Obama Logs on to YouTube
Not that I log on to YouTube for anything but ridiculousness, but I could make an exception and squeeze our President in between JD and Diddy lol
President-elect Barack Obama has announced today (November 14) a new plan to begin recording weekly Democratic addresses for YouTube and radio broadcast this weekend.According to Variety, Obama will extend his stride in history making, along with being the first ever U.S. African-American President, by taping his messages to the nation prior to his January inauguration, and proceeding to broadcast them throughout his run in office.
"President-elect Obama will continue to record and make available the Democratic radio address on video when he is in the White House," a transition team member told Variety. "No President-elect has ever turned the radio address into a multimedia opportunity before. This is just one of many ways that President-elect Obama will communicate directly with the American people and make the White House and the political process more transparent."
Aiming to develop a closer relationship to the American citizens via the Internet much like former President Franklin D. Roosevelt did with his radio messages, Obama is expected to build off the online success.
"The Obama team has written the playbook on how to use YouTube for political campaigns," YouTube rep Steve Grove told Variety. "
Obama told us in a YouTube interview last year that he plans to have 'fireside chats' on video, and we expect his administration will launch a White House YouTube channel very soon after taking office.
Viewers are expected to witness video interviews, Q&A sessions along with a more transparent image of the White House.The videos will reportedly be posted every Saturday. (From Sohh.com)

Scarlett Johansson Finally Responds To Lindsay Lohan ‘Bloody C**t’ Graffiti
The actress is confused...
Scarlett Johansson has finally responded to Lindsay Lohan's 2006 graffiti-based attack on her.
The Mean Girls star reportedly wrote "Scarlett is a bloody c**t" with permanent marker in a New York bathroom stall during a night out with Kate Moss two years ago.
And Scarlett insists she is still baffled by Lindsay's sentiments, since the two actresses have only met a handful of times.
She tells Allure, "I don't know what the motivation was. I remember it was something really vulgar - I mean shockingly so, like, 'Whoa, what, who are you?'
"I don't really know that person (Lohan). I only met her, like, three times."

Ashlee Simpson in labour
Ashlee Simpson reportedly went into labour with her first child over the weekend.
The 'Little Miss Obsessive' singer's husband, Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz, was said to have texted his friends on Friday night (14.11.08) telling them the happy news he and Ashlee would soon be welcoming their first child into the world.
A source close to Pete told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "Pete texted his friends last night that Ashlee is in labour!"
The rumour was further fuelled after Pete wrote on his blog he would be cancelling his scheduled appearance on 'Larry King Live' "due to breaking news and scheduling conflicts".
It has since been reported that Ashlee has now given birth to her bouncing baby.
However, a representative for the 24-year-old singer has denied the claims, adding to US TV show 'Access Hollywood' that Ashlee "has not yet gone into labour".

Samantha Ronson’s PETA fury
Samantha Ronson has blasted animal rights group PETA for pelting her lady friend Lindsay Lohan with flour.
The DJ has branded the person who threw the flour at Lindsay - who arrived at the VIP Room Theater nightclub in Paris, France, wearing a fur stole on Saturday (15.11.08) - no better than an "animal".
Samantha - who has been dating 'Mean Girls' star Lindsay since early this year - wrote on her blog: "The girl who threw the flour acted like an animal herself. I take that back, it's an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person.
"It's a pity that some groups feel the need to assault people as opposed to fighting with words. Whenever I feel the need to vent about something that feels unfair to me I reach for my computer, I don't run out of the house with abusive intentions. I don't expect everyone to react the same way, but I do expect people to respect each other."
A representative for PETA - who included Lindsay on their Worst Dressed List earlier this year because of her frequent fur wearing - has defended the group's actions.
Spokesperson Robbie LeBlanc explained: "There is nothing remotely 'styleable' about the torture and death of animals killed for fur. Lindsay Lohan might be able to ignore images of bloody animals skinned alive for their pelts, but we hope a dash of flour will help her rise to the occasion and forsake fur once and for all."
