Afternoon Links : Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, Michelle Obama

Alec Baldwin attended the SAG Awards with his  teenage daughter Ireland who he screamed at on a voicemail phone call and called her a "thoughless little pig."  Alec Baldwin appeared on "The View" and  made every excuse for his behavior but never said he was sorry.

Dakota Fanning has been offered a role in New Moon and may join the cast of Twilight sequel.
Miley Cyrus had a wardrobe malfunction nipple slip and flashes camera crew on set.

Black Designers are mad at Michelle Obama for not picking one of their gowns as the First Lady's Inauguration dress.  The First Lady Michelle Obama is not happy about a new line of Sasha and Malia dolls. The company spokesperson first said that the dolls where inspired by the two first daughters and then changed their story.

The company that made Beanie Babies a top toy craze is hoping for another winner with dolls named "Sweet Sasha" and "Marvelous Malia."

Now where have we heard those names before?

Ty Inc. has released the 12-inch plush dolls as part of the company's "TyGirlz Collection," introduced in 2007. The Sasha doll has pigtails and wears a white and pink dress with hearts. The Malia doll has a side ponytail and a long-sleeve shirt with capri pants.

The Oak Brook-based company chose the dolls' names because "they are beautiful names," not because of any resemblance to President Obama's daughters, said spokeswoman Tania Lundeen.

"There's nothing on the dolls that refers to the Obama girls," Lundeen said. "It would not be fair to say they are exact replications of these girls. They are not."

Public figures have a legal right to control their how their images are used, but Lundeen would not comment on legal issues or if the company's lawyers have become involved with the dolls.

"I'm not an attorney. I can't answer that," she said.
