Michelle Obama Responds to Backlash Over Her Oscars Appearance: "Not Surprising"

Mobama is on to the haters. After Michelle Obama's surprise appearance (via satellite) at the tail end of last Sunday's Academy Awards was met with bemusement, confusion and, in some corners, criticism, the First Lady tells the Associated Press she's "absolutely not surprised."

"Shoot, my bangs set off a national conversation," President Barack Obama's wife, 49, said of the morning-after hubbub. The First Lady appeared in the White House, decked out in a Naeem Khan gown, with servicemen and women behind her, to present the Best Picture winner (Argo) at the conclusion of the Oscars Feb. 24. (Part of the complaint: Best Picture Director Ben Affleck -- not to mention nominee Steven Spielberg, performer Barbra Streisand and scores of other stars present during the ceremony -- are lifelong Democrats and vocal Obama supporters.)

"My shoes can set off a national conversation. That's just sort of where we are. We've got a lot of talking going on," Mrs. Obama said during a Thursday, Feb. 28 appearance in Chicago of the omnipresent Twitterverse and blogosphere. "It's like everybody's kitchen-table conversation is now accessible to everybody else so there's a national conversation about anything."

The mom to Sasha, 11, and Malia, 14, explained that her Oscars appearance fit in with one of her missions as First Lady: The support the arts. Indeed, she recently hosted the director and cast of Oscar-nominated film Beasts of the Southern Wild to the White House for a Q&A session with students.

"I just don't think about that stuff," she said of the criticism. Obama was in her hometown as to mark the third anniversary of her "Let's Move" campaign against childhood obesity.

Kardashian, 28, donned the dress at Elton John's annual Oscars viewing party in West Hollywood on Sunday, Feb. 24.

"It truly was the ultimate people watching experience."

Lamar Odom's wife wore her highlighted brown hair down in loose waves and completed her look with a coral lip. Hough showed off her fit figure in the citrine silk crepe column dress to the Rock of Ages premiere in Hollywood on June 8, 2012.

Unlike Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest's girlfriend wore her blonde locks in a messy topknot and added an orange-red lip. She styled the look with Stephen Webster jewels.

The new track will appear on Morrison's upcoming album, which is under Levine's label, 222 Records.

"Starting my own label has been a long time goal of mine and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening," the "Moves Like Jagger" singer said in a statement earlier this month. "I am excited for everyone to hear Matthew's forthcoming album. Great things are in store for him with this release."

And Morrison, who previously released a self-titled album in May 2011 with Mercury Records, was happy to sign on. "Adam and I share the same vision as we begin working on my record together," he said in a statement.



The two hunks have been pals for a few years. "Matthew wanted to make a Broadway standards record," the source tells Us of Morrison, who starred in many Broadway shows before landing Glee. "And Adam loves classic records."

Working with a wedding planner, the twosome are looking ahead to a summertime wedding, Ferguson told Us -- based in the Big Apple. "We wanted to get married in New York, because that's where it's legal, so we want to support the state that's in support of us," the Emmy nominee explained.

The vows and bash will take place in a "beautiful loft space," he added. "It's so nice -- I can't wait to see it all done." The guest list is "around the 200 mark -- which to me seems big -- but people are telling me it's not that bad."

One wedding tradition the couple aren't partaking in: A wedding party. "We aren't doing that," he said at the TieTheKnot bash. (The future spouses co-designed a "TieTheKnot" bowtie collection, with all proceeds going towards groups focused on LGBT rights.)

"He means a lot to me," Ferguson said of his man. "So it's really special."
