Actor Kal Penn to join Obama administration
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
A White House spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that the young actor is set to join the Obama administration as an associate director in the Office of Public Liaison.
The Indo-American actor, whose real name is Kalpen Modi, will serve as a liaison connecting the Obama administration with arts and entertainment groups, as well as with the Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities.
Though he rose to fame in the Harold and Kumar stoner comedies and the Van Wilder films, Penn graduated to more serious fare, including the drama The Namesake and TV shows such as 24 and House.
SHAKIRA JOINS WHITE HOUSE HISPANIC EDUCATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE
President Barack Obama has thanked Colombian pop star Shakira for joining his committee to provide the best education for Hispanics living in America.
Shakira has long been involved with educational issues in her homeland through her Barefoot Foundation, and has ensured students in Haiti and South Africa have access to nutritious meals as well as educational and psychological support services.
Yeah Education just spews out of her....................
And her work with children has caught the eye of the American leader, who has made her a member of his Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
thank you Malissa for the Shakira tip
