In what is probably the smartest move of his presidential career, President Obama stepped to the podium at a recent event and immediately addressed some lipstick on his collar before it became an elephant in the room. I’m sure his more personal speech to his wife away from the microphone was just as humorous.

REAL OR FAKE: Kanye West’s Real Album Cover For ‘Yeezus’?
Chances are this is fake, but I figure I’ll entertain the rumor, courtesy of Illseed:
Kanye West just has a flair for staying relevant on a number of fronts. And today is no different. It seems like somebody has leaked an image that could be fan made or Yeezus made. Nevertheless it seems like people are taking to this depiction as Yeezus Christ. Do you think there is a chance in hell that this is real?

Diddy Reportedly Trying To Get Rid Of Properties For “Cheap”
I’m sure you’re wondering why the term “cheap” is in quotations when used in the header…..here’s why:
Sean “Diddy” Combs is trying to unload two of his swanky properties at deep discounts. The rap mogul has cut the price on his Manhattan apartment at the Park Imperial by $600,000, reports The Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil, and slashed the “ask” for his Alpine, NJ, estate by $3.6 million. His 66th floor, West 56th Street apartment is now asking $7.99 million — down from its $8.5 million price tag last year. At 2,292 square feet, the home includes a piano room and wet bar, comes with a marble foyer and has been designed for entertaining, the listing says. Meanwhile, Combs is asking $9.99 million for his Alpine estate, which he tried to sell for $13.5 million in 2006. The manor sits on a hill over three acres. It has a putting green, tennis court and swimming pool, plus seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and an aquarium. “Diddy’s spending more time at his $30 million mansion in Miami, on Star Island. It makes sense for tax reasons,” a source concluded.
