Jimmy Fallon Graduates!
Posted on 10. May, 2009 by CSS.
Jimmy Fallon finally earned his Bachelor’s Degree this weekend — seventeen years after first giving it the old college try.
The host of NBC’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon began working towards his degree at the College of St. Rose in Albany, N.Y. in 1992. Jimmy started as a computer science major but later switched to communications. He left in 1995 one semester and fifteen credits short of completing school to head out to L.A. to pursue his career.
Three years later, he was back in New York with a starring role on Saturday Night Live.
Jimmy picked up his Bachelor of Arts Degree In Communication — and spoke at the College of St. Rose Class of 2009 commencement ceremony — at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center yesterday(May 9.)
Jimmy Fallon also did a guest spot on SNL last night with Justin Timberlake- at the end of the show when Justin is thanking everybody you can clearly see Jimmy proudly showing off his degree!
Congratulations Jimmy!

Hmmm…maybe going back to school at 30 hasn’t proved to be the exciting challenge James Franco was looking for. A sneaky classmate snapped this shot of the Milk actor catching his zzzzz’s during a lecture at Columbia University, where he is currently working toward a master’s degree in creative writing.
Boring professor, maybe? Or perhaps just overworked?
Students on Twitter also squealed that James has been spied sleeping in the library at New York University, where he is also taking classes.
In related news, James will release his first volume of short stories through a publishing deal with HarperCollins…..Let’s hope they don’t put us to sleep.

Sasha Obama & Malia Obama Will Be Attending The Sidwell Friends School.
Posted on 22. Nov, 2008 by CSS.
America’s new First Family has selected a den of knowledge for daughters Sasha and Malia Obama; and it looks like the girls will study at the same private school another famous First Daughter once attended.
Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, will attend Washington’s Sidwell Friends School, the upscale Quaker institution Chelesa Clinton attended when her dad ran the White House. Sidwell has between 1,000 and 1,100 students, The Washington Post reports.
“A number of great schools were considered,” the Obama’s rep said Friday. “In the end, the Obamas
selected the school that was the best fit for what their daughters need right now.”
