Many Hollywood celebrities rally behind Obama
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Ahead of a big fundraising event next week, many Hollywood power players are rallying behind Barack Obama in his bid for U.S. president, pledging money and starpower after lending early support to his one-time rival Hillary Clinton.
Experts say that since Clinton conceded defeat earlier this month in her bid to be the Democratic candidate, 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 transfer directly to votes.
A Tuesday fundraiser in downtown Los Angeles is expected to attract a host of Hollywood stars and feature a performance by the singer Seal at a cost of $2,300 per ticket.
Director Steven Spielberg and his partner in the Dreamworks movie studio, David Geffen, and Dreamworks Animation Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Katzenberg are organizing another Obama fundraiser for later this year, said Andy Spahn, a consultant to the Hollywood power-trio.
"If a Hollywood celebrity puts his or her mind to it, they're good money raisers," said analyst Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior scholar at the University of Southern California.
"Barbra Streisand, you put her in concert and you raise fortunes for Democrats, or Bruce Springsteen," Jeffe said.
Mitchell Schwartz, who was Obama's California campaign manager through the primary election season, said Obama's appeal in Hollywood had been limited, until now.

Sopranos - Castelluccio Gets Into Character
Former SOPRANOS star FEDERICO CASTELLUCCIO is taking method acting to a new level ahead of his role as CARVAGGIO in a new play - he is creating replicas of the legendary artist's works.
The 44-year-old Italian, who played mob soldier Furio in the hit TV show, will play Michaelangelo Merisi de Carvaggio in a production that opens in New York in October (08).
Castelluccio is an accomplished artist himself, having studied at Manhattan's School of Visual Arts - and is preparing to take on the 17th century artist by recreating classics, such as Carvaggio's David With the Head of Goliath.
He reveals to the New York Daily News, "Just as Carvaggio did. I've incorporated my self-portrait into the faces of David and Goliath."

Country Star: I'm Big, Tasty and McPissed
Here's a nugget for you. A country music dude is suing McDonald's because he's convinced.... he's the guy on the Big 'n' Tasty box.
Let's review why this is ridiculous. First, the picture could be anyone. Second, the guy's name is Ira Dean -- why would a C&W artist go by Ira? And third -- do you really need a third?
BTW, Ira used to play for Trick Pony. McDonald's couldn't immediately be reached to cackle.
