Barack Obama will be sworn in as America’s forty-fourth president on Jan. 20, but ever since he began running for office, he’s been seen differently than other presidents and candidates. What’s so different about Obama? Well, he’s marketable. During the campaign, there were artsy Obama posters, T-shirts, and buttons. That was nothing. Now, there are more Obama-related products than we can handle. Keep reading »
The list of celebrities scheduled to perform at Barack Obama’s inauguration was just released, and it’s a far cry from who was onstage in 2005 (i.e., Kelsey Grammar, Hillary Duff, Gloria Estefan, and “American Idol” winner Ruben Studdard). After the jump, the list of celebs singing or reading at “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration At The Lincoln Memorial,” which will air on HBO at 7pm on Jan. 20 in case fighting crowds isn’t your thing.

A few savvy businesses are trying to make the most of President Bush’s last days in office. Boom Boom Beauty Bar in New York City is offering a “Say Goodbye to Bush” special, with 40 percent off bikini waxing until inauguration day, and at least two other NYC spas are offering similar inauguration-week bikini waxing deals.

Well, I will tell you who is not: Ms. magazine.” Feminist Law Professors say the image is a mockery: “[Is Ms.] symbolically looking to a male superhero to ‘rescue’ feminism? Very problematic imagery, in my view.” So, what do you think? Is Superobama the first feminist President, or is the idea of a guy feminist a joke? Keep reading »

Americans living in London don’t have to miss out on Inauguration Day Obama-mania. The Madame Tussauds wax museum across the pond is offering Americans the chance to see the new president, albeit the wax version, for free on Jan. 20. Obama’s wax figure is still getting the finishing touches put on it, but he will most definitely be ready in time for the big day. [AP] Keep reading »
