Over Heard At Lunch: 10-12-16

**So Does Leo the Noodle**
Actor Leonardo DiCaprio also took time off last week from his busy schedule — making politically relevant movies and dating supermodels — to drop in at the White House for an important cause. Leo was there to discuss “Before the Flood,” his new documentary about climate change, with President Obama. The Daily Beast reported that DiCaprio threw a little bit of shade to Donald Trump, who has been known to scoff at the climate-change concept.

**Rob Lowe Named Ambassador — of Teeth?**
“The West Wing” and “St. Elmo’s Fire” alum Rob Lowe is becoming an ambassador. No, not the kind who deals with diplomatic relations. Lowe will serve as ambassador for the Crest Healthier Smiles Project, a nationwide education program that works with Feeding America to donate toothpaste to those who need it most.

**CNN’s Brown to Tie Knot, Says The Knot**
CNN anchor Pamela Brown has some breaking news of her own — she’s engaged. The 32-year-old said yes to her boyfriend Adam Wright. Wright’s proposal, Brown exclusively told TheKnot.com, came with him dressed in a tux and Pamela’s beloved dog Bubs wearing a bow tie, to which the ring box was attached. Brown’s ring is quite the stunner: a diamond solitaire set on a gold band from the early 20th century. The wedding locale is likely to be her home state of Kentucky, with plenty of bourbon, naturally. First to break the news via Twitter was Brown’s excited co-worker Wolf Blitzer.

**How VIP Can You Get? A D.C. Famous Finds Out**
In what might be the best “oops” moment of this column, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-New York) has committed a D.C. famous (senators, congressmen, cabinet secretaries, etc.) faux pas. DCist reported that the White House was hosting an event before the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The event was delayed, leaving many guests hanging out in line. Rep. Jackson-Lee was overheard questioning whether there was a VIP line. A person ahead of her turned around and quipped, “You’re in it.” The voice was Oprah’s. Oops.

**Professor Macklemore Stops by White House**
We can’t help but wonder if he got that suit at the thrift shop. Rapper Macklemore, behind hits like “Thrift Shop” and “Downtown,” stopped by the White House Oct. 4 to visit with Vice President Joe Biden and launch a documentary by MTV News about opioid addiction. Macklemore tweeted that the forever-cool VP was “diggin the rattlers” — the rapper’s snakeskin boots.

**‘Mean Girls’ Musical to Debut in D.C.—So Fetch!**
Tina Fey’s “Mean Girls” musical is going to debut in D.C. this fall before heading for Broadway. Fey is collaborating with her composer husband, Jeffrey Richmond, and with Tony Award-nominated lyricist Nell Benjamin, who recently worked on “Legally Blonde: The Musical.” Hopefully, the musical will premiere at the Warner Theatre, where all the “cool” moms can enjoy a cocktail while they watch. In the meantime, we’ll try and stop trying to make fetch happen.

**Two Dozen for the Obamas**
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary last week. The president posted on Facebook a photo of the two with the caption: “Dancing through 24 years. Happy anniversary.” The Obamas, who wed on Oct. 3, 1992, marked the occasion in Manhattan with dinner at Cosme, a Mexican restaurant in the Flatiron District. Felicidades!
