Shaquille O'Neal With the Scariest Beyoncé Halloween Costume Ever
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsThings that can't be unseen: a 7-foot, 300-and-something pound dude in drag lip-syncing Beyoncé. You've been warned. Shaquille O'Neal, everybody! Impending night terrors aside, this is still nowhere near as embarrassing as getting Bieberized. So there's that. Shaq said his original plan was to hit the subway dressed in costume, but was told it wouldn't be a good idea after he recently caused a scene because he posed as a statue for one hour in Boston's Harvard Square. "I got a call from somebody important who said it probably wouldn't be safe for me or for anybody else to do that on a ...

By David Knowles - Politics DailyGen. Stanley McChrystal is headed to the to the presidential woodshed -- a place that has seen its fair share of use in the first year and a half of Barack Obama's administration. In fact, the words "summoned to the White House" have been used frequently during Obama's tenure, whether in an attempt to woo political opponents, scold corporate executives, lavish praise on allies, or simply to hear another point of view. Here's a list of who's been called for a private audience, and what they've been summoned for: I. Summoned to the Woodshed Gen. Stanley McCrystal: Following the release of ...
'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 ...
No Party Crashers at Obamas' State Dinner
By not in system - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (May 20) -- For all the world-class food and entertainment, deft touches and elegance of the evening, the Obamas' second state dinner was as notable for what didn't happen as what did. As far as anyone could tell, no one crashed the party. And no other major disasters were apparent either. As the evening wore on, the smiles on the faces of White House staff seemed to get more relaxed. And even the president loosened up. "I know we just had a very formal dinner," Obama said as guests reassembled in a tent on the South Lawn for dessert and after-dinner entertainment. "But we heard ...

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 ...

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. ...
