But Obama made another stop that evening, a private meet-and-greet in the home of Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel, who's a partner in the powerful Endeavor Agency and brother of Democratic Congressman Rahm Emanuel. A small clatch of celebrities and entertainment industry bigwigs - Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Normal Lear, Christine Lahti and her husband, Studio 60 producer Thomas Schlamme - came out to meet Obama, who hasn't officially...
