"We might not have married. The fact that we agreed on Stevie was part of the essence of our courtship." Wonder was presented with the 2nd annual Gershwin Award for Lifetime Achievement from the Library of Congress at a special concert hosted by the Obamas Wednesday at the White House. "Tonight it is a huge thrill for me as we honor a man whose music and lyrics I fell in love with when I was a little girl," Michelle Obama said prior to introducing the singer. "Years later, I discovered what Stevie meant about love. Barack and I chose the song 'You and I' as our wedding song." After receiving the award Wonder took the stage and thanked his family and the Obamas. He then spoke about the positive changes and unity he's confident President Obama will bring to America. Wonder says to the President; "... I'm looking forward to you doing that, so that in my lifetime I can write some more songs about love, about unity, and real songs of passion. You know, maybe I'll be a part of creating some more of those babies."

Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson says she won't need a lucky charm when she competes on "Dancing with the Stars."   "I don't believe in lucky charms," she tells "The Insider." "I have never had one and I probably never will. I am my lucky charm." The 17-year-old, who is the youngest-ever competitor on the hit ABC series, is having a scary day when "The Insider" visits her rehearsal. Her professional partner, Mark Ballas is teaching her the salsa and it is her most difficult dance to date. "The scary part is letting myself go," she admits. But other than her bout of nerves, Shawn is doing great. To date, she has experienced no injuries. Of course, her Olympic gymnastic training requires similar intense training, so the fact that she and Mark are in the rehearsal hall five hours a day is not as big a strain on her as it is with others. But that is where the similarity ends. "It is all new to me," she adds. "When you go outside your comfort zone, it is hard to get adjusted, but Mark is helping me." Another first for Shawn was walking the red carpet at the premiere of the 'Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.' She tells "The Insider" that she is single, so while she didn't bring a boyfriend, Mark walked the red carpet with his girlfriend, former "American Idol" contestant Joanna Pacitti. "We've been together for awhile. I am the happiest I have ever been." Mark tells "The Insider" of his relationship with Joanna. "She is so supportive. She is so fun." "Dancing with the Stars" premieres Monday, March 9 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
