He’s helped the pets of Oprah Winfrey and Will Smith, and now ‘Dog Whisperer’ Cesar Millan, has some input for the most powerful pooch in the country. When speaking with CBS’ Lesley Stahl, Milan offered some tough love for Bo, the family canine of the Obama household.

Viewing a picture of Barack Obama and his large, curly Portuguese Water Dog, Cesar disagreed with the walking stance the President was taking.

"Day one was not a good scene. The dog always in front of the president of the United States. If your dog doesn't learn how to follow, you'll never have a disciplined pet."

Originally given to the Obamas as a gift from the late Senator Ted Kennedy, Bo has gotten plenty of media attention in his one year (or seven dog years) of life. He’s got his own Wikipedia page, been covered in dozens of news articles, and seems to be greatly adored by First Daughters, Malia and Sasha.

But does Bo have too much power in the White House? According to Cesar, it’s not uncommon for the Presidential dogs to assert authority from their famous masters. When speaking about George W. Bush and his dog, Barney, Millan said:

“He walked the dog in front. Barney? Sometimes he didn't want to go inside the helicopter!”

Perhaps it’s time to tighten that leash!

Que lastima! Less than a year after Oprah revealed that she was saying goodbye to television, her Cuban counterpart Cristina Saralegui has announced that she’s doing the same thing. Yup, after over 20 years on the air, her groundbreaking Spanish talk show, “Cristina” is going off the air.

Since its major debut in 1989, "Cristina” has been a staple of Spanish television. Her professional demeanor and friendly attitude has attracted some of the biggest names in Latino entertainment. Stars like Shakira, Ricky Martin, and Gloria Estefan have all taken a seat on the legendary stage.

Of course, unlike Oprah, Ms. Saralegui wasn’t afraid to shy away from the outrageous. Throughout the years, she’s been known for her silly costumes (you’ve got to love that barrel outfit), beauty contests, and half-naked cowboys prancing on the set.

And as far as heavy-hitting goes, her dramatic interviews with former Menudo members and controversial star Gloria Trevi scored huge ratings. And by all accounts, “Cristina” is still riding high. Which makes us wonder, why the premature exit?

According to Saralegui, “It is bittersweet to announce the end of what has been a very rewarding experience, but after many wonderful years, now is the perfect time to retire the show and move on to the next exciting phase of my career.”

What exactly will that be? According to sources, she’s still under contract to Univision, which means we can expect plenty of Cristina specials in the near future. But as far as “Cristina” the show goes, the final episode is set to air November 1st and you can bet Team Blogamole will be watching (with plenty of tissues in hand).

Ain't love grand? On Oprah yesterday (May 17), Jada Pinkett Smith embarrassed husband Will Smith when she revealed some of the secrets to keeping "the flame burning" in their marriage.

"How saucy do you want to get, Oprah," Jada playfully replied. Poor Will seemed uncomfortable, protesting "Hey, hey, we've got kids in the green room!" Jada revealed that "surprises" kept their marriage fresh and that sometimes she likes to send "sexy pictures" to Will during the day!

Hot stuff!

We never pegged RPattz as a rapper!  When Robert Pattinson appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (airing today, May 13th - Pattinson's 24th Birthday), the British actor revealed his teen rapping aspirations.

"I used to want to be a rapper when I was, like, 14."

Pattinson was joined on the show by co-stars Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to promote the release of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" in June.

After performing "Never Think" and "Let Me Sign" on the 2008 Twilight soundtrack, fans were made privy to Robert Pattinson's exceptional musical skills.

It's official!!

The heartfelt pleas of Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva reached the ears and hearts of the International Olympic Committee and for the first time ever, the Olympic games will be held on the South American continent in the year 2016!

It would have been nice for the U.S. to host them here in Chicago, but for some unknown reason the bid was knocked out of the race within the first round of votes. Not even the presence of President Obama and our reigning television queen Oprah were enough to sway the IOC.

Pero como dijo President Da Silva, "It is time to light the Olympic cauldron in a tropical country." Even Pelé teared up from the emotion! This means that between the World Cup in 2014, and the Olympic Games in 2016, Brazil will be host to the two largest sporting events in the world! Go Brazil!

Our Portuguese isn't too sharp, but we'll leave you with this quote from Ricky Martin's Twitter page: "Rio Parabens Cidade Maravilhosa!!!O Rio vai dar um show em 2016!!! SAMBA OLIMPICA!"

Gracias Ricky y felicitaciones para Brazil y toda Suramérica!! [Comcast]
