The 21-year-old daughter of former 2008 Vice President candidate Sarah Palin, wrote a blog post that read in part, “Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.”

One reality star that was none too thrilled with Bristol’s blast was Jersey Shore girl Jenni “JWoww” Farley, who tweeted back in rebuttal:

“Bristol should keep her uneducated ignorant mouth shut. If Ur living in the past u wouldn’t have a kid w/out marriage #hypocrite. It’s 2012!”

Bristol welcomed her first child with then-boyfriend Levi Johnston at the age of 17. They were not married and the two later split. Johnston has since gotten another girl pregnant, and plans to name their child Breeze Bereta, after his favorite gun.

JWoww, 26, added of the gay marriage isssue: “My best friend will get married one day and not just have civil union with his man. Stop hating people.”

Whose side are you on: Bristol or JWoww’s? Let us know, below.

In a blog post, the 21-year-old single mother said, “we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.” Bristol, who is the daughter of former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, had a son at the age of 17, with her then-boyfriend Levi Johnston. The two had a very rocky relationship, but ultimately broke up after trying to make things work, and the two do not parent their 3-year-old son Tripp together.

Celebuzz took the debate to our Facebook page, where some agreed with her viewpoints, but many called Bristol out on the idea of a child growing up in a two parent home, when she is a single mother herself.

Joey W. III said: The girl who had a child out of wedlock? Glass houses …

Lisa Burnett R. said: HER kid doesn’t live in a mother/father home. I am so sick of hypocrites.

Bridgette L. said: if kids do better in a home with a mother and father then shes saying her kid is screwed cus her baby daddy dont want nothing to do with her! Raising kids isnt about a mommy and daddy its about ppl who love that child no matter what gender!!!! Marriage equality for all!!!!!!!!

Fiona T. said: Cannot believe a 21 year old woman thinks like that in this day and age. What a horror.

Colleen L. said: kids r better with parents who love them and it doesnt matter if its 2 mums, 2 dads or a mum and a dad as long as they get love x

Niki G. said: wow, because she is so high and mighty getting knocked up outside of wedlock and getting divorced at her age. Hypocrite indeed. (btw, i have nothing against anyone having children outside of wedlock, but it’s people like her I do have a problem with)

Chrisii A. said: honestly i agree with her but dude someone else should’ve said it like someone who didn’t have a child out of wedlock this just makes her look hypocritical

Dana S. said: I honestly don’t get why people have such a problem with this. Children should be in a loving home wether its Man and man, Woman and Woman, or Man and woman. Regardless of the gender of both parents, the right way to raise a child is to give it love and care.

Heather Marie B. said: i may not have voted for obama but i do agree with that. you know same sex marriages can be just as great of bein parents an non same sex marriages. an its good to see a lot of ppl on here not to stick up for her. she does have room to talk!

What do you think? Keep the debate going in the comments!

The 21-year-old daughter of former Vice President candidate Sarah Palin, wrote a blog post about her thoughts on Obama’s decision to finally admit that he does in fact support marriage equality, and didn’t exactly agree with him. In the interview with ABC News where Obama finally revealed his support, he said one of his biggest influences was not only his wife Michelle, but his daughters Sasha and Malia, who didn’t understand why some of their friends’ parents couldn’t marry.

It seems as though Bristol had a problem with that sentiment, as she blogged:

“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview. In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.

Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.”

Bass, who came out of the closet in 2006, spoke to Celebuzz about the big interview Wednesday night at the premiere of Mansome in Los Angeles, and praised his decision to “finally” come out and say it.

“I mean, he’s always supported gay marriage,” Bass said in our exclusive video interview. “I guess he just finally said it. We’re not all stupid; we all knew he supported it.”

“It’s great that he can finally say it,” he added. “It sucks that politics holds politicians back from saying the right thing and the thing that they truly believe in. But that’s just the world we live in.”

On Wednesday, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, Obama revealed that his opinions on same-sex marriage had evolved over the last several years, to the point where he now fully supports the controversial social issue.

“At a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married,” he said.

Now, with the President’s backing, Bass, 33, hopes that America’s opinion on the issue will evolve, as well.

“It’s nice to finally have his words behind our fight, and hopefully it’ll start changing some people’s minds,” he said.

Lance has been linked to a number of men over the years, including reality TV’s Reichen Lehmkuhl.

Mansome, from Super Size Me director Morgan Spurlock, hits theaters on May 18.

The Commander in Chief told ABC News on Wednesday, May 9, that he was in full support of gay and lesbian couples to marry. He said, “I’ve just concluded for me personally, it is important for me to affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

Well, celebs could not be more thrilled with this development, and many took to their Twitters to express their joy over the news.

]]> Looks like President Barack Obama still isn’t Kanye West‘s biggest fan.

Back in 2009, after the infamous Kanye/Taylor Swift MTV Video Music Awards incident, our Commander-in-chief referred to the “Theraflu” rapper as a “jackass,” and a few years later, his view still hasn’t changed. In the latest issue of The Atlantic, the president mentions that he actually prefers Jay-Z‘s music over Kanye’s but does mention: “I like Kanye. He’s a Chicago guy. Smart. He’s very talented.”

However, Obama still holds on to his belief that the 34-year-old rap superstar is a “jackass.”

The Atlantic reporter recalled that “when the interview reminded Obama of his comment from 2009, he replied, ‘He is a jackass. . . But he’s talented.’”

We wonder what Kanye’s pal Kim Kardashian would think about these comments?

What do you think about the president’s remarks? Are you team Kanye, or team Barack? Sound off in the comments!

Obama isn’t the only one talking about Kanye: Khloe Kardashian addressed the Kimye rumors on Ellen!

We caught up with executive producer/writer Dan Goor and producer/director Dean Holland during Paleyfest at Beverly Hills’ Saban Theater on Tuesday night, and when we asked them about Obama possibly doing a cameo (since his daughter Malia is such a big fan), they revealed that they already had a role in mind for the Commander-in-Chief.

“If [Obama] wants to be the mayor, we will cast him as the mayor. But he has to work around our schedule,” Goor joked. He added, ”That was insanely cool. It was great. Any time we hear someone likes the show, it warms our heart. I mean we really try to make this show for the fans, and the fan response has been great. So to hear someone from the first family is a fan, it’s great.”

We also chatted with Parks & Rec actor Chris Pratt, who plays the loveably goofy Andy Dwyer, and he opened up a bit about how his usually complacent TV wife (Aubrey Plaza) showed some initiative in a recent episode by completing an assigned task. Does this mean more (gasp!) responsibilities for April?

“One thing that’s really nice about our writers is that when there’s a slight adjustment in the character where they learn a lesson or they change a little bit, they sort of set that in the ether as a rule they’re not going to break. So if they’re saying she is going to take on more responsibility, she will, and if she doesn’t, there will be consequences. They’re really setting up a true arc in this sort of ‘real world,’ even though it’s not real. It’s real to us and to our fans, they root it all in this reality, so yes, I think she’ll be taking on more responsibility.”

We also asked Parks & Rec star Retta (who plays sass-master Donna) her thoughts on the Obama’s shout out to the Parks Department:

“He gave Aziz [Ansari] a shout out. [Laughs]. It was pretty funny that he was calling out Aziz, saying he had more Twitter followers. I was like, really? We know you’re the man!”

Looks like Aziz needs to make this presidential cameo happen!

What do you guys think? Should Obama make a trip to Pawnee? Let us know in the comments, and make sure to tune into Parks & Rec Thursdays on NBC!

Celebuzz caught up with Amy during Paleyfest at Beverly Hills’ Saban Theater on Tuesday night, and chatted with her not only about the president’s recent Parks & Rec shoutout, but all those Tumblr-loving P&R fans out there.

So, what did the hilarious actress have to say when we asked her about an Obama cameo?

“Well his daughter Malia I guess is a big fan. We’ll just have to ask Aziz [Ansari], he has all the hookups.”

Besides her fans in D.C., Amy is also thrilled about all the different Parks & Rec related Tumblrs that have emerged, and when we mentioned one dedicated to Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) in a Letter to Cleo shirt, Amy said, “Oh my god. Tumblr must love Ben Wyatt. I get it Tumblr.”

But that wouldn’t be the only P&R dedicated site out there! From Tom Haverfoods, Park-Z and Kanye-action, Clear Eyes, Full Parks, Can’t Lose and another number of viral websites, we got Amy’s thoughts on the most impressive ones she has seen:

“I get a little nervous about looking at stuff on the Internet, so I have people send me good things, because you can always stumble across things that you don’t want to see. Although am I wrong at thinking Tumblr is mostly positive? I bet there’s an I hate Amy Poehler Tumblr out there. [Laughs].”

Never!

“But there’s been times where people have sent videos that they made, like montages of our scenes to music.”

And as for Amy’s thoughts on animated GIFs? “That’s how you say it!” Glad we could clear things up!

Kim beat out other celebrities like Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga and even President Barack Obama to take home the title of the #1 Most Searched Topic of 2010.

The Searched One took to her official blog to thank fans, supporters and even the random curious searchers who have entered her name in Bing’s search box.

“It’s just crazy to me to think that people search for me on Bing more than they search for any other person,” Kim wrote.

Check out Bing’s list of the Most Searched People of 2010 and share your thoughts in the comments.

The Jersey Shore firebrand has lashed out at United States President Barack Obama, calling him a liar for claiming that he’d never heard of her during a recent appearance on The View. As evidence, the Snookster (real name: Nicole Polizzi) cites the fact that Obama cracked wise about her and her JS co-stars at this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner, joking,

“The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill. Snooki, JWoww, The Situation, and House Minority Leader John Boehner.”

At Friday’s Television Critics Association convention at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Snooki told E! Online,

“I know he knows who I am. Why did he have to lie and say he didn’t know me? He did say Snooki and JWoww about the tanning stuff and now he doesn’t know who I am? He has to stop lying.”

During his appearance on The View late last month, when asked if the reality-TV guidette should run for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska—a position once held by his former political opponent, Sarah Palin—Obama replied,

“I have to admit, I don’t know who Snooki is.”

View the damning evidence of Obama’s contradictory quotes in the videos below:

Paging Woodward and Bernstein; it might be time to launch an investigation into what the President knows about Snooki, and when he knew it.

The Chief Executive faced off against Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and the gang on Wednesday, displaying his knowledge—or lack of knowledge—on the recent goings-on in Celebrity-Land. Asked if the thought that Mel Gibson—who’s had a few not-so-nice things to say about minorities in recent weeks—needs anger-management training, Obama remained diplomatic, hedging,

“I’d like to go back to the Afghanistan question…Look, I haven’t seen a Mel Gibson movie in a while.”

Behar also asked the President if Jersey Shore charmer Snooki should run for Mayor of Wasilla—a position once held by his former political opponent, Sarah Palin. Obama’s answer?

“I’ve got to admit, I don’t know who Snooki is.”

Guess we won’t see a Secretary of GTL position being added to the Cabinet anytime soon. Check out video of Obama’s appearance on The View below:

The “Best I Ever Had” rapper recently expressed a desire to play President Barack Obama to Paper magazine (via Starpulse):

I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice.

The Canadian star has the acting chops to portray Obama: He rose to fame playing wheelchair-bound jock Jimmy in the Canadian teen drama Degrassi:The Next Generation. However, Drake may have to shed a few pounds before he starts going after Obama roles — not because the rapper is overweight by any means, but because of Obama’s extra-slim figure.

During his speech, President Barack Obama name-dropped some of the Jersey Shore cast:

The following individuals shall be excluded from the indoor tanning tax within this bill: Snooki, JWOWW, The Situation and House minority leader John Boehner.

At least one cast members was happy to know that the most powerful man in the world knows her name: JWoWW.

A source close to JWoWW said she thought the speech was “hilarious” and thinks that “even though it’s a joke [she] thinks it’s a great honor to get recognized by him.”

Well, it is nice to know that one of the cast mates realizes that getting mentioned by Obama in a speech is a BFD.

One sources tells PopEater that Angie snubbed this weekend’s star-studded White House Correspondents Dinner because she would “rather spend her time helping those who really need it rather than sitting, drinking champagne and laughing at bad jokes in a fancy DC ballroom.” Yeah, that sounds rough.

Angelina is currently in Venice filming The Tourist with Johnny Depp, but the source says that the film wasn’t the reason she attended that that she “always refuses” attending the event.

The source continues, “Angie doesn’t judge other celebrities for wanting to rub shoulders with President Obama [...] It’s just she is just someone who thinks your actions are more important than words.”

While we can understand that Angie may not want to attend the event because she would rather be spending her time helping people, we don’t remember hearing anything about her, say, flying to the Gulf Coast this weekend to help clean up the oil spill or anything.

Then again, maybe Angie was just tired from filming and wanted to spend some time with her kids instead of flying to DC.

The dinner is famous for having a heavy mix of celebrities, politicos (including the President), and reporters. It’s where entertainment, media and politics meet and some people take it very seriously!

Usually, media outlets will buy tables and invite certain celebrities to come as their guests.

Jersey Shore‘s The Situation told political website Politico that he would like to attend as someone’s date so he could meet Obama, but alas he never received an invitation. We guess good abs and minor fame can’t always get you a date.

We think Obama is definitely missing out on getting The Situation experience. Doesn’t he want to connect with today’s youth?

As has happened in the past, Time has opened up the selection process to you, the public, to help the magazine separate the wheat from the chaff.

Currently, Time has collected a list of 200 top influencers that the public can rank on their website.

Time‘s list pits such world leaders as President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi against such celebrities as Robert Pattinson (currently in first place, obviously), Taylor Swift and Lady GaGa.

(Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber are all suspiciously left off the list.)

The list does contain some head-scratching choices, leading us to believe that the Time staff just did a quick browse of some blogs and decided that these people would make the magazine seem super relevant and “hip.” Even though we love them we don’t think we would consider Snooki or Glee‘s Lea Michele to be influential world leaders.

You can view the full list of names and rank your favorite influencers at Time‘s website.

In April of 2009, the French man hacked into both Twitter accounts by guessing the “secret” question that companies will often use to retrieve passwords for users.

The man could face up to two years in prison and a fine up to $40,000.

The man didn’t post any tweets under the accounts but took screenshots of the accounts to prove that he had successfully hacked into the accounts. Apparently, he just hacked into them to “prove he was capable” of hacking.

Dude, what is even the point of hacking into two of the world’s most powerful tweeters (yes, you heard that right) if you aren’t going to post a tweet under their name? Imagine how funny your geeky internet pals would have found it if you tweeted “b00bz b00bz b00bz!!!1!” from a famous person’s Twitter? This is exactly why the French haven’t won a war since Napoleon.
