Oprah had a chance to go up to the White House and talk to Michelle Obama for the upcoming edition of ‘O Magazine’

Our new First Lady on the surprises of life in the White House (”If you want pie, there’s pie! If something breaks, it’s fixed. In an hour”)…the rules she’s laid down for Malia and Sasha (”I want the kids to be treated like children, not little princesses”)…and how she hopes to use “one of the best jobs in the world” to help women transform their lives. Here’s a sneak peek…

For all the majesty of the White House, the First Lady has already infused it with a palpable ease; her presence makes the place feel open and approachable. When we sit down to talk, she seems as relaxed as she did when I first interviewed her and her husband in their Chicago apartment in 2004. “This room has the best light in the house,” she tells me as we settle in, shoes off, on a comfortable sofa. “And there’s pie here, too. The pie in the White House is dangerously good.” — Oprah

Oprah: So after the inauguration, what was your first weekend in the White House like?

Michelle Obama: Well, we still had family here, so it was almost like a wedding. A huge, very complicated wedding. The last visitors didn’t leave until Sunday. And then the first Monday was kind of weird. You know: Now we live here, and Barack is getting up and going to work, and it’s just us. This is our home now.

Oprah: I had heart palpitations coming through the White House gate, recognizing that this really is now your home. It’s the White House, and it’s your home.

Michelle Obama: And it’s a beautiful home. When you go out and come back, especially at night, with all the white lights on–it’s just beautiful. We feel privileged, and we feel a responsibility to make it feel like the people’s house. We have the good fortune of being able to sleep here, but this house belongs to America.

I can’t even imagine walking up into the White House and having black kids running around in “their” house.  It’s crazy.

President Obama and Oprah had a secret dinner with special invited guests that took place on Monday at the Blair House.  The band that performed for them was a Chicago Group – The Band of Paquito D’Rivera- led by Mark Walker

Walker said Michelle Obama was already at the party when the band arrived. Winfrey walked in solo, and Barack Obama followed shortly after as the band was playing Miles Davis — an Obama favorite.

“You know, I’m a big Miles Davis fan,” the drummer said Obama told him. “You did your homework.”

“[Winfrey] came in, noticed we were playing and gave us a thumbs up,” Walker said. Later, the Chicago talk show host posed for a picture with the band.

Walker said guests sat at five round tables and feasted on ribs, sweet potatoes, fried chicken, salmon, macaroni and cheese, pie, ice cream and brownies. They also drank Pinot Nior from California, he said.

Winfrey — who sat two seats away from Obama and across from his wife, Michelle– looked great, Walker said.

“They were talking the whole time, having a good time,” Walker said. “I had read somewhere that [Winfrey] was down on herself, but I thought she looked great.”

Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall at that dinner.

In an obvious retaliation towards a track from Lil Wayne “Louisanimal” 50 cent took the gloves off and came hard in his new dis record Play This On The Radio.

“I’m on your heels, Mr. Carter. I heard you. You want me to ‘die ugly?’ OK. Don’t end up on the list, n—a. Be a missing person like Cam’ron, like Ja [Rule], like [Fat] Joe. Who wants some?”

50 called Dj Whoo Kid’s satellite radio show on Saturday and said that the beginning of the track was aimed at Kanye and the last part was for Lil Wayne.

“If he says something back, I’m gonna drop the bomb on his a–,” 50 warned. “It’s gonna be hard for me to get off him. He’s a talented artist,” Fif continued, “but if you put him in a space when we’re in direct competition, my consistency will break his neck.”

Man I was wondering when 50 was going to start something with Lil Wayne.  I was getting tired of the Kanye sh*t.  And besides wasn’t everyone else tired of everybody in rap being so damn nice to each other.
