Usher Parties With President Obama
What I would give to have been a fly on the wall or better yet be at the 2013 Presidential Inauguration. Page Six is reporting that President Obama led a conga line, took part in a “Gangnam Style” dance-off with Usher, and even did the electric slide at his celebrity-packed inauguration bash at the White House:
The President and first lady danced past 3 a.m. at the spectacular private bash in the East Room for their closest friends and supporters.
One guest told us, “The president and Usher had a dance-off to ‘Gangnam Style’ along with Janelle Monáe. The president was a good dancer, but Usher threw down some amazing Michael Jackson-style moves.

In a letter obtained by the website, which was submitted to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by NY attorney James H. Freeman — in which he asks for permission to sue Idol and FOX on behalf of his clients … who have all appeared on the show: FYI, Freeman is required to file with the EEOC before filing suit.
The show’s background check includes the question “Have you ever been arrested,” which Freeman claims violates California employment law, since the contestants are essentially applying for “employment” with “American Idol.” The information obtained via that question, along with arrest records that “Idol” obtains via private investigators, are then used to humiliate the black contestants on TV and perpetuate negative stereotypes of black people, alleges Freeman.
Freeman also claims the show has never once publicly disqualified a white or non-black contestant.
What say you? Do you believe the former contestants have a leg to stand on with this lawsuit?

Cissy Houston on Bobbi Kristina: “I Worry About Her”
As the one year anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death approaches, Cissy Houston is concerned about how her granddaughter Bobbi Kristina is coping with her mother’s death.
Cissy revealed her worries for Bobbi Kristina in detail in her new book “Remembering Whitney” to People magazine
“She’s not handling it good,” Cissy wrote.
“None of us are. Of course I worry about her. Bobbi Kristina is 19 and if you know anything about a 19-year-old, they think they know it all. It doesn’t mean that she is going to follow her [mother’s] same path. She could but anybody could. I don’t want to jinx her. I’m trying to make sure she doesn’t.”
