President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama congratulated Prince William and Kate Middleton on the royal birth of their baby boy on Monday.

In an official statement issued by the White House, the President said, “Michelle and I are so pleased to congratulate The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the joyous occasion of the birth of their first child.”

He continued, “We wish them all the happiness and blessings parenthood brings. The child enters the world at a time of promise and opportunity for our two nations. Given the special relationship between us, the American people are pleased to join with the people of the United Kingdom as they celebrate the birth of the young prince.”

Of course, the Obamas were only some of the well-known figures to offer their congratulations on the big birth.

DUMBEST STORY OF WEEK: Mag Says Kerry Washington Wed Nnamdi Asomugha Because She Couldn’t Steal Barack Obama

Here’s the Dumbest Story of the Week!

The National Enquirer is reporting that Michelle Obama beat Kerry Washington for President Obama’s love.

Seriously.

“Chalk one up for Michelle Obama!” declares the tabloid, apparently needing to fill space. “After the first lady (sic) banned ‘Scandal’ star Kerry Washington from the White House due to President Barack Obama’s obsession with her, the sexy beauty settled for another guy.”

Um… WHAT?!

The Enquirer’s sources say that’s the “untold story” behind Washington’s recent marriage to San Francisco 49ers player Nnamdi Asomugha.

“Kerry finally realized that she didn’t have a chance at Barack and was forced to find someone else,” one “source” tells the tabloid.

The Enquirer insider adds, “Now that Kerry has found her own man, Michelle can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

Wow.

How insulting to all four people involved.

Washington has politically supported the President, and was appointed to an arts and humanities committee.

That’s (obviously) the extent of their relationship.

For the Enquirer to pit Michelle Obama against the actress, and then say that Washington had to “settle” for Asomugha because she supposedly couldn’t steal the President of the United States away from his wife — a made-up theory for which there’s absolutely no evidence — is beneath even the supermarket tabloid’s dubious standards.

Michelle Obama is among the victims of a massive hack of public figures’ financial information.

Hackers have posted what they say is the First Lady’s credit report — including her Social Security number, credit card information, and additional personal banking data — online, along with the comment: “Blame your husband, we still love you, Michelle.”

The U.S. Secret Service has opened an investigation in response to the breach, although a spokesperson would not offer further comment.

As Gossip Cop reported on Monday, a number of high-profile people ranging from celebs like Beyonce and Kim Kardashian to political figures like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were targeted by the hackers, whom TMZ says are actually “using” the credit information rather than just going for a publicity splash.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
