Michelle Obama Sneakers: First Lady Wears $540 Lanvin Shoes To Food Bank
Posted on 05. May, 2009 by CSS.
There’s a “shoe-gate” situation brewing at The White House.
As the nation faces the worst economic recession in a generation, several outlets are raising debate about the $540 sneakers worn by First Lady Michelle Obama while volunteering at a Washington D.C.-area food bank for the homeless last Wednesday.
Obama wore the pink and grey shoes as she volunteered with Congressional spouses to assemble bags of food to feed 1,000 students participating in the Food for Kids program, at the Capital Area Food Bank.
Check out what The Chicago Sun-Times had to say about Mrs. O’s get-up:
First Lady Michelle Obama is catching some flak for sporting pricey sneakers while volunteering at a food bank here with congressional spouses. The footwear has been identified by sharp eyed fashion mavens as made by the French design house Lanvin and costing more than $500. The congressional spouse bagging groceries with the First Lady is a fellow Illinoisan—Bob Creamer, the husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.).
What do you think of the First Lady wearing these expensive shoes while doing charity work? Ok? Not Ok?
I can see how some people would try to get upset over this issue- but I have to say atleast Michelle is out there doing charity work while I guarantee you the person who wrote the article for The Chicago Sun-Times probably hasn’t lifted a finger!

Mischa Barton "Assassination Of A High School President" Movie Shelved
Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Mischa Barton most recent film project, Assassination of a High School President, will not be released.
Although Asassination was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, the dark comedy failed to secure a distribution deal that would have sent it into wide release.
“It seems the whole of the film industry has a problem with money at the moment and we’ve been affected by it,” the disappointed former OC star confessed to reporters at an H&M-hosted party in London last week.
But it’s not all bad news for Mischa’s, the British-born star will debut as a fashion model on the Ashton Kutcher-produced drama A Beautiful Life, premiering on The CW this fall.

Miley Cyrus Can't Spare Any Change For The Homeless
Posted on 27. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Teenage millionaire Miley Cyrus has stunned fans by refusing to spare a few coins for a homeless panhandler.
Miley was confronted by a beggar as she headed to London’s Nobu restaurant after the UK premiere of her Hannah Montana: The Movie this week, according to one British tabloid report.
“….She refused to lighten its load by parting with cash for the poor chap outside, who politely asked for some change,” Britain’s Star writes. “She made the schoolgirl error of missing the charitable photo opportunity that a gaggle of stars have taken advantage of with the infamous beggar.”
The unleashing of Miley’s inner mean girl has left a sour taste in the mouth of the 16-year-old legion of young fans.
One admirer wrote on her unofficial fansite Mileyfans.net: “That was so nasty. Why’d she do that? She just ignored him.”
“It was a real eye-opener to see her treating that poor homeless man so badly,” another Miley fanatic said.

“I worked with my only half brother for several years,” Cook said. “Woke up one day and a lot of stuff was missing. There is a good chunk of money that is certainly not accounted for. That’s all I can say about it at this point.”
Darryl has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail awaiting trial.

Jim Carrey Gives Girlfriend Jenny McCarthy $50 Million Trust.
Posted on 02. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
In Hollywood, it seems like the biggest, nastiest fights are over money. Many Celebs go to great lengths to hold on to their slice of the pie at all costs. But not Jim Carrey.
In December 2005, Carrey met Jenny McCarthy, Playboy bunny-turned-autism activist. They’ve been together ever since. McCarthy has given numerous interviews about how Carrey is wonderful with her autistic son, and both Carrey and McCarthy have been very open about their relationship, even appearing together on Oprah. They’ve also talked about how they don’t have any plans to marry, but it’s always seemed like Carrey wouldn’t be opposed to it. Now, there’s further proof that this relationship is in for the long haul. Carrey has made a $50 million trust for McCarthy and her son.
Jim Carey has vowed to give his longtime girlfriend Jenny McCarthy a financially secure future – after reportedly setting up a $50 million (GBP35 million) trust fund for the actress despite insisting they will never marry.
The actor, 46, has earned an estimated $200 million (GBP140 million) with his blockbuster comedies – and is desperate to make sure 36-year-old McCarthy is set for life.
A source tells Star magazine, “He adores her and credits her with his better health and happier outlook on life. (He) wants her to have all the perks in life should anything happen to him.”

I think thats pretty awesome- to make that kind of gesture with no obligation-makes you think that all the good things you hear about Jenny are true… just one question- How did this story get leaked to the press?
