OBama Family

The Obama family recently sat down with People magazine to talk about their family life. In a snippet of the interview below, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and wife Michelle tell People how they raise their girls in the public’s eye.

PEOPLE: Someone told me today that you don’t do birthday presents.

Michelle: No, because we spend hundreds of dollars on a birthday party and movie tickets and pizza and popcorn …

Barack: That sleepover is enough. We want to teach some limits to them. And their friends bring over presents.

Michelle: They get so much stuff that it just becomes numbing. Malia believes there is still a Santa Claus even though she’s a little wary because some of her friends are non-believers. But Malia says, “Ma, I know there is a Santa because there’s no way you’d buy me all that stuff.” [Laughing]

PEOPLE: So what does a slumber party at the Obama house look like?

Barack: They’re pretty noisy.

Michelle: The older they get, they just talk a lot. But they’re at the age where they’re pretty self-sufficient. [For Malia's birthday] we’re going to go swimming, see Wall-E, make pizzas, have sundaes.

Barack: I usually go for the swim but this time I want to go to the movie just because Wall-E has gotten great reviews. I find actually that children’s movies are the best movies these days. But I’ll probably, after that, peel off until the cake.

Michelle: [Laughs] “Peel off.”

PEOPLE: What does discipline look like in your house?

Barack: Mommy raising her voice.

Michelle: It’s usually a lecture. It’s a lot of conversation. Or it’s separating them. Or it’s saying if you guys can’t decide nicely what program to watch, then you don’t get to watch anything. It’s sort of pulling away a privilege. But in all honesty, we don’t have to discipline –

Barack: If you ask them to do something, they’re like any other kid …

Michelle: They’ll whine a little bit.

Barack: They’ll test boundaries. But if you say, “Guys, this is what we need to do …”

Michelle: An example of this is one night I was going out, I had to do a fund-raiser, and I told Malia, “You guys really need to have an early bedtime because you’ve got to get up tomorrow and have a busy day.” So my mom was there, and my mom doesn’t adhere to bedtime. She’s kinda, “Well, maybe you wanna start taking your bath…” But that night, she said she sat down to watch TV with them and they both got up, turned off the TV and left. And my mom was like, “Where are you going?” And they said, “We have got to go to bed early today, Grandma.” And they went downstairs, took their baths and went to bed, and my mom was just stunned.

50 Cent Say's His Babymama Is Holding His Son Hostage



Rapper 50 Cent says that his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins is holding his 11-year-old son hostage. The rapper was recently given visitation rights to see his son but says that since the court battle over their long island residence,Shaniqua has fled with their son. In a new interview with Sister 2 Sister magazine,50 a.k.a Curtis Jackson gives us insight as to how the battle between him and his ex began:

The rap star insists the war of words began when he insisted on finding his son a better home and improving his education.He tells the publication, “It wasn’t important before the beginning of last year because he (Marquise) was being home schooled… I was paying a teacher $60,000 just to teach him by himself.“He was learning slower because it was just him and the teacher. So he needed to go to where he had the best possible schooling district and I found a house in the area that was, like, $1.5 million.”
But 50 claims Tompkins started receiving bad advice from friends, insisting on more child support to match her new situation.The battle led to the rapper winning a court order to evict Tompkins from the home he’d bought for her: “Her lawyer decided to present to the public that 50 Cent is kicking his son out of the house.”Since the fire, Tompkins has fled with the rapper’s son, as she battles custody and child support.
He adds, “Now they done kidnapped my first one (son). My son’s mother got him, holding him hostage.”

Michelle On How Her Children May Turn Out


“There are the small worries, micro-worries, about whether we’re doing all we can to let them be fully themselves, trying to make sure they have the space to be who they are and that they feel loved and supported. Then, there’s the macro worry about, ‘Okay, if we do our jobs and they turn out well as individuals, what kind of world are they going to be in?’ ~Michelle Obama’s thoughts on her kids (Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7).

Monica Talks About Her Boys And Engagement

Singer Monica recently sat down for an interview with StraightFromTheA.com to talk about her kids and her engagement to the father of her two children. In the interview,Monica mentions that her fiance Rocko Da Don a.k.a Rodney Ramone Hill proposed to her on Christmas Eve:

“It was Christmas Eve at midnight, we were home alone in the bedroom and he said ‘close your eyes and listen.’ He put the ring on first. I knew what was coming next so I did what I was asked. He proceeded to talk about our history together, the kids. He and he very directly just popped the question. I automatically said ‘yes!’

Monica says that her older son Lil Rocko,3(not pictured), is not at all jealous of his baby brother Romelo Montez. “I included [Lil Rocko] in EVERYTHING during the pregnancy…except naming the baby of course.I let Rodney choose the first name and his middle name is my brother’s.” The singer also adds that she takes her kids everywhere and that she would never move her children away from her family in Atlanta:

“I would never separate my children from my family.Also, my entire crew is from Atlanta and I couldn’t imagine separating them from their families.Rodney and I have looked into vacation homes but my main home will always be Atlanta. If you are from the A, [then] you know that Atlanta artists are extremely supportive of one another.”
