"I guess I was thinking that they would have pate and this super fancy stuff, so we're trying to eat before we go, just in case they didn't have good food," the actress told Chelsea Handler. But Union was in for a surprise when she arrived at the White House with boyfriend and Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade. "We get there and [Obama's] got Jay-Z playing and Janet Jackson, potato salad and baked beans and we're like, 'Yeah!' So we ate again."
