HBO recently closed a seven-figure deal for U.S. rights to an untitled Barack Obama documentary which will include exclusive filming footage of President’s electoral campaign: Norton’s Class 5 Films approached the Obama campaign in early 2006 about a documentary chronicling the new president elect’s history in politics.

Diddy might have celebrated his Birthday and Obama’s Presidential win on November 4th but that didn’t stop him from doing what he does so well… Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ birthday at Mansion was a nightmare for a young designer who decorated the Chelsea hot spot. “He was given a budget of $7,000 and 12 hours to create an all-white décor, including 1,000 white roses, blow-ups of Diddy and Barack Obama, and $2,000 of white fabric,” our spy said. “Diddy dec

Obama's sweet talk is a tale of pie
Sen. Barack Obama likes pie. Over the last three days of campaigning, it's become clear that he's given a great deal of thought to pie. He's talked about the kinds of pie he likes, about having a pie contest where he'll be a judge, and how pie fits into the larger economic difficulties of our time. On Thursday afternoon, in Georgetown, Ohio, Obama and Gov. Ted Strickland stopped at a diner for pie. He's been talking about the visit ever since. He waxed on about his pie during a rally in Portsmouth, Ohio t

Tax rebate, food stamp money possible in aid plan
AP - After consulting with Barack Obama, Democratic leaders are likely to call Congress back to work after the election in hopes of passing legislation that would include extended jobless benefits, money for food stamps and possibly a tax rebate, officials said Saturday. The bill’s total cost could reach $150 billion, these officials said. The officials stressed that no final decisions have been made. They spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they did not want to pre-empt a formal announcement. H

Obamas Show that Tall is Sexy!

Poor George and Laura, it’s not enough that soon they’ll have to pack their shiznet and hit the road but each spent considerable time looking up to the incoming first couple.

Paris talks Obama; Julia Hudson’s MySpace; ‘View’ ratings; Palin bypasses Oprah
Paris Hilton was dragged unwittingly into the presidential election when John McCain’s camp featured her image in a campaign ad mocking Barack Obama’s perceived “celebrity” status. Although Hilton struck back with her own clip calling McCain a “wrinkly white-haired guy,” she never revealed which candidate had her support. After Tuesday, she told People magazine:  “The best man won. I’m so thrilled. I love Barack and I think he’s amazing. The world is d

Obama, “Say It To My Face”. If You Do You are Covered Under Obama’s Plan
Obama attacked John McCain in a recent TV interview, saying “Say It To My Face”. What is amusing about Obama’s response is that it is, in and of itself, an attack. Obama has been running a negative attack on McCain from day one. For him to criticize the McCain camp for any negative comment is laughable. Obama has attacked every facet of the current administration and made every attempt to link McCain and the Bush Administration, no matter how different those policies are and no matter

Nicole Kidman: “The Mother Is The Heartbeat Of The Family”
“I would love more children - but that’s up to God!” she told reporters Monday at Glamour’s Women of the Year awards in NYC.

She’s an easy baby,” Nicole added. “She’s giggling,” said Nicole, who showed off a photo of her daughter on Monday’s Oprah Winfrey Show.

Lindsay Lohan Praises “Our First Colored President”
Lindsay Lohan sat down with Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos last night and tried to sound smart by discussing her sentiments on the election of new President Barack Obama. Unfortunately, within the first thirty seconds of the interview, Lindsay referenced Obama as “our first colored president,” officially marking the first time the word “colored” has been used on prime time television since 1974. Statistics indicate that the only way this could be more embarrassing for Li

Oscar Watch: 'Australia' Gets Oprah's Vote
Even before Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman started plying her with Australian cookies and candy, Oprah Winfrey was hyperventilating about "Australia,'' which could use some good buzz after word filtered out from Down Under that director Baz Lurhmann has bowed to studio pressure for a "happy'' ending, not generally a good omen for the Oscars.
