There's so much we love about this picture of Jake Gyllenhaal with Elmo, we sort of don't know where to begin.

He's just one of the many stars that are showing up at Sesame Street for the show's 40th (!) anniversary.

Cameron Diaz, Adam Sandler, Eva Longoria, Ricky Gervais, Paul Rudd, Hugh Jackman, Christina Applegate, and others are all scheduled to appear.  And of course, Michelle Obama already made her appearance earlier this season.

Talk about a powerhouse duo!

Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey arrived in Copenhagen on Wednesday to support Chicago for the 2016 Olympic Games.

The First Lady said:

"So happy to be here and I'm so excited. We have a lot of work to do. We're not taking anything for granted. I'm going to talk to some voters. Chicago is a wonderful host city, great people, great facilities. It knows about the sports and the hospitality is like no other and a city that works really well."

If you could switch places with anyone for a week, who would you pick? If you said George Clooney or Michelle Obama, then you're in good company, according to a new poll.

If you needed further proof that our president is a black man with style, this year’s White House Easter festivities included way more than the traditional lawn egg roll.

There was a double-dutch performance, a step team and music by both Ziggy Marley and Fergie.

Ziggy?

At the White House?

Hell yeah, Obama inhaled. And that’s why he’s bitchin’.

Fergie was actually invited by the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia, who requested her song “Glamorous.”

Yesterday was “Take Your Child to Work Day” and that included at the White House.

Michelle Obama spoke to a group of about 100 children of White House staffers, all of whom were brimming with questions about the new First Dog.

“He likes to play a lot,” Michelle said of Bo, the First Family’s newly acquired 6-month-old Portuguese Water Dog.

“He’s kind of crazy, but he’s still a puppy. He loves to chew on people’s feet.”

Like most men, he’s also very good at playing with himself.

The Obama’s new Portuguese water dog arrived earlier than expected, on Sunday, just in time for Easter.

The adorable pooch was promised to Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, by their parents as a token of gratitude for how well they handled the campaign trail.

The girls decided to name the dog Bo because their cousins have a cat named Bo and because Michelle Obama’s father was nicknamed Diddley, as in Bo Diddley.

Celebrities including Richard Dreyfuss, Cyndi Lauper and Spike Lee have descended on Denver, Colorado to show their support for Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama. 

Spike was working an Obama hat AND a t-shirt while Cyndi showed her love for Obama's wife Michelle and Richard tried to keep a low profile during speeches by Bill Clinton and Joe Biden (with a special appearance by Obama).

This is it!

The New Yorker’s latest cover features Barack Obama and wife Michelle as flag-burning, fist-bumping, Osama Bin Laden loving terrorists.

The fist bumping we recognize and encourage, but the rest is a testament to bad taste on a level we’ve never seen before.

Bosses at The New Yorker say the cover “satirizes the use of scare tactics and misinformation in the Presidential election to derail Barack Obama’s campaign,” but Obama’s campaign is calling it bulls--t.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
