National Enquirer Alleges An Obama Sex Scandal

The National Enquirer is saying that President Barack Obama was allegedly caught cheating on his wife Michelle in 2004 with a campaign aide, Vera Baker. The gossip rag says Obama became close to Baker while working on his 2004 campaign for the Illinois Senate and the pair were caught in a Washington, D.C. hotel. The Enquirer claims “anti-Obama operatives” are offering $1 million to anyone with details about the affair and a limo driver who allegedly dropped Baker off at a hotel to meet Obama for a “secret rendezvous” is willing to talk. (FYI, the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper alleged Obama had an affair with Baker back in 2008.)

Uh huh. Right. Total bulls**t. The Enquirer was right about sleazy John Edwards, but I sincerely believe the Obamas have a strong marriage. People will say anything if they’re offered a million bucks. It was only a matter of time before some gossip rag printed lies like this. [National Enquirer, Gawker] Keep reading »

Anna Wintour Is One Fashionable Politician

Anna Wintour had a very special birthday yesterday. Not only did the Vogue editor turn 60 years old but President Obama hired her for a job! Don’t worry, Anna’s not leaving her masthead position any time soon, but she does have a new title to add to her resume. She’ll join fellow fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker on the President’s Committee for the Arts and Humanities. The job task ahead of her is all about giving Obama advice on how to bring the arts into society. We think she can handle that one. She’s already made a huge statement with Fashion’s Night Out, which was so popular that a sequel date set has been set. We certainly look forward to Anna’s projects as a part of the government, because if FNO was any indication, there could be a fashion national holiday in our future. Hey, getting a day off work to go shopping doesn’t sound so bad. [WWD] Keep reading »

Jeans Are The New Power Suit

President Obama gave fashion critics something to talk about when he displayed a pair of “mom jeans” at a baseball game, Nicolas Sarkozy and his lovely wife Carla both donned denim for a recent trip to Egypt, and the Russian President, Dmitry Medvedev, chose jeans for a dinner date with Obama. Steve Jobs kept his fashion taste simple through the years — a black turtleneck and a pair of Levi’s 501s.

Suddenly, jeans are the new power look. Keep reading »
