obama super bowl guest list

Jennifer Lopez has scored a place on the guest list for President Obama's Super Bowl party at the White House.

The American Idol judge and her husband Marc Anthony have been invited alongside elected leaders from Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to watch the game on Sunday.

An official said about 100 people had been asked to join the Obamas, including White House staff, family and friends and other members of Congress.

The US President said he'd go to the Super Bowl in Texas, if his team, the Bears, won the NFC title against the Green Bay Packers. But Obama's side lost and the Packers are taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Obama previously said he wouldn't take sides in the Super Bowl. But he visited Penn State University this week and told a crowd: "I've got some love for the Steelers."
