“Beyonce Knowles’ flawless performance of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at the inauguration was entirely lip-synched, Page Six has confirmed. A rep for the United States Marine Band revealed that she decided to perform to a pre-recorded track at the last minute.” [NY Post]
When Shelley Oh! hits it out of the parque, it is great. Jason Wu, who designed her dress for the first inauguration, got the honors again.

The bangs are forgiven. Mostly. More pics after the jump. Dodgerblue better grab a fan, she’s pretty hawt.
God love Bill. Some things never change.

Black Eagle and Schumer are slightly more subtle in checking out Beyonce.

I took the proper stance (one foot in front of the other, not simply standing there) the first time I fired a shotgun and still almost got knocked on my ass (I was 15).

Title: “Beating Obamacare: Your Handbook for the New Healthcare Law”
Author: Betsy McCaughey
Rank: 20
Blurb: “Beating Obamacare is the essential consumer guide to understanding and preparing for one of the biggest changes about to take over Americans’ health care and family budgets.”
Review: “McCaughey is the nation’s expert on the topic.”
Customers Also Bought: “Atlas Shrugged” — both DVDs
Footnote: Sarah Palin gets credit for the line, but it was McCaughey who ginned up an anodyne detail about funding optional end-of-life counseling into mandatory euthanasia advice.
Somehow, this and her past membership on two medical-company boards aren’t included in the book’s publicity.
