Ryan Seacrest meets the Obamas?
Hollywood life is running a story: EXCLUSIVE! Ryan Seacrest Invites Sasha And Malia Obama To ‘American Idol’ During Dinner With Mom Michelle! in which they describe Ryan’s meeting with Michelle Obama at dinner the other night and inviting her to bring her daughters to American Idol.
Cue Seacrest. “Word got out that Ryan was in the building, and the daughters wanted to meet him. They noticed him right away,” says our source. “Which was arranged. Ryan invited the whole family to a future taping of American Idol, which they were over the moon about.
That sounds great, but it’s odd that Ryan didn’t mention it himself when he described the scene at Mozza and him trying to figure out who was at the restaurant, or that he didn’t know which of the girls was there with the First Lady.
So was Ryan playing coy when he related the story? Does he have a really bad memory? Or did the insider not get all the facts straight?
According to Ryan’s own website, this is what happened:
News spread quickly Monday night when First Lady Michelle Obama and her massive security detail ventured into the sister restaurant next door to where Ryan was eating dinner. While Mrs. Obama was with one of her daughters (not sure if it’s Sasha or Malia) grabbing pizza at Pizzeria Mozza, Ryan was breaking bread with co-workers at Osteria Mozza.
