From her powerful speeches to her admirable charitable efforts Michelle Obama is pretty much First Lady goals and it seems no one is more aware of this fact than Donald Trump’s wife Melania.

The First Lady hopeful gave her first big speech at the Republican National Convention last night and while it was very well received by her audience, critics have since noticed that a number of lines in the address seem to have been lifted from a speech given by Mrs Obama back in 2008.

Speaking in Cleveland, Melania said “from a young age, my parents impressed on me, the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect” in a statement which sounds suspiciously similar to Michelle’s:  “From a young age, my parents impressed on me, the values that you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond; that you do what you say and keep your promise. That you treat people with respect.”

And in the same part of the speech Michelle said “because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them,” Melania continued:  “Because want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength to your dreams and your willingness to work for them.”

According to The Guardian, this morning Trump’s team denied that the speech was plagiarised with the chairman of the Trump campaign telling CNN that “there’s no cribbing of Michelle Obama’s speech”.

But it seems not all of Camp Trump are on the same page as last night Trump’s speechwriter admitted Melania’s speech contained fragments of other speeches which “reflected her own thinking” before stating that the speech was produced by a team of writers.

This statement is in stark contrast to Melania’s claim that she wrote the speech herself.  Awks.

As with all things Trump, the incident has spurred on some powerful hashtags with #FamousMelaniaTrumpQuotes in particular throwing up some serious gems.  Check out our favorites below.

From sharing her workouts online to Turning Up for What, we always knew the First Lady of the United States was in a league of her own, but her latest announcement has seriously taken the biscuit.

Joining the likes of Adele, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mariah Carey, Michelle Obama has agreed to ride shotgun with James Corden in the latest episode of Carpool Karaoke, and we are PUMPED.

Rocking up to the White House on Tuesday, the Late Late Show host took to Snapchat to reveal that he would be taking part in a very special edition of the music segment.

Looking ever so slightly starstruck, James began: "Hi, I'm at the White House today. I'm going to take a spin in a car and sing some songs with…" before good ol' MIch finished with "Me!"

Ah, lads we cannot wait!

As America moves closer to 2016 and the election of a new president, everyone is wondering what will the Obamas do once they've left the White House. 

And while the first lady used to be a lawyer and worked at the University of Chicago, we think she might have another career in mind: rapping. 

Yep, rapping. Michelle recently joined SNL's comedian Jay Pharoah to perform a new rap track about going to college. 

Although it's more Kevin G than G Unit, the FLOTUS raps like a total badness:

It's no easy feat to stand there and look like you're loving your dad's awful jokes while the world's media watches you, but Sasha and Malia Obama pulled it off this year – while looking super-stylish to boot.

Malia, 17 and Sasha, 14, were at the White House yesterday for the President's annual Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon, a family event which sees the POTUS allow two turkeys to escape the chopping block.

Dressed in dark tights and flat leather boots with woolly socks, the pair both looked the picture of relaxed autumn style.

Malia wore an American Apparel striped turtleneck with a forest green A-line mini, and covered up with a seriously gorgeous two-tone Barbour-style jacket.

Sasha opted for a denim skirt and a cream knitted sweater, both also from American Apparel, which she accessorised with large tortoiseshell glasses – her first time wearing them in public.

We're definitely taking notes for our Christmas Day look.

This year's event definitely went more smoothly for the Obama daughters than last year's, which saw a former Republican Party staff member resign after criticising Sasha and Malia's behaviour.

The pair certainly made no effort to hide their boredom at the 2014 Turkey Pardon, something which Elizabeth Lauten called "classless" in a public Facebook post, adding that their outfits would be more fitting "at a bar."

This time around, Malia and Sasha were on their best behaviour, with Sasha even telling her dad, "that was good," after a particularly awful turkey joke.

Sounds like these two are definitely growing up – and they've definitely come a long way (in height, mainly) since their dad's first campaign trail eight years ago.

Such a change!

When you're a kid, there's nothing better than going out to trick or treat with your parents – but these children were very lucky because they went trick or treating on the front garden of the White House. 

Barack and Michelle Obama welcomed the children of military families to come to the White House for a festive afternoon, but we don't think Barack was expecting such genius costumes. 

Obama absolutely cracked up when the world's smallest Pope landed on his doorstep, along with his clever dad. #ParentGoals.

He loved the costume so much he brought Michelle over to see it too.

The Obamas also welcomed a flurry of witches and princesses alike on the day, as well as an American Cub player.

Two months ago, Justin Bieber called upon a flurry of big celebritie names to tease his What Do You Mean comeback single. 

The release countdown was as star-filled as could be with big names like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Britney, Martha Stewart and Ruby Rose all taking part.

But yesterday, Michelle Obama outdid ALL of the other celebs to promote Justin's second single, Sorry. 

The FLOTUS appeared in a clip alongside Vine star, King Bach. 

It's only a small promo but her face says everything really:

The President Barack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle, put on a surprise performance for Usher last week as he celebrated his birthday in the White House. 

The singer turned 37-years-old last Wednesday and was set to perform for the couple, when suddenly Obama broke out into song and presented him with a cupcake and lit candle. 

Michelle then joined in, to the surprise of Usher. 

So this really happened the other night…… The President and First Lady sang me Happy Birthday at The White House & I…

 In case you missed it yesterday, Beyoncé turned 34-years old.

To honour Queen Bey on her special day, which many are advocating should be an international holiday, friends and family had a very unique way of wishing her happy birthday.

They got together and curated a very special Beyoncé themed playlist. Not to be outdone, Bey also released a previously unheard remix of Crazy In Love on Spotify.

The Beyoncé birthday playlist came with messages from those closest to the star, including Jay-Z and Blue Ivy, because of course, and a lot of them will probably make you emotional.

Such as Jay explaining why he chose Coldplay’s track Yellow:

“’Look at the stars, look how they shine for you’… It’s us in our own world, away from work and totally lost in love.”

Kelly Rowland chose What’s The 411? by Mary J. Blige because obviously that was one of their favourite tracks to sing together when they were younger.

Then comes Blue Ivy’s pick. Her selection came last because whoever was putting this list together knew that her contribution would be the ultimate mic drop:

"Mommy you sung this to me all the time! Happy Birthday, Mommy!”

What song is she talking about exactly? Part of this World, from The Little Mermaid.

Many other celebs, and members of the ultimate fan club the Beyhive, took to social media to wish the star a happy birthday. These included Taylor Swift, Lena Dunham and Michelle Obama, naturally.

Univision TV presenter and Emmy-Award winner, Rodner Figueroa has been fired after he made derogatory comments about the First Lady of The United States, Michelle Obama.

During a show that was broadcast on Wednesday, Rodner was discussing the make-up artist who transforms himself in Kim Kardashian and Michelle Obama, Paolo Ballesteros when he made the comment that he made Michelle looks like she was in Planet of the Apes:

“Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she’s from the case of Planet of the Apes the movie.”

At the time, nothing was said regarding the defamatory comment, but a call later came from Michelle Obama’s office, complaining about the broadcast.

Now, Rodner has written a letter to the First Lady, TMZ says, explaining how his comment was not meant in racist way: “I’ve been an activist for causes in favour of minorities, as I have been discriminated against.”

Rodner also added that he is the first openly-gay Hispanic TV presenter and is from a bi-racial family.

So that's how she does it!

Beyoncé treated her fans to a behind the scenes insight into her life last night, when she posted an Instagram video detailing her gruelling exercise routine.

The singer posted a sped-up video showing five of the key exercises she does to maintain that amazing figure, from abs exercises, to high-intensity boxing, to some pretty incredible lunges.

 

A video posted by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

We are tired after just watching that!

Bey's post was part of Michelle Obama Let's Move campaign, and was captioned "Celebrating the 5th anniversary of Let's Move! #GimmeFive @michelleobama." Michelle also re-grammed Bey's post, writing, "Double tap if you're ready to work out with @Beyonce! #GimmeFive of your workout drills (or you'll disappoint the Beygency)."

The singer has been involved in Michelle's youth fitness initiative since the very beginning – in fact, you might remember THIS viral video from 2011, which saw  Bey surprise a group of high school students as they performed the official Let's Move dance to her song Get Me Bodied.

Some serious motivation there! Get moving, ladies!

We all know the FLOTUS just loves her fruit and veggies – and what better way to show her true feelings that doing a little dance with a turnip?

In a Vine released by The White House, Michelle asks: “turnip, for what?” before dropping the beat…

We love it, maybe Sabina might do her own version?

American TV personality and psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow has said that he doesn’t want nutrition advice from Michelle Obama because she needs to “drop a few”.

There was a discussion about federal nutrition standards for school lunches on Fox’s talk show Outnumbered on Tuesday, and when one contributor spoke about Michelle Obama being a spokesperson for school nutrition, Ablow responded:

“How well can she be eating? She needs to drop a few.

“No, let’s be honest. No, listen – we’re taking nutritional advice from who? Let’s be honest, there’s no french fries ever? That’s all kale and carrots? I don’t buy it.”

What we don’t buy is that an apparently educated man could make such a ridiculous comment! Michelle Obama looks perfect to us – someone needs to get their eyes tested!
