President-elect Barack Obama has already filled his cabinet with Washington veterans like Hillary Clinton – but could there be room for Hollywood in his administration?
Anne Hathaway is just one star who would love a job in the Obama White House.
"I would want to be head babysitter," the Bride Wars star tells PEOPLE. "I'd love to be First Babysitter, absolutely."
Hathaway, 26, is not the only celebrity who would jump at the chance to spend time with Obama's daughters, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. High School Musical star Corbin Bleu says he would happily perform for the first daughters.
"I'll just go up and do performances for his kids all day and just keep them entertained," he tells PEOPLE. "They seem like really sweet girls. They seem very well mannered. So I would be First Entertainer."
American Idol runner-up David Archuleta echoed that sentiment. "I would give the girls music lessons," he tells PEOPLE. "Probably not piano lessons, because I'm far from the greatest pianist, but voice lessons."
Stars in Washington PEOPLE also spoke to other stars who'd happily work for Obama. Here are some of their job pitches:
• "If I'm the Secretary of State, does that mean I get to wear a secretary outfit?," Katy Perry says. "[I'd] probably [want] that position just for the fashion!"
• "[I'd be] hip-hop ambassador," says rapper Common. "I could deal with social issues like not having parents. I'd work with that and pay attention specifically to the children."

• "I would like to be the official barista making Barack Obama chai soy lattes," the Office's Kate Flannery tells us. "I love that he drinks that."
• "I would want to be there when he writes his speeches," Desperate Housewives actress Andrea Bowen tells PEOPLE. "I would be want to be a proofreader, because I think his speeches are so amazing, they feel so off-the-cuff."

“If I’m the Secretary of State, does that mean I get to wear a secretary outfit?,” Katy Perry says. “[I’d] probably [want] that position just for the fashion!”
My god, I sincerely hope she was being tongue in cheek when she made that comment.
I hope and pray that Obama doesn’t abuse his kids by exposing them to the Harlots of Hollywood at such a young age.
After Miss Hathaway realized that babysitting might require her to help with homework way beyond her first grade education, she changed her mind:
“Ummm like I’d like to be the Secretary of the Interior, you know, the official decorator, ummm you know, because like the White House is so ummm white. It’s time we painted it a cheerier color like ummm pink, in honor of that great gal Medea Benjamin (you know, I loved her in that movie Private Benjamin, but am so glad she gave up umm like her gross warring ways to give peace a chance). And, all that old furniture.... what’s wrong with this country? Can’t our, you know, new metrosexual president at least have new furniture in the building. I saw some great stuff on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I could make that old building a new Presidential Pad.”
You mean he doesn’t write his own “off-the cuff” speeches? :)
Their publicists should insist that these yahoos never never speak.
She is Sarah Jessica Parker ugly.
Idiots...all
This from a person who was the girlfriend of a multimillion dollar church thief.
Call me a stickler, but isn't the problem that the parents aren't around to help the kids out not that the kids didn't have parents?
Typical liberal intellectualism - better to feel right than to do right.
Does she still get a pass now that there are heavy rumors that she plays for the other team?
Ah... Monica's former position at the White House.
Attention whore. Like the Secret Service would need her help.
Hey Ann, why don’t you go visit your boyfriend in jail for doing a Bernie swindling people out of millions.
Millions that you took full advantage of living the high life.
And she probably not only enjoyed the fun money but it’s said she may have been the one to drop a dime on him when the Feds were closing in.
Jerk.
When there was an awards thing on TV, I was like who is that, the female Joker from Batman?
Man, that’s a nice photo. Too bad it’s completely photoshopped.
Ann doesn’t get that beautiful skin tone anytime in the life.
She’s pasty faced through and through.
Guilty!
Ann just wants the Feds to back off of her and her former squeeze!
...”I would want to be head babysitter,” the Bride Wars star tells PEOPLE.”...
Actually, I wouldn’t mind if she would be my “head” babysitter...
I dunno ... she’s getting weirder-looking all the time. Maybe it’s the “Heath Ledger’s Joker” makeup job, but her face just seems to be getting smaller and smaller in relation to her mouth.
