Barack Obama drove a car today for the second time since 2007! It was the Chevy Volt, the electronic car that's supposed to save America. Watch him sputter along for 10 feet and signal his approval before the adoring masses.

Montana Fishburne says her forthcoming sex tape is a calculated career choice. Foxy Brown flees the police after a massive brawl. Lindsay Lohan has no pillow. Robert Pattinson is a nail biter. TGIFriday gossip. Updated with Montana's DVD cover.

As you know, President Obama was on The View today (highlights here / BlackBerry and iPhone talk here). Predictably, the right wing media was just OUTRAGED about this. Tonight, Jon Stewart put them all in their place. Video inside.

If you thought Barack Obama would try and get out of pressing the fashion flesh at the fundraiser Vogue editor Anna Wintour hosted for him last night, you're wrong. He supposedly talked to just about every guest at the event.

President Barack Obama appeared on this morning's episode of The View and indulges the ladies in all of the Hot Topics: Shirley Sherrod, our country's racial divide, and why it seems that everyone is losing their job.

Part of the Village is on lockdown ahead of Obama's visit to Anna Wintour's place.

Talk show-lovin' "celebrity" President Obama will be the first sitting US president in history to appear on a daytime talk show when he appears on the ladyklatsch on Thursday. Conservative Jack Russell terrier Hasselbeck readies some well-researched questions and complaints.

Unwatchable MSNBC host Ed Schultz was invited to speak at this year's Netroots Nation conference, to perform his usual rage-baiting schtick of childish insults about "balls." Also: why won't Obama give him an interview? He's not fighting the cause!

The Obamas will spend an August weekend vacationing on the Gulf Coast. Jesus, don't they know how oily it is there? Anyway, this comes before their real vacation to Martha's Vineyard, nicely defusing the inevitable "snobby vacation" criticism. [Image: AP]
