PRESIDENT OBAMA'S inauguration festivities went down yesterday.
Here's all the fun stuff that happened . . .
#1.) PRESIDENT OBAMA somehow managed to mess up the Presidential Oath at the Inauguration AGAIN. (Full Story)
#2.) SASHA OBAMA was caught yawning during her dad's Inaugural speech. (Full Story)
#3.) MALIA OBAMA inadvertently photobombed a shot of her parents kissing. (--Here's the pic.) (Us Weekly)
#4.) Did MICHELLE OBAMA just give JOHN BOEHNER the brush-off or what? (--Check out this video.)
#5.) Former president BILLY CLINTON wasn't very inconspicuous when he checked out KELLY CLARKSON. From behind, of course. (--Check out the pic.) (The Superficial)
#6.) AL ROKER got way too jazzed to get a handshake from VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. Did he keep his shorts clean? (--Here's video.)
#9.) I'm not saying he's racist, but GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS mistook NBA legend BILL RUSSELL for fellow tall, old black guy MORGAN FREEMAN. (--Here's video.)
#10.) IAN SOMERHALDER from "The Vampire Diaries" had seats for the inauguration . . . but he LOST HIS TICKETS. (Full Story)
#11.) Here's video of BEYONCE singing the National Anthem . . . Here's KELLY CLARKSON singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" . . . And JAMES TAYLOR sang "America the Beautiful".
#12.) It's time to stop wondering why JAMES FRANCO does what he does, and just accept that he's going to do it. James wrote a special "inauguration poem" called "Obama in Asheville". (--You can see him recite it here.)
#13.) Check out this awesome map that identifies all the important people in the crowd behind Obama. (Full Story)
#14.) Like ARETHA FRANKLIN before her, KATY PERRY wore a giant hat to an Obama inauguration. (--Here's a pic. And yes, she's holding that little bow up to it to remind us of Aretha's epic lid from four years ago.) (People)
#15.) At the inaugural ball, BARACK and MICHELLE OBAMA danced to JENNIFER HUDSON singing AL GREEN'S "Let's Stay Together". (--Here's video.)
#16.) ALICIA KEYS sang "Obama's on Fire". (Video)
