White House social secretary Desiree Rogers , who has been under fire ever since Michaele and Tareq Salahi crashed President Barack Obama ’s first state dinner, will resign in March, she told Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet . “As we turn the corner on the first year,” Rogers told Sweet, “this is a good time for me to explore opportunities in the corporate world.” Rogers has been a glamorous and somewhat controversial figure in the White House from the beginning, posing for fashion shots and bringing eye-catching style to her post but sometimes being accused of neglecting the nitty gritty of the job. (Read more on Desiree in our WSJ. Magazine cover story from last April.) When the Salahi security came to light, Secret Service leaders took the fall, saying they had neglected to keep a watchful eye on the guests coming into the dinner for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh . But critics said Rogers and her crew were equally responsible for matching the guests to the guest list...

ESPN have got a habit of banning employees, and Tony Kornheiser is the latest one to get the ESPN wrath after comments he made about SportCenter anchor Hannah Storm’s outfit. Kornheiser being the character he is, mocked Storm’s wardrobe by commenting on her “very, very tight shirt,” and said that she looked like she has a “sausage casing wrapping around her upper body.” After these remarks he admits that he is not supposed to be “critical” of any ESPN employee’s but asks Hannah Storm to “stop!” and asks her “what are you doing?” The Pardon the Interuption host must have realised that he done wrong, and when he appeared on his radio show the next day, he apologised for being a “sarcastic, subversive guy” and called himself a “troll.” He ends the sentence by saying that he has no right to insult what anyone looks like, or what they wear. ESPN obviously didn’t think the apology was good enough, and still suspended Kornheiser for a few days. The PTI co-host is very well known for mocking m...

As celebrity couples go, Evan Lysacek and Nastia Liukin are a gold-medal pair. Seriously, they've both won Olympic gold medals in their respective sports. On his way to becoming the first U.S. man to win figure skating gold in 22 years last week, Lysacek had a little help from Liukin, a gymnastics champion. The couple met in October 2008 in Rapid City, S.D., performing on the NBC special Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular and have dated since last summer . "We became good friends and became really close since," says Lysacek, who attended the ESPYs with Nastia last July and things progressed from there. Lysacek went to Dallas to cheer on Liukin during her gymnastics comeback at the U.S. Nationals in August, then this month, the couple switched roles. "To see his dreams come true was amazing," Liukin, 20, who had a cameo on Gossip Girl last season, says of watching her man triumph at the Olympics. "Even though we're not in the same sport, the...

It comes to this – our neighbouring nations play each other in tournament hockey action at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics . Team Canada takes on Team USA at 4:40pm PT today over at Canada Hockey Place and even last night you could see flags from both countries being paraded up and down Granville street. The city is a rumbling mass of patriots from around the globe and none more loud and present than those representing Canada. People keep asking who we will be cheering for, me being born and raised in Metro Vancouver and John being a permanent resident of Canada, originally from Iowa. Even though he’s in love with his new host country, one thing is certain, he is a Team USA guy to the core. John will be cheering on the team that brought us the legendary Miracle on Ice back in 1980, a team that has a proud, strong tradition of hockey and undying patriotism. The Vancouver Canucks’ own Ryan Kesler will also be sporting the red, white and blue, which is another reason he’s excited to cheer f...

And the winner is … Ron Paul . Mr. Paul, a Republican Congressman from Texas who inspired an intense following for president in 2008, swept the 2012 presidential straw poll Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference . He won with 31 percent of the nearly 2,400 votes at the conference, edging out Mitt Romney , the former Massachusetts governor, who won the straw poll last year and who captured 22 percent of the vote. When Mr. Paul’s name was announced in the packed ballroom of a Washington hotel, it elicited hoots and boos along with applause. Although Mr. Romney won fewer votes, he seemed to draw stronger applause. Sarah Palin , the former governor of Alaska, who did not attend the conference, was a distant third, with 7 percent of the vote. About half of the 10,000 people attending the conference are students, according to the poll. The straw poll in past years has rarely predicted the winner of the Republican nomination. Despite the poll, David Kee...
