Michelle Obama gets jealous

NEWS: PRESIDENT OBAMA AWARDED THE ‘09 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE


Friday, October 9, 2009

President Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize today. The first African-American to win the White House, Obama was praised by the Norweigan Nobel Committee for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” The announcement came as a surprise — Obama’s name had not been mentioned among front-runners — and reporters in the room gasped when he was named.



Here is what was said about The President at the announcement event:



“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”

New A-Team Movie

Chuch Liddell paired with Anna Trebunskaya for Dancing with the Stars

The former UFC lightheavyweight champ is going to a member of the upcoming cast of "Dancing with the Stars". The ABC show is going into its ninth season, and Liddell is on a cast with a menagerie of C-list stars like Melissa Joan Hart, who was once "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch," and Donny Osmond, the singing-dancing-acting "star" who is currently performing with his sister, Marie, in Las Vegas. Sure, there are tons of jokes going around about this, but I think that the most important question is: Can "The Iceman" finally make it out of the first round? At this point in time dancing is probably a better option than fighting. I am not even convinced that if he were to fight again he would not have problems defeating his DWTS competitor, former pop-star, Aaron Carter. You can watch Chuck make a fool of himself starting Monday September 21, @ 8:00 p.m. eastern.

Jordan "Hall of Fame" Pack

September 5, 2009 should be a big day for all of the true Michael Jordan fans out there. As we all know #23 took his rightful place in the NBA Hall of Fame this year. To commemorate this event, Brand Jordan designers have came up with a few different designs of some signature sneakers. The first is the Air Jordan Retro 1, which will retail for $125.00. This sneaker hosts a black leather upper accented by red inner lining, a black patent leather swoosh, white and grey numbers which are meant to represent various moments from Jordan’s career, a white out-sole, and a black patent leather heel. Overall, this pair yields a clean and fresh new variation of a classic model. The second style is the Air Jordan 2009, which will retail for $200.00. This pair hosts a black patent leather toe box and side panel, whereas the out-sole is white, inner lining is red, and the mid-panel features various numbers which are meant to represent various moments from Jordan's career. The final style is the Air Jordan 6 Rings, which will retail for $175.00. This shoe features a black patent leather and canvas base accented by white stitching, a grey outsole, red hits on the heel and inner lining, and a multicolored logo on the tongue. Though the colors are fresh, the most defining aspects of this sneaker are definitely the various numbers seen on the mid-sole which represent various moments in Jordan's career. Make sure to check out your local Deveroes store on September 5 to pick up your pair or pairs.
