Sadie is an 11-year-old kid who loves reading, swimming, texting her friends, and Justin Bieber. Oh, and she's also transgender — she socially transitioned from male to female in Kindergarden — and already more comfortable with herself than most adults we know. (Her mother told HuffPo that she introduces herself to…
Rives Miller Grogan is an adult man who likes to clamber for attention by clutching dolls while screaming at groups of people and climbing trees to avoid confrontation. Surprise: he's an anti-abortion activist! Now, he's officially banned from the District of Columbia after scurrying up a 40-foot tree on Inauguration…
It looks to be official—Beyonce did, in fact, lip-sync the "Star Spangled Banner" to a pre-recorded track at Monday's inauguration. Which is obviously unacceptable, because...because...it deprived the people of America of the chance to hear our national anthem belted into a frigid and acoustic-less void and almost…
The sparkly green rocks that hung from Beyonce's earlobes at the inauguration are reportedly worth 1.8 million dollars. Created by jeweler Lorraine Schwartz, who said she, like most people, designs with Beyonce in mind, and knew the earrings would be on display during Queen Bey's big solo.
By now, most of the world has had the pleasure of seeing what will surely go down down as the most epic eye roll in world history. But what did John Boehner say to cause Michelle Obama to throw such record-breaking shade during the post-inauguration luncheon?
Last night the world was treated to a Dancing with the Leaders of the Free World contest, at the Inaugural Ball. These are the results.
Jennifer Hudson in a sleek black gown sings an intense version of Al Green's Let's Stay Together as our first couple sweetly sways. It's like a scene from a fairytale! I wish I was sandwiched between them, grooving to the vocal stylings of Ms. Hudson as Michelle Obama strokes my hair and tells me it's all gonna be…
Poor Prince Harry. I had already completely forgotten about when Prince Harry showed his prince hairy that one time, and if he just hadn't mentioned it to this reporter whilst answering questions about his baby-nephew-or-niece-to-be, I would probably have never thought about it again. But, ALAS. Prince hairy. Anyhooz,…
Yahoo! News commissioned actor/known eccentric James Franco to write a poem for President Obama's inauguration because, I don't know, why not? Why not have James Franco write a poem for every occasion? Why not have a James Franco poem for every American? Why not? I mean, why not?
Such a pity — Senator Charles Schumer went on about the dome of the capitol only to have Beyonce sing the Star-Spangled Banner and blow the roof off the joint. And she wasn't even inside! Yes, Bey was the star of the show (other than, you know, the President and Vice President) and deservedly so. Watch how she tears…
C-SPAN caught a tender moment following today's inaugural proceedings when President Barack Obama, like a misty-eyed high school senior, paused upon exiting to take one last look at the crowd. While the audio is a little muffled, you can hear him remark "I want to take a look one more time. I'm not going to see this…
Today, President Barack Obama took a public oath of office and began his second term as President of the United States of America. While the ceremony was by all accounts smaller than the one four years ago, it was still full of tradition, flag-waving, pomp and circumstance. Check out these memorable images from the…
It's kind of incredible that today will mark the first time that a woman delivers a prayer at a presidential inauguration. But Myrlie Evers-Williams, the widow of slain civil rights leader Medgar Evers and a civil rights organizer in her own right, is the perfect woman for the job, especially for an inauguration…
The FLOTUS tweeted a photo of Katy Perry closing out the Kids' Inaugural Concert for military families yesterday. Not gonna lie, really wish I'd been there because you know it was a non-stop dance party. Also, not gonna lie some more, I kinda love Perry's American flag-inspired bustier with built-in pom-pom undies.…
Aretha Franklin wore it back in 2009, so who will take up the crazy hat batton this year? Probably Lady Gaga, I guess, but you never know. Joe Biden might have a wacky hat or two up his sleeve.

There's a rumor spreading around Washington D.C. faster than the latest iteration of flu: Lady Gaga will perform at Tuesday's ball for White House staffers. If you're a White House staffer, you're probably thinking to yourself, "I won't believe this, I can't believe this — life has disappointed me too many times for…
Unless, of course, your name is Jason Wu — and then you have that shit on lock. However, many other designers haven't been so lucky. According the the Washington Post, designing the first lady's first gown is not exactly a one way ticket to International Fame and All the Money junction:
Aretha Franklin on her new version of "My Country 'Tis Of Thee": "Everyone else pre-recorded… That's what I should have done!"
On the Late Show last night, Renée Zellweger told David Letterman all about her D.C. experience on inauguration day: "I had no access, no ticket," she said. "I just hopped on the train."
