Stunning Look for Michelle Obama

'Tis the season to go glam. First Kate Middleton — known for wearing affordable, accessible brands on the red carpet — turned up the wattage last week with a diamond tiara that also happened to be a royal heirloom (the first time she's worn one since she got married.) Then, on Sunday night, Michelle Obama eschewed her shorts-wearing, J. Crew-loving, sensible first-lady image and swept into the Hollywood-heavy 36th annual Kennedy Center Awards in a spotlight-stealing Grecian gown.

Meet the Most Notorious Womanizers in Sports History

Magic Johnson

Magic’s love life seemed all fun and games as he admitted to having sex with around 300 people per year for a few years. However, his life took a turn in 1991, when he admitted to being infected with HIV.

 

At this point in time he announced he had “lost count” of his number and said he had absolutely no idea which girl that he got it from.

The devastating news forced him to retire his career with the LA Lakers. 21 years later, Magic is still active with his foundation, which attempts to decrease the occurrence of HIV/Aids in vulnerable.

He was able to get married and have a child, neither of which are HIV positive. Overall, Johnson’s reputation went from promiscuous in the 90′s to an honorable role model now.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo’s case is also unique because he only has one child (Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.). The biggest speculation of his case was who was the baby mama?

She wasn’t seen for the first year or so of her child’s birth. The ultimate ruling was that it was a 25-year old student that couldn’t afford her child so she let Ronaldo have custody.

However, there is speculation that Ronaldo was paying her to keep hush about who she was. Besides that, Ronaldo has dated numerous women, including celebrities Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Imogen Thomas.

The Real Madrid star has now settled down and is in a two-year relationship with model Irina Shayk.

A World First – Two Openly Gay Men Will Lead A Country

For the first time in history, a country will have an openly gay man as both its Prime Minister and its Deputy Prime Minister. On Wednesday December 4th, openly gay talk show host, Xavier Bettel (pictured left) was sworn in as the Prime Minister of Luxemburg, while another openly gay man, Etienne Schneider, (pictured right) was made his deputy, making Luxemburg the first county in the world with gay men filling the top two spots in its government

"People do not consider the fact of whether someone is gay or not. Sometimes it’s not easy because you have some conservative persons, but there are always less and less and less. I think people vote for my character and they vote for my full party.” Bettel said

“Gay weddings will be done soon. At the moment in Luxembourg, we have to change the situation of marriage, religion and divorce laws. But I don’t think it’ll be in the next five years – it’ll be next year.” Prime Minister Bettel promised.

Sam, who is the younger brother of footballer Efe sodje, was allegedly caught on tape telling an undercover reporter with The Sun UK magazine that he was paid £70,000 to be sent off the field during a championship match on February 23rd 2013.
