One of the things that Michelle Obama wanted to do once she got to the White House was to provide an example to the American people that having a garden which you could use to help feed your family was a good thing.

To that end First Lady Obama and the Head White House Chef Sam Kass have just released a follow-up video showing how well the Victory Garden at the White House is doing. As well as showing its progress the video also provides some interesting historical reference points about the garden. The last garden of this type was during the Second World War and was more for show than anything else as it really didn’t provide any amount of food.

This time around however the garden has produced some 200 pounds of food that is used daily in the meals at the White House. As well the seeds used for the garden came from Peter Hatch, head gardener at Monticello.

Think that Jessica Simpson overshared as she professed her undying love for Tony Romo? That People interview’s nothing when we look at her most recent concert whoopsie: the Niagra Falls Review reports that her concert at the Avalon unraveled into her talking about being gassy:

“Unlike her tour opener in Wisconsin, where she was booed opening for Sara Evans, this crowd was here only for her. And they paid $70 a ticket for the privilege. Armed with that confidence, Simpson opened up about God, divorce and, um, flatulence. ‘I do pass gas a lot,’ she said. ‘I guarantee it smells like roses.’”

This is the sign of someone who thinks they’re too cute. Erm, not so much.
