Newly Inaugurated: President Barack Obama

It was a long election year and now after much anticipation, the United States has ushered in its 44th president into office. President Barack Obama took to the stage after a rousing performance by legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin and the swearing in of Vice President Joe Biden.

While President Obama was reciting back his statement while being sworn into office, he hesitated over a phrase and to be quite frank, we don't blame him. These are tough times! Obama's going to be working some crazy, long hours, if he wants to get this country back on the right track.

For now, it's time for a celebration over the history that was made today! Sweeping up the confetti can wait until tomorrow morning.

UPDATED WITH BARACK OBAMA'S SPEECH.

JLo & Marc Anthony Focus On Politics, Avoid Marital Discussions

This inauguration has been a wonderful distraction from Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's quickly crumbling marriage. Yeah, we know it's all rumors, but I don't think I've ever seen them be more affectionate in public than they have been lately, which makes me highly suspicious.

Lopez admitted she was starstruck by President Barack Obama. "The night he won the election, you could feel it in the air. I was...watching him with tears in my eyes, thinking, 'Yes. Something is different. Something is happening.' We're very excited."

The high-profile couple have been lending their support (if not their hard-earned cash) to the new president by showing up to one splashy inaugural event after another. Here they are at the Artists and Athletes Alliance Inaugural Honors Service Nation. That's certainly a mouthful. That's what she said!

Featured in the gallery: Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer, Hunter Biden, Judith Light, Alicia Witt, Queen Noor, Joy Bryant, Fran Drescher, David Arquette, Brandon Routh and Jorja Fox.

Stars Shine On Inaugural Stage, Welcoming Our 44th President

But none shone brighter than President Barack Obama and his first lady, Michelle Obama, decked out in her custom-made outfit. It's full-on Obamarama, folks! Oprah Winfrey, the woman behind the man (let's be honest, here) was smiling a big grin. That one's future is so bright, she better be wearing shades, lest she be blinded. She's got enough problems with her thyroid--she needs those eyes!

Beyoncé Knowles looked sleek with her long, glamorous hair, sunglasses and black leather gloves. And holy hell, when did she start dating black, Russian Napoleon Dynamite? I love it! Jay-Z baked her a cake and would like to tell you how he spent his summer with his uncle in Alaska, hunting wolverines.

In an interview before the inauguration, Magic Johnson was asked about Obama's quip that he planned on turning the bowling alley in the White House into a baskeball court and wanted the former Laker legend to come by for a game. The interviewer asked Johnson if he'd go easy on the new president to which Magic responded, "I'll go easy on him if he goes easy on my taxes." Ha! Prepare for an elbow to the gut, Barack!

Featured in the gallery: Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Don King, John McCain, Sean Combs, John Kerry, Magic Johnson, John Cusack, Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael J. Fox, Isaiah Washington, Sarah Silverman, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Alba, Martha Stewart, Ashton Kutcher, Val Kilmer, Jessica Alba, Edward Norton, Rosie Perez, Corbin Bleu, George Lopez, Josh Grobin, David Arquette, Jon Bon Jovi, Forest Whitaker, Adam Levine, Demi Moore, will.i.am, John Legend, MC Hammer, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.

Chris Rock Doesn't Know How To Make Fun Of Obama

Everyone is so thrilled about Barack Obama making his way into the White House, but nobody is thinking about how much it's going to suck for comedians.

Who the hell are they going to write about without good, ol' Dubya to kick around anymore? Obama just doesn't give anyone much material, and even Chris Rock is feeling the squeeze.

In an interview with CNN where he was promoting his new CD "Kill the Messenger" Chris was asked why Obama seemed to get a pass:

"He's just one of those guys, you know, like Will Smith. There's no Will Smith jokes. There's no Brad Pitt jokes. You know, what are you going to say? "Ooh, you used to have sex with Jennifer Aniston. Now you have sex with Angelina Jolie. You're such a loser." What do you say? [With Obama] It's like "Ooh, you're young and virile and you've got a beautiful wife and kids. You're the first African-American president." You know, what do you say?"

Uh. We're with you on Obama (so far) but there's tons of stuff out there on creepy, porn mustached Brad Pitt.
If a Golden Globes after party guest can do it, so can you Chris. Even though it may be just dasterdly to do so.

Oh, and Will Smith gives money to The Church Of Scientology. Bam.

Done and done.

BET Honors: Excitement Over Impending Inauguration

History is being made before our very eyes, people. Yes, yes, of course, our first black president is about to be ushered into office, but that's not what I'm talking about. Did anyone ever believe that one day, we would see...Whitney Houston looking as fabulous and lucid as she does in this picture?

But seriously, President Elect Barack Obama was the hot topic of conversation at the BET Honors Second Annual Black Entertainment Awards. Big winners of the evening included athlete turned business mogul Magic Johnson and singer Mary J. Blige.

Playing hostess for the evening was the lovely Gabrielle Union, who looked glam in a simple black dress and cape. And whoah, Monica looks rather intense these days.

Featured in the gallery: Whitney Houston, Gabrielle Union, Queen Latifah, Star Jones, MC Lyte, Janice Bryant, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Hill Harper, Monica, Magic Johnson, Tyler Perry, B. Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Angela Bassett, Anthony Hamilton, Joss Stone, Terrence Howard and Stevie Wonder.

Brad Pitt On Barack Obama

Uh, what in the Amber Von Tussle's mother hell has Angelina Jolie done with her salad? Holy shite, that is some 60s cocktail party bullshit right there! Is she daring Kate Winslet to say something else? But watch, you're going to see several Brad Pitt and Angie addicts getting their hair did like that. Here they are at the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button in their current homeland of Berlin, Germany.

Ugly Brad's all about Barack Obama and is ecstatic that it's a whole new era in the United States.

"It's a new era for us - it reconfirms the original ideals of America. We're very excited about what the future holds. You see people look invigorated at home rather than the cynicism for the last 10 years," Brad says.

"I've been filming here the last few months and the Americans who were here during the night of the election were congratulated by all Europeans on the set," he said. "I thought that was really interesting. It's a big day for us."

It's apparently also a big day for Angie's head. Yikes.

Obama Celebrated At Star-Studded 'We Are One' Concert

Washington D.C. morphed into Hollywood yesterday for the We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial. Stars everywhere helped kick off Barack Obama's inauguration and rallied the crowds with a series of speeches and performances.

Denzel Washington gave the introductory speech, Laura Linney spoke about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Marin Luther King III quoted from John F. Kennedy. Queen Latifah also spoke saying: "We're celebrating not just the Inauguration of a new president, but the journey of America continuing to be America."

However, probably most inspiring were the musical performances.

Bruce Springstreen sang the post-911 anthem "The Rising" Mary J. Blige sang "Lean On Me" while Sheryl Crow and Will.I.Am united for Bob Marley's "One Love.

The most anticipated of all the performances was when U2 performed "Pride (In the Name of Love)" and "City of Blinding Lights."

Beyonce was the glittery, grande finale, singing "America the Beautiful."
Below is Beyonce's performance of "America the Beautiful."

Featured in the gallery: Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Josh Grobin, Heather Headley, Beyonce, Sheryl Crow, will.i.am, Bruce Springsteen, Malia Obama, Tiger Woods, Bono, John Legend, James Talyor, Jennifer Nettles, Shakira, Usher, Denzel Washington, John Mellencamp, Joe Biden, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder, Ashley Judd, Garth Brooks, Sasha Obama, Jon Bon Jovi, Bettye LaVette, Jack Black, Jamie Foxx, Marisa Tomei, Samuel L. Jackson, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, George Lopez, Forrest Whittaker, Kal Penn and John Kerry.

Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt Embrace Barack Obama

Career opportunists, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have suddenly embraced Barack Obama. What better way for them to share this news with the world than a staged photo op.

The nauseating couple went for a bicycle ride near their Los Angeles home proudly sporting shirts in support of President Elect Obama. The famous couple had previously supported John McCain in his bid for Presidential election but have now embraced the future President of The United States.

Until they have foursome with the Obama's, I'm not buying it.

Beyonce To Serenade Barack And Michelle Obama

Well, Beyonce made sure she'd be in the middle of history. Wait, before we get to the actual story part of this post, let's tackle what she's got on. This is what B-Day wore to the NYC premiere of the Biggie biopic, Notorious. What do you think? I think that she's trying to be edgy but it just looks like she wrapped some fabric around herself. This is so phoned in. And the color..peas....FAIL.

Anyway, she could care less what we think about her. She's gotten the honor of singing the song that Barack and Michelle Obama will have their first dance to on Inauguration Night - "At Last," by Etta James. Why not have Etta sing it. She's alive, isn't she?

"I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady," she says in a statement. "To sing "At Last'" while they have their first dance is a dream come true," she says. "I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history."

Just don't wear whoever put you in that mess. And don't go the camel toe bodysuit route. You looked good here. Stick with that.

Anne Hathaway Exploring Other Job Opportunities

So Anne Hathaway is sucking up to the Obama administration so the FBI will overlook anything she might have had to do with her ex-beard getting pinched for impersonating the Vatican and bilking people out of money. She says that she wants to be First Babysitter. Christ, why not just volunteer to be First Hooker? Cheesy.

"I would want to be head babysitter," she said. "I'd love to be First Babysitter, absolutely."

The Bride Wars star (seen here at a photocall with co-star Kate Hudson in Berlin) says that she would put on "performances" for Barack and Michelle Obama's daughters - Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. Uh...

"I'll just go up and do performances for his kids all day and just keep them entertained," Hathaway said. "They seem like really sweet girls. They seem very well mannered. So I would be First Entertainer."

There is no way Malia and Sasha want some freaky white girl acting crazy up in their bedroom. "Mommy, why is there some crying creepy lady trying to put on a puppet show in our playroom? I'm trying to watch the Jonas Brothers."
