He’s a comedian, so who knows if he’s joking or not, but David Cross is claiming he brought cocaine to the recent White House Correspondents’ Association dinner and snorted it “maybe 40 feet from” the president. During a stand-up routine this week, the ‘Arrested Development’ star said he and his “fancy Hollywood actress” girlfriend Amber Tamblyn were seated “super close” to President Barack Obama and near several members of the president’s cabinet when he thought: Yep, it’s a good time to do drugs.
On a dare from a friend, he decided to do something that even he admits was “crazy.” Via Politico Click:
“But it’s crazy and there’s security, Secret Service is standing there … I’ve got photos of all this. I’m there and the president is right here and with all these people at the table” he snorted coke. “Maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!”
He texted his friend to say, “No way you can ever top that.”
The party may have “White House” in the title, but it isn’t held there. This year, drinks and jokes (and apparently cocaine) were enjoyed at the Hilton Hotel on May 9.
On President Obama’s 24th golf game as president he finally invited a woman in his foursome, with Melody Barnes, his chief domestic policy adviser, joining him on the links at the U.S. Army’s Fort Belvoir course on Sunday. Barnes’ invitation to golf with the president came as Obama was catching some flak for playing sports just with men.
Ambre Lake from “Rock of Love” turned heads on Wednesday when she took her shirt off for gay marriage in front of a Mormon temple in L.A. and the cops were forced to intervene.
Ambre taped her mouth, scribbled “Legalize Gay” across her stomach, and then whipped her top off on Santa Monica Boulevard … in front of the second biggest Mormon temple on the planet and it was all for a photo shoot in protest of California’s recent ban on gay marriage.
The topless display didn’t last long though she was forced to cover up after a police officer approached very nicely and said, “You are causing a traffic hazard.”
You betcha! Former Alaska governor Sarah Palin will appear on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Nov. 16.
Harpo announced the booking today, adding that Winfrey and Palin will meet for the very first time on the episode.
Palin has been courted by numerous talk shows. Other than news-channel interviews and a cameo on “Saturday Night Live,” she hasn’t made it to Leno, Letterman, etc.
Of course, there’s really one reason Palin chose Oprah: She’s got a book to sell. And Oprah can move tanker-loads of books. Palin will be hawking her upcoming memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life.
Palin was John McCain’s running mate on the Republican ticket for the 2008 presidential election. Oprah endorsed Barack Obama in the election, the first time she publicly supported a candidate.
Think Oprah can see Russia from her Chicago skyscraper?
Celebrity photog Annie Leibovitz has unveiled the official family portrait of President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their daughters, Sasha and Malia. The First Family were photographed in The Green Room of The White House on Sept. 1. Notably absent from the picture? First Dog Bo Obama.
Annie’s relationship with The Obamas goes back to 2004, when the famous shutterbug snapped then-Senator Obama for the cover of Vanity Fair Magazine.
It’s a good day to be a stoner, that is if you live in one of the 14 states that allows the wacky tabacky to be prescribed for medical reasons.
On Monday the Obama administration issued new guidelines for arresting those who are both legally selling and buying the drug.
Is this how the Nobel Peace Prize winner is using his new found status, by lighting up a peace pipe???
The new policy tells prosecutors to stop wasting their time going after those in compliance with the state law, specifically those providing or using medical marijuana.
The 3 page long memo urges the prosecutors in the 14 states allowing medical marijuana and to top officials at the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration to go after marijuana cases that involve violence, the illegal use of firearms, selling pot to minors, money laundering or involvement in other crimes.
While the DEA and FBI may be upset about the new policy, medical marijuana advocates are excited that the Prez has kept his word on changing the policy.
Bruce Mirken of the Marijuana Policy Project says the change “moves the federal government dramatically toward respecting scientific and practical reality.”
President Barack Obama made his first visit as president to the hurricane-ravished region of New Orleans on Thursday, where he committed to helping citizens continue to rebuild, more than four years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.
Obama also hosted a Town Hall Meeting
at the University of New Orleans — and it was Tyren Scott, a 4th-grader from Paulina, Louisiana, who stole the show with the final question of the night.
“Why do people hate you? And why, aren’t they supposed to love you, if God is love?” Tyren asked.
“First of all, I did get elected president
, so not everybody hates me; I got a whole lot of votes,” the President joked, patting Tyren on the shoulder as the audience clapped. “A lot of it is what’s called politics, where once one party wins, the other party feels like they’ve got to poke you a little bit to keep you on your toes. So you shouldn’t take it too seriously.”

He went on: “But people are worried about their own lives. A lot of people are losing their jobs right now. They’re losing their health care or they lost their homes to foreclosure and they’re feeling frustrated, and when you’re president of the United States, you’ve got to deal with all of it. You get some of the credit when things are going good, but when things are going bad, you get some of the blame.”
Obama added, “But that’s all right, I’m a pretty tough guy. Are you a tough guy? You look pretty tough. So you’ve just got to keep going on going, even when folks are criticizing you, when you know you’re doing it for other people.”
The Norwegian Nobel Committee says U.S. President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”
