The First Lady Takes on Desmond Tutu in Push-Up Contest

Earlier this week Michelle Obama was scheduled to visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela had been imprisoned. Unfortunately due to weather conditions the first lady was unable to make the trip. Instead Obama decided to pay a visit to the iconic Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

 

Obama and Tutu had a discussion with South African youth about protecting themselves from HIV/AIDS and how to use exercise as a way to keep healthy. What better way to prove your point than by having a push up contest? Obviously there is no better way. The crowd of young people were heard cheering Michelle Obama on by chanting her husband’s famous election slogan, “Yes you can!”

Hugh Hefner Lets Crystal Harris Keep 3-Carat Engagement Ring

Showing quite a bit of class, Hugh Hefner refused to take back the engagement ring he gave ex-fiancé Crystal Harris. Last week, the 'Playboy' centerfold broke up with him just five days before their wedding.
RadarOnline.com reports that Harris returned to the Playboy Mansion on Sunday night to return the ring but the 'Playboy' founder told her to keep the 3-carat, $90,000 ring. And if that wasn't enough, Hefner also let his runaway bride keep the Bentley he'd given her. He did take back their King Charles dog, Charlie.


"It was the right thing to do," Harris told RadarOnline about her decision to return the ring.

But don't get worried about the stilted groom--Hefner didn't wallow too long before finding a rebound girl: Miss January 2011 Anna Sophia Berglund.

On Twitter early Monday, Hefner told fans that getting left so close to the altar was actually a good thing. "After all is said and done, staying single is probably the best. I think I just missed a bullet."

Halle Berry and Nalah Out and About

Halle Berry and her adorable three-year-old, Nalah, were spotted going out for a pizza lunch in Beverly Hills on Thursday. A smiling Halle holds her daughters hand as they head over to Vito’s Pizzeria.
After a bitter custody battle with ex, Gabriel Aubry, it’s refreshing to see Halle Berry smiling once again. 

The couple separated in April of last year which caused a very bitter, and very public, feud between the two. In the fight for custody of Nalah both parents accused the other of being unfit to care for the child. During the extensive battle, representatives of Berry told People magazine that she felt that leaving her child with Aubry for an extended period of time was dangerous and that she would do anything she could to protect her. In the end the two settled on a 50/50 custody agreement.
 

Since then Berry has been seen out and about looking happier and making the most of her new role as a single mom. Halle Berry has been quoted saying, "I want love, and I will find it, hopefully."

RiRi Shows More than a Little Skin for Canadian Tour

    

Rihanna looks sexy in a vibrant multi- coloured bikini while preforming across Canada for her LOUD tour. It seems like Rhianna’s wardrobe motto for this tour was, “go big or go home.”  The “What’s My Name” singer rocked the stage in over the top outfits. She tweeted about it by saying, “Rockin the red @rihanna look :) concert in Ottawa tonight what up!”

        

So far Rihanna has hit the stage in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary, Saskatoon, and Edmonton. Her next performance will be (June 24th) in Vancouver. Tonight’s show will make the end of her Canadian tour dates. The Loud tour will continue in the States and then RihRih heads over to Europe. Hopefully this last show will give Vancouver residents something to talk about other than their recent play-off fumble. Sorry Canucks fans, I went there.

Reggie Bush's New GF - The Intercontinental Hook-Up

Bush's new chick is actress and singer Melissa Molinaro -- who was famously compared to Kim K for the way she looked in an Old Navy commercial earlier this year. 

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the two met roughly two years ago through mutual friends ... but stayed platonic because they were both seeing other people at the time. 


We're told the pair reconnected last summer -- after Reggie and the "real" Kim parted ways -- and became "official" by Christmas. 

Things have been heating up fast -- the two have been spotted at the movies, at church ... and Reggie even hopped a flight to London earlier this month to watch Melissa perform at a London nightclub.

Dedication.

Nicki Minaj Says: "Happy to Have a Drug and Alcohol Free Tour with Britney Spears"

Nicki Minaj is opening for Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale world tour, and Minaj is happy the experience will be completely substance-free "as it should be," she tells Life & Style.

"I think it's a great thing. If that's the way Britney wants it, so be it. She's the queen of her castle. It trickles down and makes everyone responsible."

Minaj says touring with Britney will be life changing.

"We start on June 17, and I'm sure it's going to be a whirlwind. I'm sure it's going to change the way I view touring. Every tour I do is different, and I get new energy."

Britney has been in the press as of late because her ex-manager Sam Lutfi is filing a motion to get her a court-mandated psychiatric evaluation.

Lutfi argues that Spears is mentally capable to testify in his lawsuit against her mother, Lynne, for allegedly defaming him in her memoir, Through the Storm. Lynne and Britney's father, Jamie, say their daughter is too mentally unstable to testify. Lutfi says that if Britney can go on tour, she can testify in court.

Minaj recently completed a tour with Lil Wayne.

Kendra Visits Hef At The Playboy Mansion

Kendra Wilkinson is ready to give ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner a shoulder to cry on following his very public split with ex fiancée Crystal Harris.

The reality show star was seen driving her white SUV through the big gates of the Playboy Mansion. What a good friend!

Wilkinson, 26, recently told UsWeekly:

"Obviously I feel really bad for him and the situation. But I'm also happy. She was going to get ready in my old room, you know the room that I got ready in for my wedding. So I'm happy that she left it alone."

Kendra and her NFL star hubby Hank Baskett tied the knot at the Playboy Mansion back in 2009.
