PICS: Michelle Obama plants first seeds of Spring in White House garden
First Lady Michelle Obama didn’t waste any time getting back to her garden after returning from her trip to London. How could you not love Michelle? What other First Lady wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty in the White House garden — especially when they have servants for that sort of thing?
Mrs. Obama invited students to help her plants herbs in the White House kitchen garden on the South lawn yesterday.

FBI, navy destroyer surround 4 Somali pirates holding American hostage
Imagine the scene out on the high seas off the coast of Somalia: 4 exhausted pirates holding one American hostage in a small lifeboat bobbing in the waves surrounded by the FBI, a navy destroyer with the capabilities of taking out a small country, American warships, and a gaggle of media boats.
You’re probably thinking this hostage situation will be over by lunchtime. But these Somali pirates are used to the long haul. The last hostage crisis ended two months and $3.2 million in cash later.
In what will likely end up being a skit on SNL, one of the 4 pirates asked a Reuter’s writer to “Please pray for us.”
Barack Obowma still hasn’t released a statement on the matter. I realize this goes against his bowing and scraping inclinations, but Obama needs to step up and make a statement because this international incident is not playing out very well in our favor.
Another urban TV show is about to be canceled
The cast of WB’s The Game need your help to keep the show from being canceled. According to a member of the CW boards, Tom Joyner announced the show is in jeopardy of being canceled due to lackluster ratings. I admit I’ve never seen the show, but then it isn’t being marketed to senior citizens.
So if you want to save the show, go here to voice your opinion. They need 1,000,000 posts by next week. Good luck with that.
Video: Dawn and Aundrea on MTB 4 without makeup
I can’t watch this show but I know my readers are faithful viewers even though the show is obviously scripted. Dawn, formerly of Danity Kane is shown without makeup. The beauty of Mother Earth is evident in her face. On the other hand… Aundrea… proves that not all women can simply wash their faces with soap & water, apply some moisturizer and go. For them, makeup is very essential.
Video: Monica and T-Boz on V-103
R&B Diva Monica is subbing all this week for the Ryan King of the Ryan Cameron Show (V-103). Mo’s in-studio guest yesterday was rap icon T-Boz of TLC. They discuss trifling women in Atlanta, and negative commentators on blogs. I love the fact that Mo isn’t afraid to leave the house without makeup on. Mo definitely has a future in radio.

Actress Sanaa Lathan was spotted out & about in Hollywood last night. Is it my imagination or does she look like she’s expecting? How did that blog that makes up stories about pregnant celebrities miss this one?

Kim Kardashian and her well-heeled friends, including PR Diva Tracy Nguyen on the right, were spotted having dinner at Cipriani’s after a productive day of shopping. Wouldn’t you LOVE to go shopping with Kim Kardashian — on her dime of course. By the way, Tracy has promised to take me shopping when she comes to Atlanta next week. I can’t wait!

Former Supermodel Iman was spotted out & about in the SoHo area of Manhattan yesterday wearing her Iman Global Chic bag. She looks incredible for a woman in her 60s.

The reason former Cheetah Girls singer has been going on shopping sprees so much lately is because she recently signed a solo deal with Def Jam Records. Let’s hope she got a big enough cash advance to eat for the next year since it’s doubtful she’ll sell any records.

Former WGST (Atlanta) talk radio host and current host of Fox News’ Sean Hannity Show wearing an autographed hat and stunna shades presented to him by legendary stock car driver Richard Petty, who was a guest on his show earlier this week. I had to throw this in for loyal reader Gail P. who LOVES him.
