It seems if the Democratic hopeful loses the presidential race, he has a few other options.
Barack Obama has performed a dance routine on Ellen DeGeneres’ chat show.

The Democrat Presidential candidate conducted an interview on the program by satellite and when DeGeneres challenged Obama to show off his dancing skills he took her up on it.

“Let’s talk about dancing,” DeGeneres said. “Your wife, Michelle, was on the show and she was talking some smack about your moves.”
‘Get Up Offa That Thing’ , a James Brown tune began and Obama began g dancing to cheers from the crowd

He commented: “Michelle(his wife) may be a better dancer than me, but I’m convinced I’m a better dancer than John McCain.”..so was that a “white men can’t dance” comment.. or what?

Rosie O’Donnell will be presenting  a new variety show on NBC the night before Thanksgiving.

Rosie’s Variety Show will reportedly feature celebrity guests, as well as music, comedy skits and prize giveaways.

The hour-long live special if it is popular may lead to a new series, according to reports by the  The Hollywood Reporter.

“This is a genre that everybody is anticipating is going to come back,” said executive producer David Friedman.

“Rosie sort of invented the daytime variety show. Without question, Rosie is the right person to bring this back.”

NBC’s Craig Plestis adds: “This will reinvent the idea of what a variety show is for 2008. There’s very few performers willing to put themselves out there live.”

Actor and strange baby namer, Jason Lee and his live in Ceren Alkac say hello to their first child together.
US Weekly reports that the little girl was born August 10th.

The duo haven’t given anyone a name yet, but we’ve got high hopes that Lee, who told us all in May that they were expecting a little girl, will find a name more suitable than the one he picked for his son, who is now almost five years old. (Pilot Inspektor, from another relationship)

The opening track, ‘He’s Simple, He’s Dumb, He’s the Pilot,’ absolutely blew my mind when I first heard it,” Lee explained when asked about the little boys name by Entertainment Weekly back in 2003.

He also said that it was mom Beth Riesgraf who originally coined the name, so here’s hoping that new mom has a bit more sense.

The star of “My Name is Earl” in the meantime,  is closed mouthed about whether he was actually seen waiting line for a marriage license. Stay tuned for details.
