Inauguration Day Festivities and some fun gossip

Most importantly in entertainment news today is the inauguration of our 44th President, Barack Obama!

To celebrate the historical moment of Obama's official inauguration, LightInTheBox has launched a special feature on Obama fashion and life-style. On January 20th 2009, Barack Obama will be the first African American to become the president of the United States. It will also be the most expensive inauguration to date, says Yahoo! News. The special feature will primarily be about the Obamas' fashion sense, as well as Barack Obama's commitment to being a healthy president.

I'm so disgusted by Madonna's most recent photographs and now her new album cover. I just had to tell you that, but nothing more will be said.

Britney is now having to rename one of her singles from her latest album, Circus. The song is called If You Seek Amy.

One of the lines in the song goes, "All the boys and the girls are begging to If You Seek Amy."

After realizing the real meaning of the song, several US radio stations have threatened to ban the single.

So, in an attempt to secure radio play for the song, Britney's camp has decided to change it up. But, rather than re-write the lyrics they've opted to only drop the "k" from seek.

It will now be called If You See Amy.

Stupid people. Why can you have a song all over the radio sung by a girl about kissing a girl and yet you're forcing Britney Spears to change the name of a song simply because of its suggestions. Stupid.

Last night, Michelle Obama and Jill Biden hosted the Disney Channel special "Kids' Inaugural: We Are the Future," and Disney's biggest stars came out to perform and rally America's youth on the eve of inauguration.

The night's opening act was "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus, who performed a song in a patriotic long red dress. The star returned to the stage for two more songs and greeted a special fan, Malia Obama, when she went into the crowd and grabbed the young girl's hand.

Paris Hilton sounded off to Fabulous Magazine about everything from chocolate to the color pink, and of course, that other super-important issue, who she'd pick as her "dream" best friend. Not surprisingly, the heiress chose Angelina Jolie because:

"She's strong but gorgeous and uses her fame for good to make a big difference in the world. That's a great quality. I'd have a lot in common with her."

Uh. No.

Alan Cumming, Eliza Dushku, Roman Diaz, Ralph Macchio and others were on hand to honor Ewan McGregor at the 2009 Ray-Ban Visionary Award in Park City, Utah, at ASCAP Music Cafe.

McGregor who has not returned to Sundance since 1996 when his breakthrough roll in Trainspotting premiered at the festival expressed, how "great it is to see how many people are able to support film and that filmmaking is a worldly platform for Ray-Ban to show its support means a lot to the industry."
