2 years ago
Randy and Evi Quaid are officially Canadian! The Quaids have been waiting for citizenship in the country since they fled the United States in 2010 over legal troubles and the fear that a group of Hollywood actor killers known as the “starwhackers” were out to kill them.
It was actually Evi Quaid who was given citizenship, which gives her husband the right to stay in the country and paves the way for him to become a Canadian citizen as well.
It’s still unclear what type of action will be taken against the Quaids who were found squatting in a home they once owned before fleeing the country

If the First Lady of the United States were asked to consolidate her Valentine’s Day advice in one word, Michelle Obama’s choice would be easy: Laugh.
She says it’s what she and President Barack Obama do, and it seems to work.
Through all the ups and downs and changes wrought by family, careers, relocation, campaigns and more, the Obamas’ marriage is going on 19 years.

2 years ago
(HMG Celebrity News) – Too bad, I thought they might make a great couple. But I have to believe Sandra Bullock on this one, who says newly single former “Proposal” co-star Ryan Reynolds, is a close friend, but not her lover. As we previously reported soon after Ryan and Scarlet Johansson announced they were bound for divorce, rumors of a possible romance between Reynolds and Bullock found fuel when the pair were seen dining together celebrating the New Year at Bess Bistro, the eatery in Austin, Texas which 46-year old Sandra bought back in 2006. Photos show them dining with three

Happy Birthday, Michelle Obama!

She may be the First Lady of the United States, but Michelle Obama, who turns 47 today, still says that first and foremost, she is Malia and Sasha’s mom.
That’s indicative of her humility, but she’s so much more than that.
On top of providing many fashion-forward Michelle Obama pictures, she’s spent two years supporting military families, helping working women balance career and family, encouraging national service and promoting the arts and education.
Recently, Michelle launched the Let’s Move! campaign, which – much to Sarah Palin’s chagrin – strives to bring together community leaders,
