ANTHONY CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY WITH OBAMA HONOUR

MARC ANTHONY celebrated his 41st birthday on Wednesday (16Sep09) in the company of President BARACK OBAMA when the U.S. leader presented the salsa star with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award.
Anthony and his wife Jennifer Lopez, who are both of Puerto Rican heritage, attended the organisation's 32nd Annual Awards Gala in Washington, D.C., honouring the singer's successful career.
He was handed the prestigious honour by Obama - and the president had the crowd bursting into laughter with some news about the Institute's chairwoman, Republican Nydia Velazquez.
After congratulating Anthony, Obama told him, "Nydia has a crush on you. I tell you, J.Lo's not going to like that!"
