First Lady Visits Cape Town Museum
PHILLIPS: Well, unfortunately, bad weather forced first lady Michelle Obama to cancel her visit to the prison where Nelson Mandela was held. But she did get a tour of a museum to learn more about South Africa's history of segregation. Let's get to CNN's Nkepile Mabuse, who joins us now on the phone from Johannesburg.</s>NKEPILE MABUSE, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (via telephone): Hi there, Kyra. Obviously, the day began with a little bit of bad news for the first lady. She was looking forward to getting a tour of an island. Of course, this is where former President Nelson Mandela spent the majority of his 27-year-long incarceration. But she did get to go to the district museum and this museum basically tells the story of a community that was forced to be removed from that area because it was declared a white-only area. And, of course, that museum basically tells that story and how these people have now moved to the Cape Flats, the area that's called the Cape Flats here. And from there, she actually went past a small restaurant escorted by a lady who loved cooking, knew nothing about starting restaurants and the vaunt is one of the most popular here in Cape Town. She ordered her -- Malia and Sasha love sandwiches and she had a salad. She left for Cape Town where she interacted with some kids from disadvantaged communities. But she wanted them to see a university and dream about studying. So she stressed, as she has been throughout her trip, the importance of education and just motivated kids who could ask her any question, actually, including how she met the president.</s>PHILLIPS: I know she's being received extremely well. We'll continue to follow her trip there through your eyes. Thank you. Lindsay Lohan, familiar surroundings, back in court this morning and J.K. Rolling, well, has more Harry Potter and George Clooney is back on the market. "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT" host A.J. Hammer joins us. So where shall we start? The young actress, more trouble, more drama.</s>A.J. HAMMER, CO-HOST, "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT": Yes, and I hate to be cynical, but I can't say this is entirely unexpected, Kyra. Lindsay Lohan has violated her parole. She's heading back to court. Lindsay has been under house arrest and last week, she failed a court-ordered alcohol test. She is expected to try and explain herself in front of a judge this morning. She's appearing before the same judge who already sentenced Lohan to 120 days in jail. Now she's been able to serve the time under house arrest because of overcrowding in the Los Angeles jail. So you couldn't say Lindsay has been serving hard time. In fact, she even filmed a commercial in her home and in recent days, there have been multiple reports of Lohan partying with friends on her beach home roof. So what is the expression, Kyra, about a leopard not being able to change its spots? I think it applies here, sadly.</s>PHILLIPS: It just continues. OK, let's turn the corner shall we. Let's have a little more fun here. Harry Potter's story continues on the internet.</s>HAMMER: Yes, and my nephew will be thrilled about this. The books have wrapped up, the final movie is about to release, but Harry Potter will live on. And yes, that's going to happen online. J.K. Rolling has announced the creation of pottermore.com. She promises to share additional information that she's been in her words hoarding for years about her world of muggels and wizards. Rolling announced that she will be building the site in part with her fans as she's encouraging them to submit comments and drawings and all sorts of other contents. And good news for e-book readers, Rolling announced that the Potter e-book series is going to be made available and they're going to start off, of course, with the first one, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. As Rolling put it, Potter More is, quote, "the same story with a few crucial editions. The most important one is you." So great news for Potter fans this morning, Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: And great news for all the single ladies out there, George Clooney on the market again. What happened?</s>HAMMER: Everybody thinks, I've got a shot now. Well, George is back on the market. We don't know the real reason for his latest split. But, of course, a lot of people are speculating about what happened, with the common thinking being that, Clooney likes being single. He has repeatedly made it clear over the years. He does not plan on getting married ever again. But Clooney and his Italian model girlfriend, Elisebetta Canalis have called it quits with the pair issuing a statement to "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT." Here's what they say, we are not together any more. It is very difficult and very personal and we hope everyone can respect our privacy. George, you know, you're one of my favorite people on the planet especially in showbiz. So I wish you nothing but the best, and I'm sure it's all for the right reasons.</s>PHILLIPS: A.J., that's so politically correct. Stay on the scoop there. A.J. Hammer with everything breaking on the entertainment world, he's always got it for us every night on</s>HLN, "SHOWBIZ TONIGHT," 11: 00 p.m. Eastern Time.
