Michelle - you are wonderful but enough already....

I love Michelle, truly I do, but could we dial down the adoration just a little?

If she walks out in a pair of pants and sneakers people go ape. "Look Michelle wearing PANTS! And SNEAKERS! How stylish is that?"

I have seen her wearing ill fitting unflattering dresses and people have gushed. "Look at her! Isn’t she just the most stylish woman you have ever seen?"

Like calling Michael Jackson "the greatest performer in the history of the world" we seem to have all gotten a little carried away with Michelle. Yes, she's lovely, and yes, it's nice to see joi de vivre back in the White House and in American life, but we need to back off from Michelle and over stating her style.

Michelle Obama is a an attractive, nearing middle aged mom, with a utility body (and c'mon it's not that great – she’s pear shaped!), who loves showing off her best assets - her lovely arms - and sometimes turns out looking quite nice in clothes that are given to her. If we can just acknowledge that without trying to gild the lily, it would be so much better. She would probably feel a whole lot less pressure too.

Jackie Loves Bobby!!!!!!

Well well well. Last week we heard that Jackie Kennedy was hoofing around the town with Marlon Brando. Today we hear was MADLY DEEPLY in love with Bobby Kennedy.

Now now now. I think everyone is in a twitter because Jackie was considered the Ice Queen, the Princess of Camelot who was forever in mourning. Never mind that she married Aristotle Onassis. The American public always thought that she belonged to them and they could dictate an image that suited them.

But many books in the past have pointed out that Jackie was indeed very lonely after Jack's death and several years after his passing, she enjoyed several lovely little affairs, purely for pleasure.

Given what she put up with Jack and his insensitivity, who can blame her.
In a new book on Jackie, Franklin Roosevelt Jr is quoted as saying of the alleged Bobby and Jackie affair -

"Everybody knew about the affair. The two of them carried on like a pair of lovesick teenagers. I suspect Bobby would've liked to dump Ethel and marry Jackie, but, of course, that wasn't possible."

Speculation about Jackie and her love life is not going to go away any time soon.

Madonna the Mad Hatter

Doesn't Johnny Depp* look just like Madonna?

*as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Brand Moss

Kate Moss and Simon Cowell? Nope they are not a couple, just partners in plotting a reality TV show.

Sir Philip Green - the billionaire owner of Top Shop, who Kate calls Uncle Philip - wants to expand his TV empire worldwide. And why wouldn't he want Kate included in his expansion plans?

Kate is 35 now so her catwalk days are allegedly numbered, though I think she could go on and on and on. But Cowell is allegedly talking billion dollar deals with her so she may be tempted.

I'm a sucker for all those model shows, so maybe Kate could do a model reality show a la America's Next Top Model? Mind you, I have heard her in interviews over the years, and she is no nuclear physicist. Still, she will have people watching, so it's a another wise move from Simon Cowell.

Why was Kate Moss censored?

A rather elegant Kate Moss photograph on the cover of a magazine called Monster Children is causing problems. Not just problems, but CENSORSHIP.

News stands and news agents are refusing to stock the magazine because of Kate's (gasp!) nipple! (I think smoking is more damaging than seeing a nipple, but then I don't think the cover is offensive at all).

Eventually, the distributor of the magazine joined the fray and refused to distribute the magazine.

This is not Hustler magazine, this is not offensive.

Why are people so upset about this lovely photo of Kate Moss?
