Kal Penn Of "House" Will Be Working At The White House!
Kal Penn is the witty,funny,& adorably cute Indian-American actor who just landed a job in the Obama administration.He played on "House",until his character committed suicide last night.But,I really like him in both of the "Harold & Kumar" movies that he has done.He played a big role in the Obama campaign.And,apparently, it has paid off!Kal Penn has been given a job at the White House.
Here's more on that from The N.Y. Daily News:
"Penn, 31, will become associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison, administration officials confirmed Tuesday. The Indian-American film star will be an emissary to the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities, along with arts and entertainment groups.
Penn campaigned extensively throughout the country for President Obama last year and was a hit on college campuses.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Penn explained why he decided to leave "House." His character inexplicably committed suicide in an episode that aired Monday night.
"I was incredibly honored a couple of months ago to get the opportunity to go work in the White House," Penn explained. "I got to know the President and some of the staff during the campaign and had expressed interest in working there."
Penn described the office as the "front door" of the White House, saying he'll be responsible for doing outreach with the American public.
"They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House," he said. "It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign."
Penn gained fame as the co-star of the raucous and profane "Harold and Kumar" stoner comedies that have become a cult favorite with fans worldwide. The first installment, "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle," followed the misadventures of two New Jersey guys with a pot-stoked craving for their favorite burgers.
He famously smoked weed with a fictional President Bush in the sequel, "Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the article in its entirety here.

Gisele Bündchen & Tom Brady Almost Literally Had A Shotgun Wedding!
When two members of the paparazzi took unauthorized wedding photos of Gisele Bündchen,they almost got shot.Talk about a shotgun wedding!Gisele & Tom Brady really want to maintain their privacy by any means necessary.I don't think that it was right for these photographers to invade their privacy on such a special day.By the same token,their actions did not warrant being shot at.That was ridiculous!No one's privacy is worth someone's life!
Here's more from The Guardian:
"Gisele Bündchen, the Brazilian supermodel, and her husband, the American football star Tom Brady, have taken the task of keeping their wedding photos exclusive to extremes, it has emerged.
A pair of celebrity photographers had the back window of their Suzuki SUV shot out by security guards when they tried to flee with snatched stills and videos of the happy couple's big day at Bündchen's villa in Mal Pais, Costa Rica.
The Boston Herald, which claims to have exclusive pictures of the wedding that it plans to publish tomorrow, said the paparazzi were from the INF photo agency, and were hiding in bushes near Bündchen's beachfront home taking pictures of the event when they were caught by the newlyweds' security guards."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
