Cribs: White House edition

Sure, MTV’s “Cribs” is great and all -- it’s always fun to tour Mariah Carey’s palatial closet, or ponder why so many rappers have aquariums -- but C-SPAN has an even juicier home show on the way: a tour of Barack Obama's future home.

On Dec. 14, the station will kick off "White House Week," a seven-night series that includes chats with historians, White House staff (who probably know more dirt than anybody), and the First Family.

First Lady Laura Bush will give a tour, a la "Cribs." Let’s hope she shows us what’s in her fridge –- and her newest rims.

So set your TiVo. The series kicks off Dec. 14, 9 p.m. ET on C-SPAN. Further installments will air nightly, at 9 p.m. ET through Dec. 20.

A preview is available now, on CSPAN’s website.
