Is will.i.am Trying To Get A Spot In Obama's Cabinet?
 

beyonceyeswecan.jpgWill.i.am is once again wrangling celebrities for an inspirational video based on one of Barack Obama's speeches. This time, he's focusing on the speech Obama made in Chicago after Super Tuesday. And he says finding celebs to participate hasn't been a problem at all.

"Right now, since we're in the early stages, I think the song is gonna be called 'We Are the Ones.' It's inspired by a line in his speech after Super Tuesday, when he was in Chicago: 'We are the ones we have been waiting for,' " he told MTV News. "It lit another inspirational fire in me when he said that in his speech. So I decided to get to work on another track. We're lining up people to appear on it right now, and that's the easy part, because people are just passionate to want to be a part of it. There's no casting … the inspiration is the casting director."

On deck for the new video (the last one featured John Legend, Common, Scarlett Johannson, Aisha Tyler, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kate Walsh, Tatyana Ali, Nick Cannon, Herbie Hancock, and others) are John Leguizamo, George Lopez, and Jessica Alba (Si, Si Peude!), plus Ryan Phillippe, Ben McKenzie, and Macy Gray. Also…drumroll, please…none other than Beyonce is slated to appear, but only if she can clear her schedule, of course. [MTV]

I kinda assumed that Beyonce & family were republicans.
