Barack Obama Responds To Mitt Romney’s 47% Comment
Last night, President Obama took to David Letterman’s couch to fight back at Mitt Romney’s claim that “47% of Obama voters depend on government aid and believe they’re victims.” The Prez smartly noted that Americans are not “victims” and then made the claim that he’s the country’s everyman saying, “My expectation is that if you want to be president, you have to work for everyone, not just for some.” Watch the interview in its entirety above!

After his cameo on Letterman, Obama ditched his suit and partied it up at the 40/40! Ok, so maybe he didn’t ditch the suit, but he did slide over to Jay-Z and Beyonce’s fundraiser at Jiggaman’s club, where the first couple rounded up 100 wealthy friends who each paid $40,000 to rub elbows with the Obamas. At the event, the president thanked his hosts, and joked saying Jay-Z and he had a lot in common. “We both have daughters and our wives are more popular than we are.” Jay and Bey raised $4 million for the president’s re-election campaign and the Democratic party.

During a break in the show, Gaga sat down, lit up and went on to explain that taking tokes have curbed her drinking and how the drug allows her to approach her music from a ‘spiritual’ place.

Solo spoke to Lurve Magazine recently and dished that while she takes pride in her personal style, she’s not interested in fashion. So while you might see her pop up at fashion week, don’t expect her to be slapping PR girls for front row access. The singer/songwriter, and face of Madewell, also touched on her unofficial (and unwanted) role as a natural hair advocate. She told Lurve, “I’m actually really trying to navigate my feelings on the entire hair issue and it’s tough doing that publicly.” (Via: Fashionista)
