FOR DISCUSSION: Would #RHOA Kenya Moore Make A Good ‘Michelle Obama’?? [VIDEO]

Jul, 1 2014 | Written by ATLien
Kenya Moore of The Real Housewives of Atlanta hit up the red carpet of the 2014 BET Awards looking gorgeous last Sunday (June 29, 2014).

Moore was asked by the crew at DishNation who she would want to portray in a film and she stated:

I would love to play Michelle Obama, I would die to play her. She is an amazing woman! She’s a mother, she’s a mogul, she’s a philanthropist.

She is just a great person. I would love to play someone like her.

As you know, Porsha Williams is guest hosting on the show all Summer and Williams had the perfect opportunity to throw quite a bit of shade at Moore’s response, stating:

You want to aspire to play a role of something that you probably would never be…

OUCH! Kenya got her wig snatched yet again…

But have no fear… Kenya threw a bit of shade of her own too.

In illustrating a willingness to act on his own, Obama also announced that he will sign an executive order increasing the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 for new federal contracts and encouraged the private sector to do the same.

We need to raise to minimum wage to ensure that people working full time don't live in poverty. Give America a raise!! #SOTU

First Lady Michelle Obama covers the April 2013 edition of Vogue.

It’s the second time the first lady’s photo has graced the front of the fashion bible, the first was back in March, 2009.

Photographer Annie Leibovitz shot the newest cover of Obama, who wore a blue and purple Reed Krakoff sheath taken straight from her very own closet. The green background, the cool color palette and the choice to wear Reed Krakoff is also reminiscent of the FLOTUS’ brand new official portrait.

FLOTUS Michelle Obama Makes Surprise Oscar Appearance… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Feb, 25 2013 | Written by ATLien
Did you catch First Lady Michelle Obama on the 2013 Academy Awards last night?

The FLOTUS wasn’t actually in Hollywood but she made a historic surprise appearance during this year’s Oscars.

One of the most powerful women in the country stepped into the spotlight to eloquently announce Oscar’s biggest prize — the award for best picture.

Actor Jack Nicholson walked onstage at the end of the evening right before the best picture pronouncement and joked about how the academy tradition is for the award to be announced by a solo presenter. Nicholson stunned the crowd when he announced, “It’s my pleasure to introduce live from the White House, the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama.”

Michelle Obama appeared via live satellite feed on a huge screen above Nicholson wearing a shiny gray gown and backed by several people dressed in formal military uniform.
