We guess Michelle Obama really meant it when she said that she found Beyonce to be a "role model who kids everywhere can look up to" on her Twitter page!

Why, you ask?

Because

But only until marriage is legal for ALL!

The Abbey, a gay nightclub in West Hollywood, is a regular hotspot for bachelorette celebrations - mostly due to supa fine male dancers combined with copius amounts of alcohol!

But, owner David Cooley recently barred all pre-marriage female-centric parties due to marriage equality currently NOT being accepted in California.

Cooley states:

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!

Oh shiz!

Sounds like Kristen Stewart’s upcoming flick On The Road is ALREADY causing quite the stir amongst conservatives!

Her sexcapades on screen have really upset some critics, who think her role sets a horrible example for a younger Twilight audience.

One conservative critic, Dan Gainor said:

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!!

You feel that, environment??

That's the feeling you get when a huge city just straight up BANS the use of plastic bags!

L.A. loves you!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and an array of environmental groups pleaded with the City Council to vote with the environment in mind -- and it worked. They voted 13 to 1 to phase out plastic bags over the next 12 months at an estimated 7,500 stores!

For the city, that means you should be stockpiling those cloth-reusable bags: there will be a four-month environmental review of the bag ban, and then an ordinance putting it into effect. Larger stores are then given six months to stop using plastic bags and smaller stores/markets will be put on a 12-month phase-out period.

Plus, you don't want to have to pay for paper bags, do you? Because retailers would be required to charge 10 cents per bag starting one year after plastic bag ban starts.

In other words, you have about 2 years to build a nice little collection of world-conscious reusable bags before they make you pay!

Of course, we totally feel for those earning a living for their families in the plastic bag industry -- this can't be a very good sign.

Though, they do have some buffer to start looking for jobs if they think that they're in danger!

We think this is fab for the world, and should follow in the footsteps of San Jose, San Francisco, Long Beach, L.A., and dozens of other municipalities!

Add one more hottie big name to an already impressive cast!!

Minka Kelly just signed on to become Jackie Onassis in The Butler and we think she’s a FABULOUS choice to play history’s most beloved First Lady!!

Minka is always struck us as fashion forward but she’s going to need to bring back gloves, hats, and oversized glasses for this one!

We're predicting this movie might be one of 2013's best!
