President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama handed out treats this past snowy Saturday to the kids of a local elementary school.

He told her to maybe add “a couple of Reese’s Pieces or something.” I’m sure going trick or treating at the president’s house is a treat in itself! Check out the event here!

Last night in New York at his last show for his tour Cole World, J. Cole premiered his heartfelt video made in 2008 for all of his fans to see. "Lost Ones" has been rated one of his top songs by both fans and critics! The song touches on bringing a child into this world when you know you can't provide for them. However, on the other side the mother wants to bring them into this world, as a child is a blessing. This scenario is very real and an ever increasing dilemma among many young adults! In the beginning of the video he states a personal quote:

"With just a Dollar and a Dream, this video was shot in 2008 before I even had a record deal. 3 years later, watching it still gives me the same emotions. This is dedicated to the Lost Ones." - Jermaine Cole

Über Goodies: Newcomer Bridget Kelly Captures Attention With 'Seek & Destroy'

25 year-old pop and R&B signee from RocNation Bridget Kelly has released her new song “Seek & Destroy.” The song,in a very blunt manner, expresses the thoughts of a woman warning a man to not mess up a good thing!
