In an interview with iVillage, Michelle Obama revealed that her husband does not approve of their daughters watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Yes, The Kardashians are banned in the White House.

Joe Biden probably gets really annoyed having to type in the parental control code every time he wants to watch E!

"Barack really thinks some of the Kardashians - when they watch that stuff - he doesn't like that as much," Obama revealed. "But I sort of feel like if we're talking about it, and I'm more concerned with how they take it in - what did you learn when you watched that?

Donald Trump finally said it. He decided not to run for president because he wanted to do The Apprentice.

Lupe, you know what they did to John Lennon, right?
