Michelle Obama and other celebrities will feature on the new season of kids TV show Sesame Street.

Michelle, 45, will promote gardening on the 40th anniversary season of Sesame Street.

The First Lady will feature on the first episode of the new series teaching kids about healthy eating as she plants tomatoes and cucumber seeds.

Other big names that will feature on the anniversary season of the show, include actresses Cameron Diaz and Eva Longoria Parker and comedian actor Ricky Gervais.

The new season premieres on November 10.

A comic book series looking at the lives of powerful women is to feature talk-show queen and media mogul Oprah Winfrey.

The TV star will appear in Bluewater Productions’ collection, Female Force.

Previous women whose stories have been told include Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

An issue devoted to Diana, Princess of Wales will come out in July and one on Condoleezza Rice will be published in August. The Oprah issue is published in September. One on Caroline Kennedy is out now, and a further issue will be dedicated to veteran television reporter and personality, Barbara Walters.

Oprah rose from a childhood of poverty and abuse to become a millionaire at the age of 32.

She lives on a 42-acre estate in Montecito, California, and reportedly owns nine other homes.

Bluewater Productions publisher Darren G. Davis said: “She turned her wounds into wisdom and survived an abusive family to become one of the most powerful and influential people in the world.”

Michelle Obama has become the first First Lady to be voted on to Maxim’s Hot 100 list, eclipsing the winner, actress Olivia Wilde.

The 45-year-old mother-of-two got the seal of approval from the lads’ magazine, joining babes Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé and Scarlett Johansson.

Maxim says: “He may be dealing with two wars, an economic meltdown, and a rapidly greying dome, but at least our Commander-in-Chief gets to come home to the hottest First Lady in the history of these United States. (Sorry, Martha Washington!).”

Despite being called “not a great beauty” by model Iman, Obama beat Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei and TV presenter Padma Lakshmi to win the number 93 spot.

Maxim editor-in-chief Joe Levy says that the First Lady made the list because “we merely want to acknowledge that the overall package is one of remarkable beauty, intelligence and talent”.

But Obama wasn’t “hot” enough to top the chart – a place that was reserved for Wilde, a woman 21 years her junior.

The 24-year-old native New Yorker plays a TV doctor called Dr Hadley, on House MD.

Wilde, who is pictured in black leather stockings with matching boots, her legs spread to reveal her lace panties, was chosen, according to the magazine, because “she makes our body temperatures rise”.

The Obamas have marked up another first – hiring a full-time makeup artist to travel the globe with First Lady Michelle Obama.

Makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, helped create Obama’s signature look on her inaugural trip to Europe recently.

Now she is being hired to always be part of Michelle’s traveling entourage, something no other First Lady has done.

“No other First Ladies have consistently traveled with a makeup artist,” said hairdresser Bernard Portelli, who styled Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1993 and tracks trends in First Lady style. “It took Laura Bush four years to finally look good. It’s taken Michelle Obama two months. She wears fake eyelashes that are beautiful. She can’t do those herself.”
