It’s not as unusual as one thinks to see Ole Miss mentioned in celebrity news, however, that doesn’t mean the mentions aren’t interesting.

From seeing an Associated Press photo of an Ole Miss bag with President Obama’s label attached to it to country singer Keith Urban wearing an Ole Miss hat at a recent concert, famous people being photographed with Ole Miss swag seems to be a frequent occurrence these days.

The latest to show up online involves pop diva, Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes Leon. The recent high school graduate was photographed by Splash News while attending her prom. The photo is the run of the mill celeb’s daughter spotted standing around with a couple of friends, but any Ole Miss alum will instantly be drawn to a very familiar bag one of those friends is holding. The navy blue tote with a Lyceum crest logo and University script is unmistakable.

Now the buzz is all about who is the guy holding the bag and how does he know Madonna’s daughter? Ole Miss alums are known for an extensive circle of famous friends, so having an Ole Miss orientation tote show up in a photo of a pop singer’s daughter just adds to the cool factor our University has. Maybe one day we will find out more about the guy holding the bag.
