Michelle Obama: Facebook is a No No for her Two Girls

After the controversy with her choice of fashion style, the first lady is up for a new issue regarding her statement regarding the use of social network site Facebook for her daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, 9.
During the interview with Matt Lauer on Today’s show, Michelle Obama said that her two lovely girls are forbidden to use or be part of Facebook because she is “not a fan of young kids having Facebook.”
“It’s not something they need. It’s not necessary right now,” she continued
If you can remember, the first lady was firm on her decision that she wears dresses of any kind (whether it be plus size clothes or a plain home clothes) that she is comfortable with and not merely looking if the clothes were designer made or not. And now, she was firm on her words of not allowing her girls to join the Facebook bandwagon.
Maybe the first lady was just being an overprotective mom and wants the life of her daughters to be private as much as possible. She don’t want any negative comment to view on so as not to hurt her girl’s emotions.
Her girls are growing adorably and maybe in a couple of years one of the girls will be wearing a prom dress. I guess that will be the time she will be allowed to sign up in Facebook!
Well, Mark Zuckerberg should made a good mail to send to the first lady’s inbox enumerating the good things that Facebook can offer to her kids because in one way or another this statement has a great impact on Facebook, right?

Cicely Tyson is BET’s Theatrical Arts Honoree

Because of her invaluable impact and contribution for the arts and in the movie industry as a whole, Cicely Tyson was named as BET’s Theatrical Arts Honoree for 2011.
This TV legend is one woman that lifted up the banner of black women through the years by being in the film industry, as she only considered playing roles that portrays good and positive characteristics of a black woman. She rather chooses not to have a job in years than to play “exploitation films”.
Cicely made this notable statement when asked why she committed to participate in films that depicts only the positive images of a black woman, “The lesser of two evils for me is to wait, rather than do something that isn't right." Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. They're what make the instrument stretch-what make you go beyond the norm." The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years."
This multitalented actress was born and raised in Harlem, New York by her religious parents. No wonder that aside from having a good taste on formal church wear for women, her strong willed characteristic and moral values are deeply rooted in her personality.
Her career starts as a model of Ebony Magazine before she hit the movie industry. One renowned movie she starred with is the true to life story movie “The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman (1974)”, in which she earned her 2 Emmys and at the same time made her the first African American Actress to win an Emmy award for Outstanding Lead Actress .
Her superb talent as an actress will surely be passed on to generations because of her The Cicely Tyson School of Performing and Fine Arts, a magnet school in East Orange, New Jersey which teach students on how to enhance more their talents and skills in acting and in the arts.
She is indeed an epitome of dignity, beauty and talent.

Oprah is 2010 Kennedy Center Honors Honoree

It wasn’t a surprise that Oprah was one among the five recipients of Kennedy Center Honors for 2010. For more than 25 years in the industry as a doyenne of daytime television, has established one of the most innovative careers in the entertainment world, and have created appositive impact on the American Culture. With this, she deserved or rather surpassed the qualifications for the Kennedy Center Honors.

Being a Kennedy Center Honors awardee, this honor will be added into her numerous recognition for years as an actress, producer, philanthropist, and the richest African American of the 20th century, and was the world’s only black billionaire.

But being the most influential woman in the world, during the event the media mogul was dressed in a plus size dress with plunging black top and A-line skirt only. Her attire had been the talk of the blogosphere, because the event calls for a black and tie dress code, and everybody was expecting that Oprah will be dressed in a designer plus size suit.
Although, Oprah’s style is still there, (the plunging neckline) spectators find that dress inappropriate for that significant event.

Well, that was indeed pretty simple compared to her appearances for the different awards and events that happened this season. See below:



Either of these Oprah look is ideal for the Kennedy Center Honors. She looked amazingly gorgeous either in dark or bright color dresses. Although she missed donning a floor sweeping gown to get her Kennedy Center Honors award, she proved that plunging neckline is really is her style.
