Yes, that’s rapper T.I. dressed as a traffic cop directing traffic yesterday on the set of his new film “Bone Deep” also starring the geeky Chris Brown. No doubt T.I.’s experience with law enforcement in recent years made him the perfect choice for this role. T.I. will be in town all next week for the 2008 BET Hip Hop Awards taping on Oct. 18 at the Atlanta Civic Center.
Michelle Obama waves at paparazzi as she leaves the Time Warner building in NYC. Michelle was a guest on CNN’s Larry King Live last night. Once again we ask, why isn’t Michelle running for president instead of her husband who, I’m told, sought the advice of a speech coach recently to help him lose his annoying “uh” tic?
Even Michelle says she focuses intently on Barack’s words to make sure she understands what he’s attempting to convey. You don’t believe me? Read on.
When Larry asked whether she was offended when John McCain called Barack Obama “that one” during the presidential debate, Michelle responded:
“No. No. I have to say that, you know, in these debates, I am so focused on what Barack is saying, you know, and how he is, you know, phrasing his words. And I’m really trying, you know, to listen to the substance of what he’s saying to, you know, make sure that I understand what’s going on…”
Well, if that don’t beat all. It looks like Michelle needs to make an appointment with the speech coach herself, lol. 
Sean “Diddy” Combs will be in Atlanta today to celebrate 10 years of his Sean John Collection at Macy’s Lenox Square. Sean was spotted at a Madonna concert in NY on Tuesday with his left arm in a sling. Word is Sean had “minor surgery” on his arm which could mean anything knowing this guy. Sean is also scheduled to have dinner with industry friends at his Justin’s restaurant, and later tonight he will lift Ciroc and Patron bottles at the Velvet Room. Ladies free all night.

I admire Mrs. Michelle Obama .. a class act.
Michelle donot need a speech coach, stop HATING, and yes Michelle should run for president but then she knows her place behind every successful black men theres a strong black woman go chew on that!!!!
Morn MizzD ! I need to start eating breakfast before I log on … sippin on Hater-aide isn’t good in the mornin.
I’m going to need you to leave Michelle alone real talk..as for her saying she wasn’t offended..she was but it’s bigger than Mccain’s childish antics..he’s playing himself..we know and he knows it..to win you need a poker face..never let them see you sweat…McCain hasn’t figured that out yet..damn uppity negroes, will get a redneck each time i tell ya
Everytime I see T.I. it makes me want to feed him. He is so little! I’m suprised Diddy didn’t go all out and make a “Sean John” sling.
EVERYBODY DUCK YOUR HEADS……HERE COMES SANDRA WITH THE HATE!!
Its called telling the truth…. U dont need to take notes or have index cards with lies written on them when u’re being honest. I guess Mccain’s whisperin azz constantly callin us his friends means he doesnt need a speech coach. Funny how we never heard his hussy of a wife speak.
And that dummy Palin needs somethin cuz everything that comes outta her mouth sounds folksy. Please….
*wonder is that’s the uniform the C.O’s have where T.I is going*
He’s familiarizing himself with the establishment
He looks cute in it!
Maybe he should try on an extra smedium orange jumpsuit and pick up trash on the side of the road and get familiar with that, too.
Speech coach???I don’t think she needs it.
Lol, they got a coach who teaches class, some people need that!
@ Divine .. I was crackin up at the pic .. he look like a lil boy playing Dress up … lol .. lol .. extra SMEDIUM … lol
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Michelle’s speech that would warrant a speech coach. She’s always elegant, poised and on point. She’s very smart and intelligent. Yes, she should have ran for president, however, she see’s the greatness in her husband and made a wise decision to stand by her husband. To support him to the fullest and wait for him to win this damn election and then, help him run the white house. To show all those before her how it’s really done!
LOL @ Alana # 5 -
Morning, Kym Im at my desk eating on fruity pebbles ** smile**
Good Morning Charles,
Shower us with your ignorant ass hate, tell us how Barack isn’t going to win, come on Charles! I need to hear your foolishness first thing in the morning, I need to hear you tell me McCain/Palin is a better choice while the stock marker is going to hell on a rocket, motivate me to stay loyal to my master and not vote for the first black president ever in the history of America, I know you can do it!
Sandra, Michelle said that she focuses on Barack because Larry King was asking her if she pays any attention to Sen. McSane (McCain) and what he says about Barack Obama. She is not intertaining the ingnorance of the McCain/Palin team. She is stating her point that she doesn’t let their negative comments and lies affect her or her husband. She focuses Counrty First and her Husband. Unlike “That Other One”.
Oh, Stefany, please don’t get Charles started. I don’t know if I can handle him today.
Amen to that MrsJones .. AMEN !
Oh, Stefany, please don’t get Charles started. I don’t know if I can handle him today.

@MRSJONESK & Kymystry
Sorry! I don’t know I’m being messy this early in the morning!LOL!
@ stefany .. it’s alright .. I brace myself for his foolishness on almost every post …
Auntie says that he’s a progressive thinker… ummmm.. OK .
great minds think of ideas .. thats what I was always taught .. he likes to TRY to incite arguments and foolishness …. I just read and shake my head … I don’t even respond when he TRIES to push my buttons …
Awwwww look at little Clifford already dressed up in his little halloween costume…..TRICK OR TWEAT!!!
And Sandra I know how you like to get us all hyped up in the morning. You know that Palin is the one who needs speech classes, english classes, common sense classes, answer the D A M N question classes because her and Mccain love to dance around the questions that are thrown at them. Between Mccain callin us “his friends” and Palin rambling on like my drunk uncle, my mind just hurts at the thought of them being in office.
wait,
now michelle ?
well i like michelle, she is so cool. she can do nor has she did anything wrong in my book.
lol @ extra small orange jump suit. lol that made me laugh….
sean combs is not fooling me. he went on and on bragging about how good of a lover he is - which naturally turns women off. so now he’s been forced to please himself - and threw his elbow out of socket…..
Tip can put on anything and still be sexy, he’s just a really handsome dude, you have to admit that—SkiNN-T and all, LOL!
as for Diddy could somebody tell him getting a depo shot does not count as surgery…!!!, now if he got the neuroplant..I’ll cut him some slack.****!
Did anybody see crack head Cindy McCain with her fake ass cry of outrage in her speech yesterday suppoesdly being upset with Obama because he voted against funding for our troops when in fact her husband McLame voted the same exact way..She was so pathetic I just shook my head, Cindy and Sarah Palin with their hate filled terrorist speeches at their conservative klan rallies is starting to get on my damn nerves.

See what happens when a husband/man does not share what he did at work. Of course his wife can google what he did or did not vote on. A woman is usually the backbone of a family. I guess McCain only goes for looks because neither Sarah nor Cindy are helping his campaign. They are too dumb to realize they are working for the other presidential candiadate and not even on the payroll. LOL.
Sandra, for the life of me, I can’t understand why you dissing Michelle Obama. (She’s a class act, period.) I can understand you dissing Beyonce and other celebrities but Mrs. Obama? And in these trying times when black folks need to stand together, finally and forever, and help elect the first EVER black president of this great United States? Childddddddddd, what drugs are you on? I know you like to stir the pot Sandra but please stir it somewhere else, like how the white man is trying to blame minorities for the financial crisis. (Community Reinvestment Act of 1977) And yes, America is STILL the greatest country in the world. Peace,
@Anna
They look like damn fools, not only are they lying on Obama but they’er riding on some old shyt America has already heard before, if you’re going to critize your opponent at least try to discredit him on current issue that matter to people rather than the boggie man terrorist in the closet routine.

@PAHairston
Don’t waste your time trying to figure it out..I guess you got to be a hoodrat like Tiny or Keshia Cole or have a scarecrow brain like Sarah Palin to get some respect..Besides Michelle is married to a smart, powerful black man and you know that’s a no, no around here.
I thought TI was a lil Asian police officer off of Rush Hour. I’m like are they coming out with another one, that would make Rush Hour #4,080.
Well, if that don’t beat all. It looks like Michelle needs to make an appointment with the speech coach herself, lol.

No you didn’t. Michelle has degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law. And you said she needs what?
