kal-penn

Well it looks like Kal Penn (aka Kumar) is moving from one House to another House. Penn who is well know from the hit show House is now the White House Office of Public Liaison.  I know what you must be thinking…this has to be a joke or a publicity stunt, but it’s true.  According to the Los Angeles Times, Penn “first raised the idea of joining the new administration in a brief personal conversation with Obama during the inaugural festivities in Washington. A conversation with trusted presidential advisor Valerie Jarrett followed, then came the job offer”. The star has been in support of President Obama since their 2007 run-in at a fundraiser.  Penn’s new job will focus on outreach to young people, arts professionals and the Asian American community. The breakout star who has been making $50,000 dollars per episode of House will now be making $70,000 yearly.  However, don’t count Penn out of acting just yet; he expects his job will be for 2 years, after which he plans on going back to acting.
