Michelle's upcoming birthday bash~

[sheshe2]

WASHINGTON — — First lady Michelle Obama will be the guest of honor at a White House dance party next month when she turns "50 and fabulous," as she put it recently.

Her Jan. 17 birthday represents a personal milestone and a public moment to take stock of the Chicago native who has billed herself as the mom-in-chief, has established herself as a national spokeswoman for fitness and has earned consistently high marks in the polls, despite criticism from both the right and the left.

The White House has been sending out save-the-date emails for a Jan. 18 gala dubbed "Snacks & Sips & Dancing & Dessert," sources told the Tribune.

Guests are being told: Wear comfortable shoes, eat before you come and practice your dance moves. Who's invited and who'll entertain remain under wraps.

Obama hinted about her birthday plans during a Dec. 16 visit to a children's hospital, when a fellow Capricorn asked her about her big day. "It might involve some dancing," she told the girl. "A little Dougie."

You can watch the whole episode here—Fallon peppered his monologue with items like "With the First Lady here today, there’s a lot of additional security around the studio. On my way in, I was grabbed, frisked and groped - then I was like, 'Alright, Kathie Lee - enough. I have to get back to work''" and "Michelle Obama is actually here tonight to talk about her fitness initiative 'Let’s Move.' Meanwhile, Chris Christie will be on next week to talk about his initiative 'Let's Sit.'"
