Rap mogul Master P and Michelle Obama are teaming up to fight the childhood obesity epidemic. Master P will be hosting an event during Grammy week where he will ask celebrities to support the first lady’s Let’s Move! campaign through his own Move Through Music organization.

Furthermore, a reader survey conducted by Bizbash named Michelle Obama the top choice to walk the red carpet in 2011. Twenty-five percent of those surveyed selected Mrs. Obama over people like Bill Clinton and Lady Gaga.
