HBO's Bill Maher was spewing some extraordinary hatred for his fellow countrymen again Friday night, this time claiming that he doesn't "trust Americans to do the right thing or make the right choices" because "[t]hey're just too f***ing dumb." Why does he feel this way? Because not everyone is going to vote for Barack Obama. Yes, folks, if you don't vote for the Messiah, it has nothing to do with the issues, or whether the junior senator from Illinois isn't qualified, or even because you think John McCain is a better candidate. According to Maher, if you don't vote for...

A man, they say, can be judged by his friends. If that's the case, then Barack Obama can surely be judged by George Clooney. The UK Daily Mail reported this week that the "Ocean's Eleven" actor regularly speaks with and text messages the presumptive Democratic nominee, advising him on everything from fashion to foreign policy. "George has been giving him advice on things such as presentation, public speaking and body language and he also emails him constantly about policy, especially the Middle East," stated a Democratic Party insider. "George is pushing him to be more 'balanced' on issues such as...

Getting Angelina Jolie to sign onto a film often makes it a guaranteed winner, but can she do the same for presidential politics? The lush-lipped actress, who, even during this election year, receives about as much press as John McCain and Barack Obama, is currently being courted by both candidates. But the politically minded actress has yet to endorse either. In a statement given to the entertainment trade magazine Variety, the new mom says, “I have not decided on a candidate.” Jolie says she is looking at both Obama’s and McCain’s international policies. “I am waiting to see the commitments...

Barack Obama is to defy the critics who have branded him a shallow celebrity politician by holding the most star-studded political convention in American history. A list obtained by The Sunday Telegraph shows an unprecedented number of Hollywood personalities and rock stars being lined to play a role in the Denver convention, where Mr Obama will formally receive the party's nomination at the end of the month. The decision to let some of them take to the centre stage is a calculated gamble by Mr Obama to stick to his guns in courting the celebrity vote. It comes after his...

Hollywood stars have thrown their support and abundant cash behind US presidential candidate Barack Obama, whose historic White House bid could easily become the stuff of movies. The fundraising gala on Tuesday in Los Angeles marked a decided push by Obama to shore up private funding for his race against Republican John McCain. The story of Obama, the son of a Kenyan father and a mother from Kansas, who could now become the first black US president, resonates in the entertainment industry, which has typically voted Democratic. The event, in which top tickets went for more than US$30 000, drew...

Los Angeles(Reuters) - Many Hollywood celebrities who had supported Hillary Clinton are rallying behind Barack Obama, pledging money and star power to the Democrat's U.S. presidential bid before a big fundraiser next week. Experts say that since Clinton conceded defeat this month after a grueling Democratic nominating contest, celebrities have quickly united behind Obama. The result, they said, could be a campaign cash windfall for the senator from Illinois, but star support doesn't necessarily translate directly to votes. Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior scholar at the University of Southern California, said that once a politician becomes known, voters look for...

Barack Obama will be welcomed back to Hollywood on June 24 for his first fundraiser in L.A. since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. The event is likely to draw the largest congregation of celebrities and local heavy-hitters attending a political event since late January, when Obama met with Sen. Hillary Clinton at their initial one-on-one debate at the Kodak Theatre. That televised confrontation, which launched the final stretch of the long-fought Democratic nominating race, drew showbiz notables including Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Leonardo DiCaprio, Pierce Brosnan, Stevie Wonder as well as a who's who of state and local...

The Democratic industry plans to back the Illinois senator in the leading role.IF THERE is one thing Hollywood understands, it's casting. That's why the industry's Democratic activists are rallying behind Illinois Sen. Barack Obama as November's leading man, with some still open to the idea of a supporting role for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. (Sen. John McCain will be lucky if he gets the walk-on part for which he now seems to be angling in his search for Hollywood dollars.) Obama's support has grown in Hollywood throughout the campaign (recent numbers showed him exceeding Clinton in dollars raised, albeit by...

In an obvious attempt to be ignored for a while, Tom Hanks with no fanfare, news release or hoopla, late tonight put up a video on his MySpace page endorsing Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for president. Had it come on, say, a Monday morning, the endorsement by the popular and widely-respected Hanks would have caused seismic shifts on those rock shelves that underlie Hollywood and promise to slide the place into the ocean someday. Thanks to The Times' dauntless Tina Daunt, The Ticket, however, is right on top of this major international political story. "BEWARE," says the headline on Hanks'...
