Michelle Obama took her daughters to a Miley Cyrus concert at the Verizon Center last night, putting both election results and weekday bedtimes second to Sasha and Malia’s desire to “Party in the U.S.A.” with their peers. Continue reading »

Halloween at the Cyrus House: Totally Creepy

I’m well aware that the inappropriate sexualization of the Cyrus sisters is old news by now, but I just can’t stop being horrified by it.

Miley’s little sister Noah recently attended a fund-raising Halloween gala in a costume that would be scandalous for a thirty-year-old married woman. Noah is nine.

Also part of the deal is that Brown is not allowed to have any contact with Rihanna (no email, no texting) and must stay 50 feet away from her.

Speaking of over, Jon and Kate Gosselin’s marriage is kaputsky. Put a fork in it. It’s over, Johnny. (Video clip below, in case you don’t get that reference.) Continue reading »
