

    Michelle Obama understands that people would be judging her wardrobe almost every time she puts on something new but will never apologize for the choices she will make. She says “I’m not going to pretend that I don’t care about it,” she said. “But I also have to be very practical. In the end, someone will always not like what you wear — people just have different tastes.”

    People kind of feel that since they have chosen Barack Obama as their president Michelle too falls into their scheme of things and they can judge her and make freewheeling comments, she has her own fashion sense and let me tell you there will be a large section of people who follow her fashion sense just because they love her too much.

  • Oprah shifts entire show to Washington D.C. Barack Obama Inauguration Day


    In the words of Oprah Winfrey, Washington D.C. is the place to be this week and she has taken her entire crew and show to the capital of the United States of America. “On this very special MLK day, I can’t think of any place I’d rather be in the world than right here, right now,” Winfrey said.

  • CNN medical correspondent the next Surgeon General?

    American healthcare will never be the same again if reports that Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN’s chief medical correspondent has indeed been offered a job by President-elect Barack Obama as US Surgeon General. People Magazine has named Gupta one of the Sexiest Men Alive in its 2003 issue and this has made him quite a celebrity not only in CNN but even in Hollywood. Gupta’s stance in steering clear of Obama-related issues has been interpreted by some sectors as proof that he is indeed joining Obama’s administration.

    The 39-year old Gupta, who is a graduate of the University of Michigan and, has served as special advisor to former First Lady Hillary Clinton prior to joining CNN in 2001. He is the anchor of “House Call”, a columnist for the Time, a podcaster and part of the highly successful television show ER. Gupta is seen as an ideal choice not only because of his medical experience but because of what he can accomplish in terms of bringing to the public’s attention significant health issues like obesity, HIV and diabetes among others.

  • MAKING MONEY ON CHANGE


    Hollywood’s looking to make some money on the back of ‘change’!
    NBC is now developing a comedy show which is highly based on the book Making Friends With Black People, reports Variety.
    The show will obviously be focusing on the state of race relations in the U.S.
    The show’s story will be centered on two guys — one African-American and one white — who become close friends, but who don’t necessarily see things the same way.
    The book’s author, Nick Adams, said, “From time to time, race bubbles up in the consciousness of the country and then dissipates. Now, with Obama, people are talking about race a lot more. We hope to capitalize on that and not let the dialogue die down. … It seemed like a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.”
    Good for you NBC!
    Strike while the iron is hot!

  • John Mayer Blogs for Barack Obama

    John Mayer has been known as an avid blogger. He usually just rants off about nothing though. Putting his blogging to good use, he wrote for the Huffington Post about his support for Barack Obama and his belief in hope. He said “I believe the definition of the “hope” that Barack Obama enthuses operates on the unspoken thesis that there has to be a polar opposite to the despair of 9/11. Because if we accept that there’s not, the will to live becomes forever altered. To adults who will vote for him, Barack Obama represents a return to prosperity. To the youth, he represents an introduction to it.”
