'Single Ladies' Dancers and Miss USA: The Sizzle Over Sex
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyEven though booty-shaking is a national pastime, much like McDonald's, SUVs and politicians with mistresses, we often struggle with our indulgences. Especially when our young people have an appetite for the very things that enthrall and seduce us. We get hot and bothered about child dancers gyrating on stage to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." But we're OK with Beyoncé herself performing at a White House state dinner because her alter ego Sasha Fierce stayed home. (What will be our thoughts when we see Liza Minnelli perform "Single Ladies" in "Sex in the City 2"?) We ...
Beyonce to Headline at White House State Dinner
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyBeyoncé and Rodrigo y Gabriela -- Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero -- will headline the entertainment on Wednesday night when President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama host a state dinner for President Felipe Calderón of Mexico and his wife, Margarita Zavala. Some 200 people are invited to the East Room for the dinner, and more asked over for dessert and entertainment in a pavilion erected on the South Lawn.

Etta James Lashes Out at Obama, Beyonce
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyAs we reported last month, pop superstar Beyoncé Knowles was tapped to serenade Barack and Michelle Obama for their first dance as President and First Lady. Her choice of song? The Etta James standard "At Last." Well, apparently no one ever checked in with Etta James on that one, because at a recent concert, she ripped into both Obama and Beyoncé ... "You guys know your president right? You know the one with the big ears. Yeah, wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours. I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whipped. The great ...
Hannah Montana, Jonas Brothers to Perform at Inauguration
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyMaybe you have a fine appreciation for simple melodies and lyrics written in an LA boardroom. Maybe you think that Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce are all washed up. Or maybe you just don't have enough high-pitched shrieking in your life.Whatever the reason, we know you're going to want to be at DC's Verizon Center this Monday night for the "Kids' Inaugural Concert," featuring Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato! (We had to Wikipedia that last one - turns out it's a 16-year-old girl who used to be on "Barney.")But you can't go...Contrary to initial reports that it ...
Gay Bishop, Queen Latifah, King 3 Headline Inaugural Kickoff Knight

Is LJ 'Crazy in Love' with Beyonce?
By Phil Yoon - AOL NewsNormally, I don't like playing the role of gossip reporter, or gossip anything. I am a sports man, and I like talking about sports and sports only. But since the Chiefs have a long break, the news is slow, and this is a bit too juicy to pass up, here goes."Head Chick in Charge" over at the Leave the Man Alone blog reports that Larry Johnson may be seeing Beyoncé, and not just in passing:Not to be outdone by fly by night newbie Tony Romo, Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson may be claiming his dream girl. There is a vicious Internet rumor that Larry Johnson is hollering at Beyonce. ...
