Malia Obama Lifts Skirt and Twerks at Lollapalooza

At the Democratic National Convention last week, Michelle Obama gave a speech that many considered to be a perfect summation of her husband’s years in office, an apt assessment of the current state of American politics, and a possible indication that she’ll one day run for office herself.



It was such a solid address that we’re guessing Melania Trump immediately got to work plagiarizing it.



Interestingly, Barack and Michelle’s 18-year-old daughter Malia spent the weekend marking the end of her father’s historic administration in very different, but arguably equally awesome, fashion:



Yes, that’s Malia Obama lifting her skirt and twerking, and yes, we’re reporting this from a bunker miles beneath the Earth’s crust and awaiting the inevitable drone strike.


Malia attended the Lollapalooza festival in her native Chicago over the weekend and we think she may have taken the opportunity to show the world what she plans to do with the rest of her “gap year.”


Primarily, she’ll be majoring in twerk studies with a minor in turnin’ up.


We’d like to be the first to encourage the eldest Obama daughter to keep doing what she’s doing.


After eight years of intense public scrutiny and four years at Harvard looming in the distance, this is a girl who needs to take some time and enjoy being 18 for a while.


Based on the video evidence, she doesn’t need anyone to show her how that’s done:



The footage comes on the heels of reports about Malia drinking and partying on a trip overseas.


So will all of this land her in trouble at home?


Nah. She’s legally a grownup, and they call him No-Drama Obama for a reason.


Besides, there are politicians dealing with far more embarrassing behavior from their family members this week.


Hopefully, when her dad gives her a pass, Malia will hit him with the world’s first non-ironic “Thanks, Obama!”

Farrah Abraham: I"m a BAD Mom!

Well, she finally admitted it. Farrah Abraham is officially a bad mom.


Of course, we think this might be her version of sarcasm.



Farrah posted the above pic to Instagram and Snapchat yesterday along with the following caption:


“Being a #badmom is so hot right now #badmoms which bad mom did I most relate too …. I’m between (Amy & Gwendolyn) Hmmmm shout out to my mom pal @JulieMcAnany for that vodka🍾.”


Um…what?


We get that, in her own confusing way, Farrah is promoting the new comedy Bad Moms, but a lot of her fans seem confused by the message that incompetent parenting is “so hot right now,” like Owen Wilson in Zoolander.


Part of the problem is that it’s an odd sentiment coming from Farrah, who has frequently and recently been accused of being an unfit mother.


Much of the controversy has stemmed from inappropriate photos of Farrah’s daughter Sophia that the Teen Mom star has been sharing on social media in recent weeks.


It seems the 7-year-old is pursuing a career in modeling, and naturally, Farrah is all for it.


Of course, this isn’t the sort of work that’s typical of child models.


Sophia isn’t selling toys or kids’ clothes.


Rather, she’s posing for the kind of photos usually associated with much more grown-up models:



And naturally, Farrah responded to criticism of her daughter by posting more inappropriate photos


So is Farrah, really a bad mom or is she just promoting a new film in her own cheeky fashion (Backdoor Teen Mom pun not intended)?


Why think this may be a case in which both answers are equally true.
