Morning Brew – President Obama sends Billie Jean King and Caitlin Cahow to Sochi

Good morning!

The best thing ever happened on The Voice last night when Christina Aguilera joined Lady Gaga on stage for “Do What U Want With My Body.”

Divas!

Anna Pulley posits that more people believe in Santa Claus than they do in bisexuality.

President Obama is sending Billie Jean King to the Olympic opening ceremonies and out hockey player Caitlin Cahow for the closing ceremonies in Sochi.

Caitlin told USA Today:

“It’s obviously a statement that’s being made, but I think it’s an incredibly respectful one. Basically, the White House is highlighting Americans who know what it means to have freedoms and liberties under the constitution. That’s really what we’re representing in Sochi and it’s not at all different from what’s espoused in the spirit of Olympism. So I think it’s just a great group of people. I can’t believe I’ve been named one of them because it’s a remarkable roster and I just think that we’re going to represent what the best America can be. Hopefully, it will unify all of Team USA and send a message of love and acceptance to the world.”
