Alicia Keys plays Michelle Obama


...and she does a much better job than Tyra!

As part of Glamour magazine's "American Icons" feature, the 28 year-old singer portrays First Lady, Michelle Obama.

Dressed in a blue dress, with two young girls, and of course, a puppy by her side, Alicia Keys embodies the First Lady's best traits, looking poised, elegant, and chic.

“She has worked hard for everything she’s accomplished, and done so with grace and humility. So many women and girls can identify with her story,” Keys told the magazine.

Other female celebrities taking part in this feature include Hayden Panettiere as Amelia Earhart, Emma Roberts as Audrey Hepburn, and Canadian actress Elisha Cuthbert as Brandi Chastain. Lindsay Lohan is also photographed as Madonna and America Ferrera as Dolores Huerta.

Obama's version of "Single Ladies"

This actually made me laugh out loud!

Ever since watching the SNL parody of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" music video, I have been obsessed with any other version that has popped up on the internet (for example, this little girl, and of course, Shane Mercado on the Bonnie Hunt Show).

Of course, this would have been funnier if it was actually Mr. President himself, but it's nonetheless pretty awesome!

Enjoy!

Catching Up: Michelle Obama for Vogue, Armani vs. D&G, and more Kelly Rutherford divorce drama


It's confirmed! The First Lady, Michelle Obama, will be on the cover of the March issue of Vogue [Fashionista].

Designer Giorgio Armani is accusing Dolce&Gabbana for copying one of his designs [The Guardian].

The Kelly Rutherford divorce is getting ugly! The GG actress and her estranged husband have been forced to testify in court regarding issues around their son [People.com].

White House Fashion


The thing on everyone's mind is the dress Michelle Obama wore last night at the inauguration ball.

The one-shouldered white ball gown was designed by Jason Wu, a 26-year-old Taiwanese-American whose first collection debuted less than three years ago.

Along with designing, he is the creative director of Integrity Toys, a luxury doll company that makes over-priced dolls wearing runway-inspired clothing. Wu has been with this company since he was seventeen.

What did you think of Michelle Obama's dress?
