So, this is how Malia Obama got on while interning on the Girls TV set

Feb 8, 2017

A lot of students try to get some real-life experience before they go out into the big bad world of work.

Sure, how many of us went on work experience in secondary school?!

Saying that, we either went off to our uncle's office, or to the local creche down the road. And, it was certainly nothing like Malia Obama's internship on the set of Girls.

Yep, in the summer of 2015, Malia, at just 17, worked on Lena Dunham's TV show, and finally, the actress has spilled the beans on how she got on.

Speaking to radio DJ Howard Stern, Lena said: "She's an angel. She was interning at HBO and they thought, what if she comes a couple days a week to the set of Girls?

"She loved the show, and I mean, obviously we weren't, like, making her go get our coffee. You're not going to send [the president's daughter] to get coffee.

"But she wanted to do all the jobs. That was the cool thing. She was totally enthusiastic."

Malia is set to start her first term at Harvard University this autumn, and has also just started an internship with Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

We can see big things happening for this beauty.

Just as her family are leaving the White House, the New York Post has revealed where Malia Obama is heading to next.

While her family are jetting off to Palm Springs for a post-White House holiday, Malia is setting her sights for New York where she bagged an internship with Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

The 18-year-old is set to start work at the beginning of next month in the NYC office of The Weinstein Co.

At this stage, it is unclear what department Malia will be working in, but it is thought she will dip her feet into marketing or development for the company.

This isn't the first time the young adult interned in NYC though. She previously worked on the set of Girls in July 2015 and was also a production assistant on Halle Berry's show Extant in 2014.

Keep doing what you're doing, girl.

Summer goals: Malia Obama has scored one pretty sweet internship

Malia Obama is quickly becoming one of our major girl crushes.

Her style is the envy of us all here at SHEmazing! HQ, plus she lives in the White House, and that is – in fairness – pretty sweet.

Having recently being accepted into Harvard (How fancy), Malia has decided to take a gap year before embarking on her college journey in 2017.

And how does the daughter of the American President spend a gap year? Interning in Spain…obvs.

According to ABC Spain, Malia has locked down an internship in the U.S Embassy in Madrid.

The Obama family recently visited Cuba, where Malia had a chance to show of her flair for the Spanish language, even acting as an unofficial translator for her Dad.

The President and Malia share a laugh as Malia translates Spanish to English for her dad at a restaurant in Old Havana.

Malia, 18, along with her sister Sasha, were named two of "The 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014" by TIME magazine.

The sisters have been complimented by the press numerous times for their amazing style, and manner as children of the world's most powerful man.

We are expecting really great things from these Obama women, and who knows, one of them could run for president in the years to come!

Buena suerte (good luck), Malia!

Sasha Obama’s fangirl moment for Ryan Reynolds has gone super viral

Mar 14, 2016

by Amber Saunders

No matter how many dignitaries, ambassadors, Prime Ministers and regular celebs you've met in your life, it seems all it takes is one glance from Ryan Reynolds to knock you for six.

As the daughter of US President Barack Obama, 14-year-old Sasha Obama hasn't exactly had an ordinary upbringing. But just like most teens her age (and adults, let's face it), she's a big fan of Mr. Reynolds.

And after coming face-to-face with the *disarmingly* hot actor during the Canada State Dinner at the White House last week, poor Sasha got a bit flustered.

Vancouver native Ryan attended the event with his wife Blake Lively, but found a few minutes to chat with the President's youngest daughter before sitting down to dinner.

This candid snap, which shows poor Sasha looking like she's about to melt with excitement as she chats with Ryan, has been doing the rounds on the internet all weekend.

There's just so much to love about it – Sasha's uber-starstruck face, Ryan's 'let's have a serious conversation, shall we?' expression and, of course, 17-year-old Malia Obama being the cheekiest big sister ever in the background.

She might be a bit blurred out, but there's no mistaking that massive smirk and thumbs up that Malia is throwing in her little sister's direction:

We bet the unmerciful slagging is STILL going on, four days later.

Style envy! Malia and Sasha Obama have the BEST autumn wardrobe

Nov 26, 2015

by Amber Saunders

It's no easy feat to stand there and look like you're loving your dad's awful jokes while the world's media watches you, but Sasha and Malia Obama pulled it off this year – while looking super-stylish to boot.

Malia, 17 and Sasha, 14, were at the White House yesterday for the President's annual Thanksgiving Turkey Pardon, a family event which sees the POTUS allow two turkeys to escape the chopping block.

Dressed in dark tights and flat leather boots with woolly socks, the pair both looked the picture of relaxed autumn style.

Malia wore an American Apparel striped turtleneck with a forest green A-line mini, and covered up with a seriously gorgeous two-tone Barbour-style jacket.

Sasha opted for a denim skirt and a cream knitted sweater, both also from American Apparel, which she accessorised with large tortoiseshell glasses – her first time wearing them in public.

We're definitely taking notes for our Christmas Day look.

This year's event definitely went more smoothly for the Obama daughters than last year's, which saw a former Republican Party staff member resign after criticising Sasha and Malia's behaviour.

The pair certainly made no effort to hide their boredom at the 2014 Turkey Pardon, something which Elizabeth Lauten called "classless" in a public Facebook post, adding that their outfits would be more fitting "at a bar."

This time around, Malia and Sasha were on their best behaviour, with Sasha even telling her dad, "that was good," after a particularly awful turkey joke.

Sounds like these two are definitely growing up – and they've definitely come a long way (in height, mainly) since their dad's first campaign trail eight years ago.

Such a change!

So Malia Obama officially has the best summer job of all time…

At 16 years of age and with a father who's been the President of the United States for the last seven years, Malia Obama's upbringing has been far from normal.

Wherever she goes, be it to Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival, a Beyoncé concert or just out for a stroll with friends, the teenager has to have at least two Secret Service agents in her vicinity at all times. Very inconvenient if you're 16 years old and trying to impress boys.

One thing Malia's parents have allowed her to do to live a somewhat normal teenage life is to get a part-time summer job. Except, of course, this is no normal summer job… she's not working in her local Centra, we assure you.

The teenager is spending the next few weeks away from her home in Washington DC to work in New York as an intern on the set of HBO's Girls, according to TMZ. There are definitely a few perks to being the President's daughter…

Malia has been on set in Brooklyn all week, where Lena Dunham and co. are currently filming the show's fourth series.

The eldest Obama daughter obviously has an interest in TV production (or just in TV), as this is her second interning gig on the set of a show. Last summer she worked on Halle Berry's Extant in Los Angeles, where crew members told TMZ that she mainly went on coffee runs and stopped passers-by from accidentally walking on to the set.

It might not be the most glamourous of jobs, but we love that Malia's parents have encouraged her to work to get what she wants, rather than waiting for things to come her way.
