Usually it's considered common courtesy to give up your seat to a woman -- but Rudy Giuliani was reportedly none too pleased when he had to vacate his prized spot at Yankee Stadium ... to the First Lady.
The former mayor of New York City always sits near the Yankee dugout, but according to Page Six he was relegated to sit behind the photographers' box for Game 1 of the World Series because Michelle Obama was given the seats instead.
The paper says it was the White House that didn't want Giuliani near Obama, but get this: Michelle didn't even sit in the seats because of the weather and they remained unoccupied for the whole game.
Giuliani got his seat back for Game 2, which the Yankees won.

While hosting a children's health fair, Michelle Obama worked a hula hoop on the White House lawn yesterday.
The 45-year-old First Lady knows how to put her back into it.

Hope the White House couches are comfortable -- 'cause it seemed Barack Obama was in the dog house with Michelle last night after busting out an impromptu salsa with another woman!
It all went down at the Fiesta Latina event at the White House, when El Presidente suddenly turned into a virtual Don Juan DeMarco for a one-on-one salsa with Latin pop star, Thalia.
But when Obama returned to his seat and tried to talk to Michelle, the First Lady wasn't havin' it -- totally blowing the guy off!!!!
And you thought Hillary Clinton was cold...

First Lady Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama battled it out on the South Lawn of the White House on Wednesday.
The Obamas jokingly fenced with each other as part of an event promoting Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympics.
Luckily, no one was injured and neither private nor public health insurance was needed.

Their father is the President, their mom is the First Lady, and now the Obama girls have a title of their own: Junior Rangers at Grand Canyon National Park.
The First Family made the trip to Grand Canyon National Park over the weekend. Scott Kraynak -- the Park Ranger who gave the Obamas their tour -- told us Malia and Sasha were fast-tracked into the Jr. Rangers program since they only had one day to do it ... one of the perks you get for being the spawn of the most powerful man on the planet.
Scott said Sasha was made an honorary Coyote and Malia an honorary Scorpion -- the girls even received their very own Jr. Ranger patches for their accelerated accomplishments.
As for President Obama, Scott said he was genuinely interested in learning about the park and kept asking him all sorts of questions about it.
It's nice to have a President who takes time to learn about things.

Michelle and Malia Obama stepped out of the White House to satisfy one of the First Lady's biggest cravings: Hamburgers and shakes.
We're told the two chowed down on burgers, fries, onion rings and a variety of shakes -- cocoa, vanilla, toasted marshmallow and Milky Way -- at Good Stuff Eatery, the restaurant owned by former "Top Chef" contestant Spike Mendelsohn.
As for the Secret Service -- they just watched. No eating for them.
FYI -- the onion rings got the First Lady Seal of Approval.

Here's First Lady Michelle Obama and her new 'do at the White House last night (left) -- and former First Lady Laura Bush at an event recently (right).
One of them is 62-years-old.
We're just sayin'.

President Barack Obama has finally answered the question we've been asking his staff, to no avail: Who picks up Bo's business? Hint: It ain't the Secret Service.

Want to do "date night" like the Obamas? Just get your hands on an unlimited budget, a private Gulfstream jet, and the United States Secret Service. Dinner and a movie is for suckers.
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle hopped a jet to New York last night to see a Broadway play and then grabbed some dinner at a chic West Village restaurant.
The only problem, Barack critics say, is that it's the American taxpayers who footed the bill for the private planes that shuttled the Obamas back and forth (Air Force One got the night off). Obama sprung for the theater tix out of his own pocket.
With the economy in the crapper, the Prez can't even enjoy a night on the town without it being a national issue.

President Barack Obama may not be a "hockey mom" but he has got the wild parent on the sidelines thing down pat.
Prez Obama let his guard down as he cheered like crazy for his daughters Malia and Sasha -- who were playing soccer today in D.C.
How's that for pressure for the opposing team?

Wanda Sykes, intro for President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... the room filled with celebs who really don't have anything to do with the event but were dying to be seen ...
Wanda was ... good. Funniest joke was about Vice President Joe Biden. Seemed a little too friendly.
Obama was good too, but it all just seemed a little too sycophantic.

The most powerful woman in America ... and Michelle Obama, had dinner in NYC last night.
With apologies to Gayle King, it looks like Oprah has a new BFF.

Apparently President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle were trying to keep the whole Presidential dog thing under wraps -- and then we came along...
The White House had offered The Washington Post a "puppy exclusive" when the time came, according to The Washington Post! But last Friday, we got all the details.
-- the pup was coming from a Texas kennel
-- the kennel had sold Senator Ted Kennedy 3 Portuguese Water Dogs in the past, all from the same lineage
-- the dog the Obama's were getting is also from the same lineage as the Kennedy dogs
-- the Obama dog was originally sold to a private owner, who returned it
-- the dog was named Charlie, but the Obamas planned to rename it
-- the dog was going to be "re-homed" to the Obamas from the kennel, and presented to the Obamas by the Kennedy family
-- the reason it's important that the dog was "re-homed" is because the Obamas could not accept the dog as a gift, and re-homing averts the problem.
-- the dog will be officially presented to the Obamas by the Kennedys on Tuesday
So that's what we said Friday. And sure enough, The Post is now saying the dog was renamed Bo, after Bo Diddley.
We got a pic of a pooch that appears to be Bo. Today, The Post ran a pic of the doggie with the Prez, Michelle, Sasha and Malia.
BTW, there are reports that Ted Kennedy gave the puppy to the First Family as a gift -- untrue. It was re-homed by the kennel and the Kennedy family only facilitated the transfer.
So, we didn't break Watergate, but Puppygate -- we're all over it!

First Lady Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama is a total stiff!
The 45-year-old fashionista's wax figure (left) was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in DC on Tuesday.
Being married to the Prez requires a tough skin.
