Stay away! The Obamas have been in the spotlight constantly since Barack Obama started his presidential campaign |
Michelle Obama has banned celebrity socialising for her daughters Malia (10) and Sasha (7), as she attempts to forge a normal family life in the White House.
The girls' final encounter for now with A-list stars came on the night of Barack Obama's inauguration.
The Jonas Brothers boy band made a surprise appearance in the White House as Maliau00a0 and Sashau00a0 explored their new home and their parents danced at the inauguration balls.
But family friends told Us Weekly magazine that Michelle is "trying to keep them grounded" and insisting on no special treatment as they begin their new lives in Washington.

That means an end to hanging out with celebrities such as Beyonce, whom the girls were thrilled to meet during the campaign, according to their father.

The prioritySo, after the excitement of the election, the move from Chicago and the inauguration, Michelle's priority is to make sure her daughters settle in well at school.
"Michelle is spending a lot of time talking to the girls about the new school and she's reached out to fellow parents," another friend says.
Although the Obamas did not speak directly to the magazine for the report, they posed for a happy family portrait and authorised friends and staff to be quoted, on and off the record.
Michelle has reportedly confided to friends that the biggest plus for their family set-up is that Obama can have breakfast and dinner with his wife and daughters a luxury he rarely enjoyed during the previous two years on the campaign trail.
