Jimmy Fallon Slips Into Some Spandex For Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! Plan

What better way to get kids off the couch than the sight of Jimmy Fallon clad in skin-tight Spandex? They’ll be sprinting away from the house in no time! All that screaming just means they’re burning more calories! All kidding aside (read: no kidding aside), we appreciate Fallon’s willingness to slip into some sweatbands and get pelted in the face to promote Michelle Obama‘s Let’s Move! Initiative last night. If a late night host has to be humiliated in a potato sack race at the White House every single day in order to get our kids active, then so be it! Oh, more Bo Obama cameos would probably help too. Well…they won’t cause more childhood obesity, that’s for sure.

All and all, this sketch ties Beyonce’s adorable “Move Your Body” video for our favorite Let’s Move! promo. Though…did anyone else just want to see Michelle let loose and just dominate Jimmy in every field? We’ve all seen the First Lady’s arms; she could have yanked that tug-of-war rope right out of his fumbling hands. Next time, just go for it Mrs. Obama. For the children.

Tracy Morgan Wants To Climb Michelle Obama Like “A Tall Mountain”

Tracy Morgan might be looking for a new country to call home if he’s not careful. While appearing on Lopez Tonight Monday evening, Morgan opened up about meeting our commander-in-chief at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner last summer. However, it seems like the 30 Rock star was far more impressed with meeting the President’s wife. Yes, Tracy Morgan has thing for First Lady Michelle Obama. And that’s putting it mildly.

“I looked at Michelle and she said, ‘Hi Tracy!’ and I just got hard!” Morgan over-shared. “Michelle looked like a tall mountain, and I’m gonna climb it just ’cause it’s there. Kilimanjaro!” We wonder if this is what the founding father’s had in mind when they outlined Freedom of Speech. Let’s hope the Prez isn’t the jealous type, or else Gitmo might have a new inmate.

Michelle Obama Doesn’t Get An Invite To Will And Kate’s Royal Wedding

Are you as excited about the royal wedding as we are? Now that William is off the market, we can focus whole-heartedly on our favorite SINGLE ginge, Prince Harry. Forget what Kate Middleton’s going to wear at the wedding, we want to see Harry rock some uniform. And we’re totally going to ignore this business of Harry and Chelsea Davy supposedly reuniting on a date. Because it totally didn’t happen. Heard that? Didn’t happen.

But unfortunately all our hopes of somehow attending that wedding (hah) have been officially dashed. Because if Michelle Obama didn’t get invited to Will and Kate’s “I do’s” there ain’t a chance in hell for anybody else. That’s pretty bad form on the Brits! Mrs O made an appearance on Live! With Regis And Kelly and revealed that she really hadn’t been invite to the wedding. But as always, the First Lady was gracious about the royal snub saying, “Marriage is a personal private thing, they should invite who they want to invite. And if I get invited, I’ll go.” Dudes…. You can’t diss Michelle. You gotta invite her now! So come on Royal Letter Writer (we bet they have one of those). Do your thing.

Michelle Obama Wears McQueen To State Dinner

Alright, Mrs. O! We’ve always been fans of the first lady and her fashion stylings, but Michelle Obama in Alexander McQueen has hit it out of the ball park. The occasion was a state dinner for the Chinese President, Hu Jintao last night. It’s also less than a month away from the one year anniversary of McQueen’s death, so this whole outfit feels like the prefect tribute. This gorgeous gown was designed by the late designer’s former assistant, Sarah Burton, who looks like she just fine at the reigns of the fashion house.

Just look at it? The crimson and black ruffled silk organza creation looks like a dream on Michelle. Perhaps it was customized, because this design seems to be a variation of this dress from the McQueen collection? She merchandised it up just right too, with large droplet earrings and a fringed black shawl. Who knew she would get so avant-garde? We guess that’s why there’s a whole website dedicated to Michelle-fashion, because you never know what she’s going to throw on next.

The Olsen Twins Want To Dress Michelle Obama, Filthy Hippie Chic To Sweep Nation

ao-mo-mko

Teacup-sized designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have big plans for their designer clothing line the Row. So big, in fact, that they’re going to start with the White House. According to the twins, their high-end label would be perfect for Michelle Obama. Gushes Ashley, “I’d love to get Michelle Obama in the Row. The simple suits and things.”

As most people with the power of sight know, the Olsens are well-known for dressing like Janis Joplin and Cousin It on a bender (Historical note: this may have actually happened). We doubt Mary-Kate and Ashley have the same definition for the word “simple” — and, while we’re at it, the word “suit” — as the rest of America. However, the past few years have seen the twins make a glacially slow move away from Oscar the Grouch chic and toward a sleeker, albeit still bizarrely oversized, wardrobe. Perhaps Mary-Kate abd Ashley have been wearing such enormous frocks this entire time as a way to make a statement to the 5’10” FLOTUS. A statement like, “We refuse to make clothes that fit anyone beside you, Michelle; we don’t care how many car doors or street cleaners we must get caught before you buy them.”

But fit isn’t the only reason the First Lady should grab her AmEx and helicopter over to the mall. Says Ashley, “It’s all made in America, so why not?” Good point, Olsen #2! Unfortunately Mrs. Obama caught so much flack for flashing her bare arms after becoming First Lady, we can only imagine what FOX News would have to say if she showed up in a formal denim jumpsuit or a white satin fem-tuxedo. Rush Limbaugh would have a heart attack for days. [Photo: Getty Images]

Celeb Celtics Fans Bummed As Lakers Take It To Game 7

Peaches, Eli, Maria and Dane

While your Leos and your Jacks were certainly happy to see the Lakers tie up the NBA Championship series against the Celtics, you have to feel sorry for the celebs who risked ridicule by showing their Boston pride at the Staples Center in LA last night. Just looking at Eli Roth‘s face tells us how frustrating the pummeling must have been, and just looking at Peaches Geldof tells us how confusing she must have found the game. Ah well, at least the loss kept Dane Cook from preening. See photos of all these celebs, Christina Aguilera, Michelle Obama and many, many more in the gallery below. Think they’ll all show up for the final match-up Thursday?

Casting Couch: Top Ten Actresses That Could Replace Megan Fox In Transformers 3

foxreplacements

Hey there, Michael Bay! Not sure that we’ve been properly introduced. Here at The FABLife, we’re big fans of the way you are able to subtly wrench powerful emotional performances out of your actors, and we’re surely not the first to tell you that your mise-en-scène would make Truffaut weep with jealousy. Just kidding, we mostly love you because there’s no one better in the business at blowing sh*t up.

And hey, we heard the news that you fired Megan Fox from Transformers 3. We applaud the decision; after all, you can’t let some scrawny, hammer-thumbed bimbette tarnish the directorial legacy that you’ve been building ever since you first stepped behind the lens as the director of Playboy Video Centerfold: Kerri Kendall! Gotta keep your eye on the prize, can’t let one bad apple ruin the bunch, we get it.

But since we’ve heard that you’ve already started filming the third installment of Transformers in Los Angeles, we figured you might need some help finding a new love interest for Shia LaBeouf. To that end, we have gone to the trouble of compiling a list of ten actresses who could replace that ungrateful harlot, Megan Fox, as well as the reasons you’ll want to talk to them. Hopefully this will save you some time and allow you to complete the film in time for its planned release date of July 4, 2012!

Even Michelle Obama Has Bieber Fever

Say what you will about First Lady Michelle Obama awkwardly (and dare we say, adorably) dancing to Justin Bieber performing “Baby,” but the White House hasn’t been this fun since Nancy Reagan‘s Just Say No campaign got everyone even more into drugs. Cool mom Michelle can be seen in the above clip next to daughter Malia rocking out in the most mom-ish of ways, shaking her hips and waving her hands like she does kinda care. Apparently your mom taking you to your first concert (Debbie Gibson, 1988) is a traumatic right of passage even Malia and Sasha Obama can’t avoid. [via JoyEngel]

Trick-or-Treating With The Stars

From the West Village of NYC to the suburbs of LA, celebrity parents hit the pavement with their kiddies to gather candy on Halloween. Jon Stewart donned a pirate’s hat as he and the fam strolled in Manhattan. Kate Beckinsale brought daughter Lily to a party in Santa Monica. Christina Aguilera looked darling in coordinating skeleton outfits with son Max. A top-hatted Paul Rudd took son Jack out-and-about in NYC. It’s nice to see the innocent side of the oft-skankified holiday. [Photos: Getty Images and Splash News Online]
