Well it's about time!

Did you know Killing them Softly got a ten-minute standing ovation at Cannes!?!

Sounds like Brad Pitt could finally touch that sexy gold man at The Academy Awards!! Rubbing Angelina Jolie's has to get old… Ha!

Being one of the actors who probably should have won one by now (Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio), Brad KILLED in this new film (figuratively and literally).

But his performance isn't the only thing receiving that honey bee buzz! Apparently they used Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech. And some people are thinking it's a stab against Prez O, but Brad explains:

Well well well, it seems like Barack Obama had a bit of fun in High School!

Apparently Obama was part of something called the "Choom Gang," which was just a group of boys that loved basketball and good times.

Also, Choom is a verb that means 'to smoke marijuana.'

Here's a little excerpt from a new book about it:

As a member of the Choom Gang, Barry Obama was known for starting a few pot-smoking trends. The first was called "TA," short for "total absorption." To place this in the physical and political context of another young man who would grow up to be president, TA was the antithesis of Bill Clinton's claim that as a Rhodes scholar at Oxford he smoked dope but never inhaled.

Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of "roof hits": when they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.

Barry also had a knack for interceptions. When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted "Intercepted!," and took an extra hit. No one seemed to mind.

No one seemed to mind because people who smoke pot are the most laid back people ever! HA!

We honestly don't think this is going to be effecting Obama at all, and at least it isn't a story about horrible bullying like in Mitt Romney's case.

Though, we're not sure how you can go through experiences like that and NOT try and legalize it later in life!

LOLz!

Absolutely beautiful!

With the LOVELY voice of Glee star Jane Lynch, this moving video chronicles President Obama's accomplishments in his fight for LGBT rights.

Way before he led the way to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell, Obama believed in the LGBT community, and now he continues to fulfill his promise to fight for us.

His declaration of support for same-sex marriage was astounding, and we really believe he has what it takes to continue moving forward in the struggle to obtain equal rights for ALL!

Watch his touching video (above) and pass it along!!

First it was Joe Biden, then it was Barack Obama, but the government's support for same-sex marriage just keeps pouring out.

Now former Secretary of State Colin Powell has revealed on live television that he has "no problem with it."

When asked about the hot topic on CNN, Powell responded:

YES! YES! YES!

Tracy Morgan thinks President Obama needs a tear drop tattoo! He eloquently explained to Conan: "You kill four dictators, you bang'n!"

Totally agree!

A tat like that would have other countries think twice before messing with 'Merica! LOLZ!

Ch-Ch-Check out the interview (above) to hear why Tracy thinks Obama should get "Michelle" tattooed on his neck!

Americans are frustrated that Barack Obama has yet to make major improvements to our weak economy, but the country isn't convinced that Mitt Romney will be able to do any better.

A new poll has determined that the two presidential candidates are

This is just SUPER!!

DC Comics — you know, the guys and gals who publish Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman — just announced that one of their characters will "come out" as gay in an upcoming issue.

The company is keeping the whens and whoms close to the chest but they have announced a major, pre-existing character will be re-written as gay.

While it’s not uncommon for long-standing characters to change their age, race, or even gender in between issues, the flip-flopping of sexual orientation will be a first for DC.

We applaud them, but why now??
