SHARK EATS OTHER SHARK...VIDEO
Wow and I just saw this last night while watching the masterpiece that is "Deep Blue Sea." Remind me to stay OUT of the water in Australia.
MICHELLE OBAMA IN GLAMOUR MAGAZINE
Be sure to check out our First Lady, Michelle Obama, on the cover of December's Glamour Magazine featuring Women of the Year. Below are a few excerpts from her interview as well as a picture of Mrs. Obama and her White House staff.
Here are six lessons that Mrs. Obama discussed:
Mentoring matters, especially for young women: “I think that mentoring is such a critical part of the role I can play in this position. I see how little bits of exposure and big bits of exposure really change my girls significantly, and I want that for more girls around the country and the world.”
The real role models aren’t movie stars--they’re the people you know: “They were the people in my life. My mom, for sure. My dad. The teachers. For me, role-modeling was immediate, it was touchable...Children connect with who is in their lives, present and accounted for...That’s why we’re trying to encourage moms, teachers, fathers, to be that presence in their children’s lives, in their communities, because it really makes a difference.”
Don’t wait to be “discovered” by a mentor: “I was blessed throughout my entire career. I had people rooting for me. It started with my parents, but it extended to almost every teacher that I had. When I was a young lawyer, there were other women and men in the firm who took me under their wing. Look for those mentors, because sometimes mentors don’t find you--sometimes you seek them out. Oftentimes, they’re flattered and glad to lend a hand.”
Don’t put yourself last in line: In answer to a reader question about how she keeps her sanity, the First Lady told Katie, “I have always tried to put my kids first, and then...put myself a really close second, as opposed to fifth or seventh. One thing that I’ve learned from male role models is that they don’t hesitate to invest in themselves.”
When it comes to looks and style, set your own standards: “People are always going to have opinions, and people have a right to their opinions, particularly when you’re the First Lady; you’re representing the nation. So I can’t be surprised that people are interested. But I’ve tried to be at peace with the choices that I make first, and then be open to everyone else’s reflection.”
With men, don’t be swayed by “cute”: “Cute’s good. But cute only lasts for so long, and then it’s, Who are you as a person? Don’t look at the bankbook or the title. Look at the heart. Look at the soul...When you’re dating a man, you should always feel good...You shouldn’t be in a relationship with somebody who doesn’t make you completely happy and make you feel whole.”

NBC DEVELOPS KENYA BARRIS COMEDY "ORDINARY"
Writer/Producer Kenya Barris ("Girlfriends", "America's Next Top Model") is developing a tv show for NBC entitled "Ordinary." The show is described as "Mad About You" meets "The Cosby Show," and is part of NBC's laughable effort to develop an African-American comedy series.
After spending most of his time on the road as a Rolling Stone music reporter, Kevin is promoted to columnist and works from home, a change that requires adjustment for everyone in the family.
Barris, is repped by WME and Principato Young, and is executive producing with Scott Stuber.

PRESIDENT OBAMA SALSA DANCES...MRS. OBAMA GIVES HIM THE COLD SHOULDER (VIDEO)
This is absolutely hillarious! Check out the video at 3:09 when Latin singer "Thalia" asks President Obama to dance. He tries to Salsa and then goes back to sit down where Michelle Obama gives him the cold shoulder around 3:53. I guess Mrs. Obama was probably humming "you must not know bout me...you must not know bout me"...lol.
