“House” star robbed at gunpoint

Kal Penn, who starred in the TV series House and the Harold & Kumar movies was robbed at gunpoint in Washington D.C. on Tuesday. The thief stole Penn’s wallet and two cell phones. The Secret Service has been called in on the case because one of the cell phones belongs to the U.S. goverment. Penn is currently on a break from acting and is serving as a  member of President Barack Obama’s staff as the Associate Director in the Office of Public Engagement. Sources told TMZ that White House communications stopped service on the stolen phone, which they claim had no official numbers, and have issued Penn a new cell. ~Alexandra Heilbron
