Ann Romney Dines At Celebrity Hot Spot The Ivy
After appearing on The Tonight Show, Ann Romney decided to head over to The Ivy—a restaurant better for its celebrity sightings than what's on the (overpriced) menu.
Sure enough, TMZ caught her coming out of the restaurant and gave her the TMZ treatment, peppering her with questions about what she ate. It all feels very Lindsay Lohan circa 2006.
We're not quite sure why the wife of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney would choose such a glittery, Hollywood place to dine. Maybe there is something to the this weekend's SNL skit where Romney (played by Kate McKinnon) confesses that she's jealous that the Obamas get to hang out with Jay-Z and "Bey-on-say."
Or maybe Ann Romney is just really into grilled vegetable salads.
