See why Michelle isn't the new Princess Diana and check out our list of must-reads that will have you chatting at the lunch counter, over IM or wherever it is that people actually talk these days.
- Michelle Obama may not have the Princess Diana appeal when it comes to selling magazines.

- Now even Nine Inch Nails has their own iPhone app. The application will allow users to send photos, music and videos that functions like Twitter for NIN fans.
