OHMYGOSSIP — Don Cheadle once stole a “finial from a lamp at the White House”. The 58-year-old actor admitted while he’s “never” taken anything from the hotel, he did swipe a decorative topping as a souvenir and it’s on display in his own home. Asked about the best thing he ever took from a hotel, he told Empire magazine: “I have never! I would never! But I did steal a finial from a lamp at the White House. “I don’t think anyone’s coming to get me for it. After what’s been happening there in the past administration? “I don’t think they’d have a leg to stand on. Where do I keep it? I put it on a lamp in my house.” Don also revealed the most famous person in his phone book, and there’s another White House connection. He said: “Obama? I do sometimes text him, about golf stuff.” And despite some famous friends, the AGE-year-old actor admitted he has been starstruck before, including one very memorable event. He added: “I met the Dalai Lama. I was given an award by the Nobel laureates – me and George Clooney – for work we were doing around the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. “Gorbachev was also there. It was just a room where you’re like, ‘Why am I here?’ ” Although Don didn’t have a hotel story about thievery, he did have a tale to tell about a couple of other very unfortunate incidents. Asked about the strangest place he’s thrown up, he replied: “Hmm. There was the InterContinental hotel in Toronto where I almost threw up inside the elevator, but I think I kept it together. “But the strangest place was in the bathtub – in another InterContinental Hotel, in Manila – because I had food poisoning. “I got in the empty bathtub because I felt this was about to be a full experience.”
