Barack Obama made history this afternoon as he was sworn in as America’s first black president. Over a million watching people crammed into the streets of Washington - with over a billion watching on television around the world - as the 47-year-old junior senator from Chicago became the most powerful man in the world.

The eyes of the world were on Barack Obama as he was sworn in as President of the United States today, but while they may have been listening with rapt attention to his inaugural speech, wife Michelle also found herself in the spotlight. As future First Lady taking her place on the world stage next to her husband, Michelle was aware that some of the focus would fall on her - and her fashion choice. And now we can report that the woman who looks as effortlessly stylish in a chain store dress as she does in a catwalk creation has chosen a pale gold dress by Cuban-American designer Isabel Toledo for the first leg of inauguration day.

The perks of being the President's daughters? For Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, life at the White House is sure to be a wonderland! Besides the all-weather tennis court on the South Lawn and the grand piano on the second floor, they will have their own pastry shop, swimming pool, bowling alley and movie theater – complete with a popcorn cart. The White House also comes with a staff of ushers and pastry chefs to ensure birthday parties will never be the same. They plan slumber parties and scavenger hunts that no Supermom can hope to rival. What's not to like? Michelle Obama’s house rules – make your bed, clear the table, set your own alarm clock – perhaps. "Her rules reign," retired White House Chief Usher Gary J. Walters says. But, former White House Social Secretary Capricia Marshall, who served under the Clintons, says the girls can expect to be pampered. "When a day hasn't gone right, the butlers will make sure you have your favorite dessert." Then there...

Jennifer Hudson to Deliver National Anthem at Convention Barack Obama has asked Jennifer Hudson to sing the national anthem on Thursday – the day of the presumptive Presidential candidate’s much-anticipated address to the Democratic convention in Denver, her rep tells people. “His reps called and said we’d love for you to sing the anthem on Thursday,” Hudson’s rep tells people. “She’s thrilled and excited. It’s a tremendous honor.” The DNC will not comment about Hudson’s performance until the official schedule is announced. The Dreamgirls Oscar winner and Sex and the City movie costar, whose self-titled album will be out Sept. 30, has previously expressed a desire to help the Obama campaign. “I’m so proud and excited for him,” Hudson, 26, told E! Online about Obama in June. “I haven’t gotten a call from them yet, but he does have my support.” Hudson will not be the only vocalist Thursday. Bruce Springsteen is scheduled to close the convention that night.

Michelle Obama: Politics Hasn’t Changed My Husband Michelle Obama gave the kind of intimate, emotional endorsement only a wife could give in her headlining speech kicking off the Democratic National Convention on Monday night. She recalled her husband, Barack Obama, as a nervous new dad, before the hype and hoopla of his life on the national stage, and said he has not been changed by politics. “He’s the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital 10 years ago this summer,” said Michelle, “inching along at a snail’s pace, peering anxiously at us in the rearview mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands … [He was] determined to give her what he never had, the affirming embrace of a father’s love.” Her voice caught with emotion and she sniffed several times. At the start of a four-day gathering that will culminate in her husband receiving the Democratic nomination for president, Michelle, 44, remembered the long, hard-fought primary season. “Af...
