She’s already played a fictional American president, but Geena Davis says she’s really aiming to step into the role of a real-life former first lady.

“I’ve long wanted to play Eleanor Roosevelt,” the “Commander in Chief” star told Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) when she sat down with the congresswoman on Wednesday for the Motion Picture Association of America’s (MPAA) “Evening With…” series.

Davis, a former model, said she wouldn’t have much trouble slipping into the role, since like former President Franklin Roosevelt’s spouse, she’s very tall.

“It’s been difficult to find somebody to write the exact right story about it that would be very arresting,” Davis said.

Hanabusa says Memorial Day has lost meaning since Congress pegged it to last Monday in May.

Rob Lowe is slated to play former President Kennedy in a television movie based on a book by Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard.

The “West Wing” alum will portray the late commander in chief in “Killing Kennedy,” which is poised to debut on the National Geographic channel later this year, according to Variety.

The made-for-TV flick is timed to hit airwaves around the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s death on Nov. 22.

“Big Love” actress Ginnifer Goodwin has reportedly been tapped for the role of first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. “Gossip Girl” star Michelle Trachtenberg will play Marina Oswald, the widow of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.

First lady Michelle Obama urged donors to “max out” their contributions at a pair of posh Manhattan fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee on Wednesday night.

“We need you to keep on writin' those checks!,” she said, according to a pool report of one of the events. “And if you haven't maxed out, you know what's my motto: Max out! Let's say it again, max out! And if you've maxed out, get your friends to give and max out!”

The first fundraiser was at the Park Avenue private residence of clothing designer Tory Burch on the East side of Manhattan. About 100 people paid between $5,000 to $25,000 for the event. The second event was an LGBT Gala, where approximately 350 people paid up to $32,400 to see the first lady speak.

Actress Julianne Moore, designer Vera Wang, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour were among those in attendance. Read more...

If come 2016 former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) decides to run for president, he already has at least one staffer raring to go.

“I think the world of Jeb,” former President George W. Bush’s deputy press secretary, Tony Fratto, tells ITK, “and I think he would make a terrific president.”

Fratto’s now a managing partner at D.C.-based communications firm Hamilton Place Strategies.

“I think if he does run, it would probably be, one of the only people — no, I would say the only person to pull me back out of the private sector to help is Jeb.”

He quickly added, “I have no inside knowledge right now that he will [run], but I hope he does because I think he has a lot to offer.”

Rep. David Cicilline (D) is putting his Rhode Island digs on the market.

The five-bedroom brick colonial home, reportedly being sold by the 51-year-old congressman, is listed for $849,000.

An online listing for the property describes the home as “handsomely detailed both inside and out.”

The 1927 home boasts an updated cook’s kitchen, a two-car garage, “landscaped grounds with stone patio,” and central air conditioning.

At 99, Rep. Rush Holt has one high-achieving mom.

The New Jersey Democrat’s nonagenarian mother, Helen Holt, recently received an honorary doctorate from West Virginia University, and the congressman was right there to cheer her on.

Holt says of the ceremony earlier this month, “Her eyesight is not good, so she did not read her speech. She thought in advance about what she wanted to say, so she was a little concerned at the podium she would draw a blank.”

So how’d Mama Holt end up doing as she accepted her honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters?

“She brought the house down,” Holt exclaims. “She got a standing ovation. A lot of people thought it was special because she’s 99 years old. I’m not sure the university had given a degree to anybody in that group before.”

President Obama joked about a lipstick stain on his collar during an event on Tuesday, saying he didn’t want to get in “trouble” with the first lady.

Asked on Twitter if he had been forewarned, Graham said: “No, if he had I would have called the Syrians.”
