Selita Ebanks attended the New Yorkers for Children reception hosted by Vogue at Valentino last night in New York City. I forget who Selita laid up with to get put on in the industry. Others who are more talented than Selita, work hard for years to get put on. But when your body is banging like hers is, sometimes that’s all it takes.
Later in the evening, Selita Ebanks attended a party at M2 in NYC.

Obama Snacks Don’t Go Down Well in Indonesia
From AFP:
A gimmicky snack bearing a caricature of US President Barack Obama making a peace sign has gone on sale in Indonesia, but worried consumer activists are already calling for it to be banned. The “Obama” snack packet shows a grinning Obama making a peace sign with his right hand and spinning the globe like a basketball on the fingers of his left hand.
Yes, but are the snacks tasty?
Man Murders New Bride, 3 Children
A massive manhunt is underway in Cleveland, Ohio for the coward who shot and killed his new wife of four days then turned the gun on 4 children, killing 3. The surviving child, a 12-year-old boy, is in critical condition. Two of the dead children are twin boys.
Davon Crawford’s wife, Lechea Crawford, 30, reportedly sent a text message to her father about one hour before the shootings: “Call me, live your life, love it.” That was the last thing she would say to him.
Crawford, 33, is accused of gunning down his wife, her sister Rose Stevens, 25; and three of Stevens’ children: Destiny Woods, 5, and Dion and Davion Primm, 2-year-old twin boys, CNN affiliate WKYC reported.
Asked what led to the shooting, Police Chief Michael McGrath said, “it looks like it was some type of domestic argument that sparked this tragedy.” LINK
Dr. Sanjay Gupta to Obama: ‘No thanks, I’ll pass’
CNN’s medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta withdrew his name from consideration as Surgeon General yesterday.
-
CNN medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta withdrew Thursday from consideration to be the next surgeon general, with the network and Obama administration officials attributing his decision to professional and family reasons amid a campaign by some liberal interest groups to block his selection.
CNN reported that Gupta, a neurosurgeon, decided to withdraw so that he could continue to practice medicine, work as a journalist and spend more time with his family.
Administration officials cited the same reasons.
“Sanjay Gupta was under serious consideration for the job of surgeon general. He has removed himself from consideration to focus more on his medical career and his family,” said an Obama administration official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Dr. Gupta’s name is added to the growing list of potential candidates who have declined positions within the Obama administration.
In addition to his work on CNN, Dr. Gupta also maintains a private practice and performs surgery at Atlanta’s Grady hospital.
Oprah Finally Shares Her Cover With Another Human
Oprah Winfrey is notorious for hogging the covers of her magazine “O” for herself or her spoiled dogs. But she finally shares this month’s issue with another human being, First Lady Michelle Obama.
The cover was taken when Oprah visited the Obama’s new digs in D.C. recently. There were rumors that Michelle was salty with Oprah for claiming Barack Obama’s victory in the elections was all her doing. But we know Michelle has more sense than to be that catty.
Here’s what Michelle said about her new crib:
“It’s a beautiful home,” Michelle tells Oprah of her new digs. “When you go out and come back, especially at night, with all the white lights on – it’s just beautiful. We feel privileged, and we feel a responsibility to make it feel like the people’s house. We have the good fortune of being able to sleep here, but this house belongs to America.”
The new issue of Oprah Winfrey’s magazine has double the”O” factor – Michelle Obama joins the daytime diva on the cover of O in April, a joint venture that’s a first for the mag. LINK
Our First Lady is So Cool!
Just yesterday I was going on about how the First Daughters Malia and Sasha are too old to be swinging on a jungle gym set.
Well, the White House released a photo of the girls enjoying the jungle gym set along with the First Lady! Isn’t she the coolest?
Laura Bush would never do that.
We LOVE Malia’s stylish ugg boots. And it looks like they finally bought Sasha a new Winter coat. I felt so sorry for lil mama wearing the same coat every day, was going to go buy her a new one myself.
