Just moments ago, Barack Obama was officially voted as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States of America at the Democratic National Convention.  After a few states officially gave their votes in their respective speechs, Sen. Hillary Clinton spoke over a cheerfully thunderous for NY and moved to suspend the roll call vote and officially name Sen.

Here's more pics of KiKi and Djimon at the Phat Fashions party at the MAGIC convention in Vegas: Their cuteness is growing on me.   And of course her nieces Vanessa and Angela were there too.  I'm sure they'll always be close regadless of Russey and Kimora's relationship.   And over in Colorado: Star Jones and Nelly hit up the Myspace concert saluting the Democratic National Convention. And Anne Marie-Johnson was spotted at the Convention.  Haven't see her in a while.   More pics of all these folks when you read the rest...  

YBF celebs are in Denver, Colorado getting their political fab on for the Democratic National Convention.

Michelle Obama gave her headlining and historic speech at last night's Democratic National Convention to show the personal side of her hubby Barack. And she rocked this turquoise blue ’50s-inspired dress designed by Maria Pinto--a friend and designer based in her hometown of Chicago. (The same designer who did her now famous purple sheath dress we all loved.) So...  

DO WE LOVE IT?

The Obamas were spotted on their Hawaii vacay this week having some family time together:   Barack and his girls hit the beach and the town for shaved ice, swimming, and golf. I'm sure Sasha and Malia were happy to spend some quality time with daddy. And I bet Michelle was too. Speaking of Michelle... This month's issue of Radar is focusing on the "scare factor" of Michelle Obama. According to the Huffington Post: The meticulously footnoted insider's guide, a semi-controversial FAQ penned by Ana Marie Cox, asks questions like, "Why does she hate whitey?" ("there is no public evidence of her ever using the word whitey"), "When was the precise moment she became proud of America?" ("Michelle Obama's pride in America is long-standing, diffuse, and organic"), and "Why is she so angry?" ("She's not angry; she is passionate"). Here we go...

Ciara is itching to expand her modeling portfolio now that she has signed on with Wilhelmina Modeling Agency.  She's telling folks that she not only can rock the Rocawear ads, but she's ready to expand into even more businesses.  And Victoria's Secret is already in the works.  Lisa Cambridge, a rep from Ciara's label, says: “It’s a perfect fit.  It plays with her personality and her coming of age. It’s tasteful, sexy and beautiful, just like her.”   Looks like she's about to get Pink happy in her draws.       And Michelle Obama is talking about how she maintains the romance through date nights with her hubby Barack in her latest interview with People: Another friend of yours told me about you and Barack slipping away for date nights on the campaign trail. Michelle: We were in this stadium and the staffers were like, 'You guys are going to have a date night.' They had set up a little room in the stadium with tablecloths and candles, and people came in and served, but we had, like, 10 minutes to eat. That was just squeezing it in, but it was fun, it was cute. You don't try to have a romantic [time] at the stadium. Our romantic [time] is almost every Saturday night or Friday night, if he's home. We spend the day with the girls doing girls' stuff and that's a family. Then we have date night, and the girls like it. As parents, you realize they do notice this stuff and it matters. You're worried about taking time away from the kids to be with each other when, in their minds, that's a good thing. It¹s like, 'Yeah, Mommy and Daddy, go! Go have dinner; it's so cute!' and that makes me feel like, 'Okay, I don't feel as bad that, after spending a day together, then we went and had a nice dinner while you had hamburgers with Grandma.'
