Jennifer Lopez Talks to Barack Obama's Staff
Call her Jenny on the Hill.

Jennifer Lopez met with Barack Obama's staff this week as she toured Washington to talk about issues close to her heart.

"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 says. "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."

The mother of twins, Max and Emme, had a straightforward meeting, according to Obama's spokesman.

"She just came in for the meeting and departed," says the spokesman. He adds: "It was not campaign-related."
