In its 14th year on VH1, this edition of “VH1 Divas” will once again benefit the VH1 Save The Music Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping music education alive in American public schools. To date, VH1 Save The Music has provided more than $49.5 million in new musical instruments to 1,850 public schools in more than 128 school districts around the country, impacting the lives of over 2.1 million children.

The Randomness:

1.  L.A. Reid is leaving "X-Factor" to dedicate his time fully to his head position over sat EPIC records.

2.  Senator & former Presidential candidate John Kerry is expected to be named Secretary of State, after Dr. Susan Rice voluntarily withdrew her name from the pile. STORY

President Obama made his way to Newtown, Connecticut on Sunday to give an emotional speech at the vigil of the victims of Friday's soul-less shooting.

 

We have his full speech, and his promises to make REAL change, inside...

After visiting his youngest daughter Sasha at her dance rehearsal in Bethesda, MD on Sunday, President Obama made his way to Connecticut to visit the town who has been rocked to the core by Friday's school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.

Photobucket

While families and friends of the 27 deceased children and adults grieved, our President offered words of comfort, prayer and promise.  Especially where taking preventable measures are concerned.  At the Interfaith vigil on stage at Newtown High School, Obama stated:

"We can't accept events like this as routine," he said. "Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage? That the politics are too hard? Are we prepared to say that the violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?"

"If there's even one step we can take to save one child, or one parent, or one town from the grief that has visited Tucson, and Aurora and Oak Creek and Newtown and communities from Columbine to Blacksburg before that, then surely we have an obligation to try.

He promised to make a change with the growing gun violence in out country:

"In the coming weeks, I'll use whatever power this office holds to engage my fellow citizens, from law enforcement to mental health professionals to parents and educators in an effort to prevent more tragedies like this," he said. "Because what choice do we have?"

His full emotional speech is below:

 

UPDATE: Sandy Hook Elementary reportedly will be permanently closed.
