When I came across this video, I couldn't tell if it was satirical or serious. In it, sweet Kim leaves for college after saying goodbye to her parents and boyfriend. Nine months later, she returns pregnant, angry, and spouting off information about the South American rain forests.

If President Obama seems insanely likable, that's because he's getting his moves straight from another lovable dad: Cliff Huxtable. For example, both Barack and Cliff are married to hot lawyers and both have inexplicably cute daughters.
In fact, this isn't the first time Obama has been linked to the Huxtables.

I've heard stories of savvy English people hopping across the pond for a shopping holiday in New York City thanks to the strong pound; but believe it or not, the Chinese are taking shopping trips with the mission of buying million-dollar homes.
These aren't rogue bargain hunters. Rather they're part of organized tours targeted at Chinese investors looking to take advantage of deflated American real estate prices.

I've always had a soft spot for first-twins Jenna and Barbara Bush. It's got to be hard growing up under so much scrutiny, but they seem warmhearted and never resentful of the American people. People magazine interviewed Jenna and Barbara about the past eight years, and about what's next for their family.

Actress and UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie has warmed up to Barack Obama. The mother of six told German Vanity Fair:Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay.

'Tis the season for sleep away camp — and for 100 kids attending a weeklong camp in the tiny Rocky Mountain town of Larkspur organized it's no exception. The only difference is, the camp is free, and sponsored by the National Military Family Association. The association is hosting 10,000 campers in 37 states this summer — with a special mission: to help both veterans and their kids deal with the stresses of deployment.

Tonight is the much anticipated (at least for me!) season finale of The Bachelorette and I'm crossing my fingers that she chooses Jason! I really liked this season, but I never quite understood DeAnna's decision making process since the last two men standing couldn't be more opposite. Jesse's a free spirit who marches to the beat of his own drummer while Jason is the traditional all-American dad who just seems like the obvious choice for DeAnna (if you ask me)!
