Carla Bruni Wants Michelle Obama's Advice
Originally posted 11/19/2008 05:20PM
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy may have more experience being a first lady than Michelle Obama, but the French president's wife says she's in no position to give advice to the next first lady of the United States of America.
"I must say she doesn't need advice," Bruni-Sarkozy, who married Nicolas Sarkozy in February, told Matt Lauer on Wednesday's Today show. "It would be better for me to get advice from her!"

Kerry Washington Offers Obama Her 'First Dog' Suggestion
Originally posted 11/11/2008 09:00AM
What kind of dog should Barack Obama get? All of America seems to have an opinion – and Kerry Washington is no exception!
The actress – who is good friends with the Illinois Senator, and even celebrated his victory with him in Chicago – has been campaigning for the First Family to adopt a Shorkie (a mix between a Shih Tzu and a Yorkie).
"My dog is hypoallergenic, and I've told them all about her," Washington – the proud owner of a Shorkie named Josephine Baker – tells PEOPLE. "They are loving dogs and great for the girls. So we'll see what they will choose."

What Kind of Dog Should Malia & Sasha Get?
Originally posted 11/06/2008 02:45PM
Not since Knut, the polar bear, has an animal so captured the public's imagination – and this one hasn't even been found yet.
Speaking before the world at his victory rally in Chicago on Tuesday night, President-elect Barack Obama told daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7: "I love you more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House."
It's among many promises the candidate made during the campaign – and one he'll be keeping, for sure. But what breed – or breeds – should the new First Puppy be?

Michelle Obama: We Buy the Clothes We Wear
Originally posted 10/28/2008 08:40AM
Woman to woman, Michelle Obama gets Sarah Palin's need for new clothes – but, she is quick to point out: "Whatever we wear, we buy."
Admiring Obama's bright yellow outfit Monday night, Tonight Show host Jay Leno asked, "What is it, about $60-grand? $60-, $70,000 that outfit?"
"Actually, this is a J. Crew ensemble ... " she responded.
"I have no idea what that means," said Leno, wondering whether Republican vice presidential candidate Palin's acceptance of as much as $150,000 in new clothes from Republican National Committee was "a bad move on her part."
"I try to be empathetic," the wife of presidential candidate Barack Obama said. "I mean, especially a VP pick, it's like being shot out of a cannon ... All of a sudden, you are the center of attention. But our policy has always been whatever we wear, for us, we buy."

As for her own guy, Obama, 44, talked about her husband's ceaseless energy and promise – and about the couple's courtship.
Asked how she and Barack met, Michelle said he simply told her, "We should go out. He had no special lines. Barack's not some line-giver."
