Beyonce Lip-Synched at the Inauguration: Fakin’ It Like Lance Armstrong
3 months ago
Now as word of Beyonce’s lip syncing the anthem to pre-recorded music has spread like wildfire, does her performance at President Obama’s inauguration feel like a big let down– her performance a little less authentic?
Everyone knows Beyonce has the pipes and the moves to pull off singing at such a major event. But why the backlash? Perhaps the recent admission to fraud and doping by Lance Armstrong has the public reeling from all the lies and the faker. And now the inaugural possibly tainted by a lip sync performance which seems to counter the ideals of what a Presidential inauguration

President Obama Sworn In for Second Term
3 months ago
It’s official: we have four more years of Barack Obama as Commander-in-Chief.
The President was sworn in for the second time today, as Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the oath of office in the White House Blue Room a little before noon.
It will take place again in public tomorrow on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Following the mishap in 2009, when Roberts misplaced the word “faithfully,” the judge read the oath this time around from a piece of paper.
And all went smoothly, at least according to Sasha Obama, who reportedly turned to her father soon after his promise to

No more Mr. Nice Jay?
On last night’s edition of The Tonight Show, the host went especially hard after President Barack Obama on two issues:
His handling of the mess in Libya, where four Americans were killed and emails showed the White House was made aware of details it failed to quickly make public.
“Well, ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ is back,” Leno cracked. “Not for gays in the military. It’s President Obama’s new policy for questions about Libya. Don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Osama bin Laden Death Photo to Be Released?
2 years ago
With conspiracy theories swirling, President Obama has decided to release at least one photo of a dead Osama bin Laden, according to The Drudge Report.
No word on when the White House plans to release the first image. However, a senior U.S. official tells CNN that there were three sets of pictures taken:
- Photos of the raid where Osama bin Laden was killed.
- Photos of bin Laden’s body taken after the raid.
- Photos of the late terrorist’s burial at sea.
Why not show proof you can that Osama bin Laden is really dead? Because the photo that most clearly shows his face is also the most

Things got awfully heated on Good Morning America yesterday as Donald Trump discussed his potential presidential run with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
In short, George took him to task and the Donald didn’t appreciate it.
Stephanopoulos mentioned that some Republican heavyweights call him a “flawed messenger for the party” and “a joke candidate.” Why do they think this?
By continuing to question President Obama’s birth certificate and citizenship. Trump replied by … going off about Obama’s citizenship. You gotta see this:

Over the weekend, though, Palin defended real estate mogul Donald Trump’s recent attempts to raise doubts about Obama’s citizenship, saying:
“I appreciate that the Donald wants to spend his resources on something that so interests him and so many Americans, you know more power to him.”

John Legend not a fan of Donald Trump.
It’s not The Donald’s reality show or supposed ambitions to run for president in 2012 that have the Grammy-winning pianist pissed, either, but Trump’s recent comments in which he persistently questioned President Obama’s nationality.
“He needs to stop saying that racist bulls**t birther s**t,” Legend told N.Y. Magazine. “Quote me please. He should be ashamed of himself. It’s awful, really.”
Tell us how you really feel … both of you guys.

Donald Trump Wants to See Barack Obama’s Birth Certificate, Whoopi Goldberg Calls Him a Moron

We knew he loved fame, money, himself, and bloviating about everything under the sun. But who knew Donald Trump was a complete buffoon?
Swaggering onto The View today to promote The Celebrity Apprentice, Trump, who’s pondering a White House run, also brought up a political issue.
One that landed him in hot water with Whoopi Goldberg.
Of President Obama, who he thinks he can beat, Trump asks: “Why doesn’t he show his birth certificate? I want him to show his birth certificate!”
“There’s something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like,” said Trump, defying

2 years ago
[HMG Celebrity News] – Since first sharing his rather singular view of the world on CNN in 2006, Glenn Beck has become one of the most polarizing figures on television. He switched to Fox News in 2008, but his future is now at a crossroads.
In September 2009, 47-year old Beck’s nightly sermons of forthcoming doom drew the highest ratings of any Fox pundit – beating his rivals on CNN, MSNBC and CNN-HLN combined. But those days are over. His audience is now thinning – rapidly – and reports say Glenn will quit Fox in December when his contract runs out.
But what then?
At present he hosts a
