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."

...”They astound me!”
Me, too...
Can we get People Mag permanently banned from FR?
What a waste of bandwidth and storage space.

I think Ann needs some more makeup.
Seriously, I don't know who this dingbat is, but this comment is so typical.
These are the same people who are impressed when people inform them that they listen to NPR, went to an Indigo Girls concert, read the New York Times Book Review, etc.
They are impressed with themselves for participating in these mundane activities, so naturally they are impressed with others who so cleverly participate.
"I love that he drinks chai soy lattes, because I drink chai soy lattes!" - God, what an imbecile.
Hence, your name! ROFL!! Very good!
“Ann just wants the Feds to back off of her and her former squeeze!”
Oh the Feds already locked him up. Less than 48 hours before they picked him up, the word is she called him on the phone and broke up with him. My timing could be a little off but it was miraculously within days.
So now she’s free to whore herself out to the next highest bidder.
Why should the Obamas let a Hollywood balloon head anywhere near their children? They are not even letting the girls go to a public school.
I’m sure Obama would love to have a bunch of white servants.
So they've got her dead to rights if she was in on the scam
That’s ironic.
I’d like to baby-sit Anne Hathaway.
“Naughty, naughty, Anne. I think you need a good spanking.”
The Obamafawning is tiresome, but I’m glad the media is not saying anything negative about his girls. They can’t help who their parents are. I am about Chelsey Clinton’s age and remember the comments about her. That was just wrong.
Anne Hathaway is quite attractive...and quite a moron.
Post #33 - ROFL!
Well who confesses to their diary that the guy they are shacked up with is most likely swindling people for millions?
Her diary would be all about HER. “Tonight we went to La Chez a mucho expensive restaurant. The champagne was divine and cost $700 a bottle. We had two!”
Garbage like that.
The Feds wouldn’t have anything on her that way. Now she calls them up right before calling this guy and says, “Yeah he’s dirty. Blah, blah, blah.”
She then never faces the piper. Bottom line, the timing of this was way too convenient for her. And I’d love to hear what this guy has to say about her now.
This is not the pasty faced version! Heinous.
I change my vote to “not guilty!”
Ann can hav the babies Obama ; I’ll take baby Palin!
continuing from the article: “I would be want to be a proofreader, because I think his speeches are so amazing, they feel so off-the-cuff.”
it’s obvius SOMEONE needs a proofreader (or grammar lessons)
Leave the kids out of it, already. They’ve been (or are being) propagandized into good little marxist princesses, much as our kids are being turned into the proles of the future!
