Michelle Obama always draws an A-list crowd.
But it seems Tuesday morning Hollywood won over Washington — at least when it came to posing for photos!

After the First Lady’s Monday night Los Angeles fundraiser that was attended by Ellen DeGeneres, Portia DeRossi, Drew Barrymore and Ryan Phillippe, she had a continued meeting with the stars at a breakfast event in Northern California, attended by Jennifer Garner.
But despite it being Mrs. Obama’s day, a source tells RadarOnline.com that the attending crowd were more interested in snagging pics with another high profile wife – that of movie star, Ben Affleck!
“It was funny, people were literally skirting Michelle Obama to get their photo taken with Jennifer Garner,’ the source says. “I guess star power beats out politics when it comes to the photo album!”
Garner, for her part, was ever gracious though, and quick to bring everyone back to the point of the fundraiser, and give props to Mrs. O.

“The First Lady did a great job of putting into context everything her husband has accomplished in the last couple of years,” Garner said after the event that was held at the Claremont Hotel Club & Spa in Berkeley, Ca.
Going on to say that Michelle got “the room fired up for the next few years,” for her husband President Barack Obama, according to the Oakland Tribune.

The actress was seated at a table with the Mayor of Oakland, Jean Quan, and ticket prices for the breakfast ranged from $1,000 to $25,000. Monday night’s fundraiser raised a reported $1 million.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Obama had her own Hollywood experience on Monday when she shot a guest appearance for the hit Nickelodeon show iCarly.

I find that hard to believe that Jennifer Garner would still the spotlight from Mrs. O. The writer if this piece is exagerating and probably didn't even attend the event. How said is it to hate someone you've never met.

It really bothers me that the first lady is always trying to be glitzy when America is in a deep recession. It shows bad judgment on her part, IMHO. She really needs to do something productive instead of show off her expensive clothes.
