Michelle Obama reveals daughter Malia Obama's name change
Michelle Obama is breaking her silence on eldest daughter Malia Obama's decision to drop her last name. Malia Ann, who is pursuing a film career in Hollywood, used her middle name as her artistic name for the credits of short film "The Heart" which she wrote and directed, that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2024. During a Wednesday, June 4, appearance on the "Sibling Revelry" podcast cohosted by Oliver and Kate Hudson, Obama addressed Malia's decision to ditch Obama after former President Barack Obama's second term. The Obamas also share University of Southern California alum Sasha Obama. Michelle Obama to publish new book 'The Look' this fall and 'reclaim' fashion story "Our daughters (Malia and Sasha) are 25 and 23. They are young adult women, but they definitely went through a period in their teen years where it was the push away. … They're still doing that," Obama told the Hudson siblings, noting that "you guys know this as the children of parents who are known." Michelle Obama says 'everyone' would know if she divorced Barack Obama: 'I'm not a martyr' The Hudsons are the children of actress Goldie Hawn and previously estranged dad, musician Bill Hudson, although they count Hawn's longterm partner Kurt Russell as a father figure. "It is very important for my kids to feel like they've earned what they are getting in the world, and they don't want people to assume that they don't work hard, that they're just naturally, just handed things," the "Becoming" author added. "They're very sensitive to that – they want to be their own people."On Malia's first project "she took off her last name, and we were like, they're still going to know it's you, Malia," Obama continued. "But we respected the fact that she's trying to make her way." Obama told the Hudson siblings, during the appearance alongside her own brother and "IMO" podcast co-host Craig Robinson, that "our daughters didn't want to be little princesses in the White House." "They wanted to push the envelope; they needed some rope. They wanted to try some things, they wanted to be out in the world, and I knew that under the circumstances, they needed more rope than I probably would've given them if I were my mom," Obama said.

Gamers complain after receiving damaged Nintendo Switch 2 consoles from NY GameStop
Gamers complain after receiving damaged Nintendo Switch 2 consoles from NY GameStop A GameStop spokesperson told USA TODAY the damages were isolated to a single store in Staten Island, New York. Show Caption Hide Caption Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here with a new Mario Kart game The new Nintendo Switch is now available. It retails for $449.99, and is expected to sell out fast due to heavy pre-order volume and low retail stock. Some fans who got their hands on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 had their excitement deflated as multiple customers complained that their new console came out of the box damaged. Reports of this issue were shared across X and Reddit, mainly from consumers who said they bought the device from a GameStop in New York that had stapled receipts to the Nintendo Switch 2 packages and subsequently punctured the console screens. 'GameStop stapled the receipt for me and my friends Switch 2s to the box,' wrote X user Oadhan Lynch, sharing a series of pictures of the device after it had been opened. 'Genuinely insane now I'm gonna have to wait 3 months for the restock. And yes we were there for the midnight release so I bet everyone in this line is gonna have this same issue.' A GameStop spokesperson told USA TODAY: "These occurrences were isolated to a single store in Staten Island, NY. The affected customers − who represented a very small fraction − were swiftly given replacements." Lynch wrote in an updated X post on Thursday, June 5, that GameStop had "made things right" by providing replacements to those around New York and New Jersey who bought the damaged Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. Nintendo working to ensure retailers have 'ample supply' of Switch 2 The Nintendo Switch 2 was released on Thursday, June 5, for $449.99, with bundles including the new "Mario Kart World" also available for $499. Fans waited in long lines across the country for a chance to buy the console, which is the successor of the uberly popular original Switch, the second-highest selling device in Nintendo's history, selling more than 152 million units, CNBC reported. The high demand for the console did lead to a shortage that Nintendo says should be temporary, according to CNBC. 'We've been working really closely with our retail partners to ensure there's ample supply for not only the launch weekend, but well beyond,' Nintendo President and COO Doug Bowser told CNBC at the midnight launch party for the product at Nintendo's store in New York's Rockefeller Center.
