On Tuesday night (April 28), there was a dinner at the White House. President Barack Obama was there, of course, as was his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama. The dinner was ostensibly to honor Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his wife, Akie Abe. That's all well and good. But the bulk of our collective attention--at least among the Instagram-literate public--was to be heaped on people who hold no public office. Ciara, she of "Goodies" fame, arrived clad in a champagne-colored gown, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in tow. Last August, Ciara and Future ended their engagement; they have a song together. Soon after photos of the executive branch date surfaced, Ciara fans flooded the Beast Mode rapper's Instagram comments with football emojis, presumably in an attempt to provoke Future.
