MLK Memorial Event Co-Chaired By Tommy Hilfiger Postponed

This is disappointing.

Due to Hurricane Irene hitting the east coast, the organizers behind the Washington DC Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial have called off the special gala on Saturday evening and the Sunday dedication ceremony, co-chaired by the Tommy Hilfiger Corporate Foundation.

The event was expected to attract almost 250,000 and was going to be attended by celebrities and politicians like President Barack Obama.

Sunday marks the 48th anniversary of the March in Washington and MLK’s I Have A Dream speech.

A rep for the organization revealed:

“In consultation with the National Park Service, the mayor’s office and FEMA, it is with a heavy heart and enormous disappointment that we announce that, in the interest of public safety, we are forced to change our plans.”

As for The Hilfiger Foundation, they've been a key sponsor of the project for over a decade, even donating over $6.25 million and helping raise an extra $2 mil for the memorial.

Hilfiger was also going to donate to the audience over 100,000 custom baseball caps which feature artwork inspired by the memorial and were going to dress about 1,500 volunteers in custom made polos displaying the Memorial logo.

The ceremony will be moved to a later date in September or October.

Newsweek Doesn't Hide Their Feelings On Michele Bachmann

Filed Under: Politik Spread 'Em

Newsweek Michele Bachmann

Conservatives are firing back at Newsweek for publishing this photo of Michele Bachmann.

They claim the magazine is trying to push their bias by using a horrible picture.

Well, let's be real.

She looks like a loon on this cover.

No question about it.

But here's the real Q: We all take bad pictures, true, but can you honestly say she doesn't have a little crazy in her after you look at this one?

Maybe Newsweek was trying to prove their stance, maybe not. But one thing's for sure. They definitely proved a point, and the conservatives are the ones who brought it to the attention of the rest of us.

Filed Under: Politik Michelle Obama Narciso Rodriguez

Michelle Obama paid a visit with Nelson Mandela's wife Graca Machel to the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg, South Africa, earlier today.

And for the special occasion, MObama wore a gorgeous coral Narciso Rodriguez silk shantung jacket and skirt.

We’re also loving her floral top.

Overall, a win for Mrs. Obama for looking both professional and stylish.
