Michelle Covers Time Magazine

“It has been the greatest single benefit of this for us as a family. It means that we see each other every day. And that hasn’t happened for most of the kids’ lifetime.”It’s rare [for most families] to have dad at home for dinner, to see him in the mornings, to have him there when you go to bed at night, just to be able to have the casual conversations that happen about life at dinnertime,” says Mrs. Obama. “That’s been terrific. It’s normal. It’s more normal than we’ve had for a very long time.

“We stay 100 percent in their world all the time. And I don’t know if you understand that, but their lives are very disconnected from this [place]. You can do that with kids when they are young, because they just don’t care.”

Beyonce's Mirror Anti-Diva Interview

Now you’re on tour, you must have no time to have a normal life…
Oh, I do. And I’m fortunate to have my family with me. I can get lonely going to these foreign places, but when I see my family it doesn’t seem so bad because they are my home. And we get on really well. My mother Tina and I work really well together [on their House of Deréon fashion designs]. Now my father Mathew [her manager], on the other hand, we disagree a lot more [laughs]. But it’s usually business.
Do you drag Jay-Z around as well?
I don’t have to drag him! He comes willingly. And I go willingly. He’s part of the family posse, of course. I definitely make time for my life, it’s the most important thing. The music and all that is very important, but I have to have inspiration.

You’ve got your own fashion label and you always look amazing. Would you say you are fashion obsessed?
I don’t know if I’m fashion obsessed. I think when I’m working, yes, but when I’m at home I usually wear the same thing every day. I have my straight-leg jeans and a pair of Christian Louboutins and a little jacket and a white shirt. I get sent about 15 designer bags a month. I can only imagine how much they cost. Even I wouldn’t buy some of them.
Do you have any regrets?
There were certain moments when I was 18 and I’d look out of the window to see girls going to parties with their boyfriends and think, ‘How am I ever going to meet anybody?’ I couldn’t just go on a date, and nobody was going to ask me out. I was working too hard and not exposed to people my own age. But now I’m in such a great place and I’m happy that I’ve found the person I’ve found. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Tyra Banks Fires Paulina Porizkova On Her Birthday!!

STORY READS AS: Tyra Banks has fired Paulina Porizkova from "America's Next Top Model." The retired catwalker said she was let go last month because there were too many cooks in the kitchen. "Do you know why I'm in Los Angeles?" she asked Craig Ferguson during a visit to his "Late Late Show" Tuesday night. "... Because I'm looking for a job, because I was fired by 'America's Next Top Model' -- on my birthday." The former model said she was told the show "needed to cut some fat, and the fat was me. …It could have been either that or my gigantic, huge ego, which I wasn't aware of before I was told by the producers that I had an ego problem." When Ferguson asked if her pink slip was due to a rivalry with Banks, she said, "I really believe they just felt like they didn't need me, which of course they don't. So that's OK."
