Hillary to Barack: “I HAVE JUNGLE FEVER.”

Yeah, I know I’m about half a week late on this news but whatever. Last Friday, I woke up to find headlines and footage of Hillary and Barack making nice in public. You know what’s worse than PDA? . . . fake PDA. Then again, it wasn’t as if they were frenching or anything–just a hug here, a whisper of sweet nothings there. I mean, just because last Thursday’s live CNN debate was in the Kodak Theatre, I don’t think the two should be vying for best actor/actress anytime soon–even though the debate was as star-studded as the actual Oscars themselves (which will be held February 23rd with Jon Stewart hosting). Leave it to the Oscars to prevail in the face of such adversity as the Writers’ Strike, which killed the Golden Globes and, from what I hear, is nearing an end.

So while we’re already mixing business with pleasure or politics with Hollywood, here’s a rundown of who’s supporting who.

In the Obama camp, we have Oprah (duh), George Clooney (that so-called ONE person who can make a difference in Darfur), Matt Damon (who took time out of his busy schedule, which comprises of making marginally funny Sarah Silverman rap skits about being f**ked by her, to show up), and Kate Walsh (former Grey’s Anatomy firecrotch turned Private Practice frontliner).

On Hillary’s side, we have Barbra Streisand (who probably reminisces about the misty, water-colored memories of the Clinton administration), Steven Spielberg (surprisingly enough), The Nanny (Fran Drescher), and Michael Douglas (who clearly perpetuates his track record for liking disturbingly powerful and unsettling women: Demi Moore as the manipulative corporate woman in Disclosure and Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct). Not that I’m directly likening Hillary to these big-screen persona, since they obviously one-up her in sex appeal. But who needs sex appeal when you have America–Ferrera–on your side? On Friday, the Ugly Betty star joined Chelsea at a Hillary Rally in California.
