As Sarah Jessica Parker gets ready to host President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at a fundraiser at her home, the GOP is accusing Team Obama of being out of touch by mingling with the rich and famous in these economic times. We have one word to say about that -- Trump! Meanwhile, hear more about Justin Timberlake and the Marine Corporal, learn why you soon won't be seeing junk food ads on Disney, get the latest on Sheryl Crow's benign (thank goodness!) brain tumor and join us in saluting Olympic gold medal gymnast Shawn Johnson, who is ending her Olympic comeback and retiring from competitive gymnastics.

#1 -- SJP & the Obamas
It's one of the hottest tickets in Democratic circles -- an exclusive fundraiser Sarah Jessica Parker is hosting Monday night for President & Mrs. Obama. Parker has appeared in an Obama TV ad... so has Vogue's Anna Wintour, which has the Republicans accusing Dems of being out of touch mingling with the rich and famous in these economic times. But hello, GOP, can we talk about Donald Trump?

#2 -- We Heart You Justin!
You already won us over when you escorted a Marine Corporal to her ball after she asked you out on YouTube. Well, now we love you even more for taking that same Marine Corporal to Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards and saluting her in remarks to the crowd, saying, "When you were enlisting, I was put in a boy band," You get it big time! We simply don't know how you can top this!

#3 -- No More Junk Food Ads!
The First Lady called the move by Disney a game-changer -- and we couldn't agree more. Can you imagine that a major media company is now saying it will NO longer show junk food ads on its programs beginning in 2015? Now we just hope other companies will follow suit. And they should -- because analysts say Disney might score big points with parents -- which could mean more money spent by those parents on Disney products.

And now, the iVillage 5 Question of the Week - What beloved children's icon is making a bid to carry the torch in the 2012 Summer Olympic? The answer in seconds.

#4 -- Scary
Did you say "Oh my God!" like we did, when you saw the news that Sheryl Crow has a benign brain tumor. The breast cancer survivor reveals she was so worried about her memory that she had an MRI, which led to the diagnosis. Thankfully, the 50-year-old's fine, according to a representative, and her condition is not that uncommon. We are so relieved!

#5 -- True Inspiration!
We were so sad to learn Olympic gold medal gymnastics champ Shawn Johnson was ending her Olympic comeback... and retiring due to injuries... but we KNOW she will continue to inspire girls (and women like me). She's already written a book about her life that's in book stores now -- and will be in London cheering Team USA. And yes, there is always the possibility of a return to 'Dancing with the Stars.'

And now the answer to the iVillage 5 Question of the Week -- Elmo! The Muppet and Sesame Street star has launched a video and Facebook campaign in a quest to be the first monster ever to carry the Olympic torch.
