OBAMA BITS: Bicycle outfit clowned; fashionista fund raiser; J.Lo's visit to Capitol Hill.
*US Weekly's fashion police have cited Obama for an outfit he wore during a recent bike ride in Chicago along the shores of Lake Michigan last Sunday. (Click here to see ) Along with wearing a helmet, the magazine described him as also sporting "ill-fitting jeans, a tucked in golf shirt and big tennis shoes." His response? "I got a hard time from all sorts of blogs who said I looked like Urkel," he said during a recent fundraiser. "But I wanted to make sure that the children who saw that picture knew that even the Democratic nominee for president wears a helmet when he goes biking."
*Maybe he can pick up some fashion tips from a crew of famous fashionistas who are supporting his historic run for president with a $1,000-a-head fund-raiser in NYC tomorrow (6/17) at the Sikkema Jenkins art gallery (West 22nd St.). Calvin Klein, Andre Leon Talley, Anna Wintour and Wintour's boyfriend, Shelby Bryan, are chairing An Evening with Michelle Obama, reports Page Six. For $2,300, guests can get their photo taken with the senator's wife. For $10,000, there's a dinner after at the "home of Calvin Klein," which is probably his triplex in one of the Richard Meier buildings on Perry Street.
*Jennifer Lopez's recent fact-finding trip to Capitol Hill included a stop inside of Obama's senate offices. "Tuesday afternoon, Ms. Lopez was on the Hill with her sister to meet with staff members of several senators to discuss issues she is interested in, such as health care and education," her rep told People. "She did visit Obama's office, but the senator was not there. She did not meet him, but did discuss health care with members of his staff." Obama's rep said the new mother of twins "just came in for the meeting and departed. It was not campaign-related."
