I'll be brave and admit I did NOT like the hat.

I was waiting for someone else to say that, Eeyore. I didn't want to be the only one.

Nathan Lane claims to have snuck into the inauguaration inside her hat as he was unable to get a ticket to the event, lol. I believe many people thought it clownish but whatever.

LOL - There is nothing wrong with not liking her hat. I happened to like it but as I said before, I like hats.

Los Angeles (E! Online) – The maker of Beanie Babies can forget about getting a fist bump from the first lady.

Michelle Obama has issued a statement about Ty's newest dolls for their TyGirlz Collection, Sweet Sasha and Marvelous Malia. The plush pair are named after her and President Barack Obama's daughters, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10.

"We believe it is inappropriate to use young, private citizens for marketing purposes," said Michelle's spokeswoman in a statement.

Wow, I'm surprised the company made such a blunder. That's just inconsiderate and a little tacky.

Well when you are the daughter of a president, especially such a high profile president, you are not exactly a private citizen.

It is a little weird though.

You'd think the company would have asked for an endorsement (permission) first from the Obama family BEFORE they went off half-c*cked and created the dolls. Dumb.

I'm surprised that is legal. I would think they would need to get a release or something.

Opportunistic, for sure. I'll bet the girls each get one or a set, though, before Michelle shuts them down on it. I would think the girls would be geeked to have dolls of themselves. Doesn't mean its OK under these circumstances, though.

I liked the hat on Aretha. (and Romeo).

I think you get the good perks (slumber party at the White House with your new friends from the very good private school, Jonas Brothers, front row seats to kids concert..) and maybe some you don't appreciate.. and seems like cute plush dolls are almost the least of their worries.

Gosh, Oprah was totally geeked out when Marie Osmond made an Oprah doll (but of course I think it was a one of a kind, for Oprah only, difference being she wasn't making money off that particular doll).

Nice that they put breasts on them, too. Because pre-teens aren't sexualized enough in American culture.

Oh my Tish, I hadn't noticed that.

This is an article I read about those dolls the other day.

"The Oak Brook-based company chose the dolls' names because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to President Obama's daughters, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.

"There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not.""

Ya know, they just happened to chose the names Sasha and Malia cuz they're beautiful (they are pretty names) not cuz of the Obama girls <insert eye roll here.>

As much as I love Ellen, she hasn't the panache to pull off that little number. The hat 'wore' Ellen, but Aretha wore the hat.

True.. I don't know that I'd like that hat on too many people, and I don't like hats on me or really on most people, but I did like this one on her.

I think that the hat looks silly on Ellen for a number of reasons. One reason is that she is wearing the hat indoors with an outfit that doesn't match the hat. Another is that the hat doesn't suit her head. The main reason is that I suspect she intended it to look silly. She is a comedian. I do think it looked great on Aretha.

How cool that she's a long-time customer of this guy and came to him for this performance.
