President's re-election campaign also reportedly wants will.i.am, Adam Levine and other celebs on his team.

The first time Barack Obama ran for president, he had help from a wide range of celebrities that included Ben Affleck, Jamie Foxx, 50 Cent, Oprah Winfrey and director Michael Moore.
This time, according to a "wish list" of celebrity endorsers circulated to a group of campaign donors that was reportedly obtained by The Tennessean newspaper, a lot of the same names are in the mix (Jay-Z, John Legend, Alicia Keys), along with other big-name acts such as Vampire Weekend, Janelle Monáe and Maroon 5's Adam Levine.
Though most of the focus has been on the cutthroat battle among the Republicans vying for the GOP presidential nomination, as MTV's Power of 12 campaign has chronicled, Obama is facing an uphill battle for a second term, and with the nation still mired in an economic slump, he's going to need all of the help he can get.
MTV News had not heard back from a spokesperson for the Obama campaign at press time, but a look at the reported wish list makes it clear he's got his eye on some major players to help secure a second term. The list posted by the newspaper is broad, from such committed supporters as will.i.am and Jessica Alba, to boxer Laila Ali, Marc Anthony, the Arcade Fire, India.Arie, Sara Bareilles, Jigga, Chelsea Clinton, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper, Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell, Fergie, America Ferrera, Jamie Foxx and Whoopi Goldberg.
Other names on the list include: Al Green, Josh Groban, Neil Patrick Harris, Anne Hathaway, Jack Johnson, the Jonas Brothers, Jewel, Mila Kunis, Blake Lively, Ricky Martin, "Glee" star Lea Michele, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chris Pine, B.o.B, Regina Spektor, the Band Perry, the Roots, Train, Kate Walsh and Wilco. The list was reportedly sent out December 5 and was not intended for public distribution, but when their name popped up on it, country trio Lady Antebellum told Entertainment Weekly that they were not getting involved in politics this year.
"The members of Lady Antebellum did not submit their name for inclusion on the surrogate list for Obama's campaign," the band's publicist said in a statement to the magazine. "The band has never commented on their political affiliations nor do they plan to in the future."

Some people have the strangest luck, and Lindsay Lohan can certainly attest to that.
Earlier today (January 17), the ?Mean Girls? actress headed into an L.A. courtroom and faced Judge Stephanie Sautner who announced that she was pleased with the progress Lindsay?s been making during her probation.
The bizarre twist occurred just as Lohan and attorney Shawn Holley headed inside when a man named Thomas A Green served her with a lawsuit containing several delusional, unusual allegations claiming that she ?might be a high end prostitute? and possibly a part of the death of Osama bin Laden.
According to TMZ, the document?s excessive claims are extremely difficult to follow, and the incoherent arguments that Green tries to make seem to lack any real legal merit.
In recent news, Lohan attened Sunday night?s Golden Globe Awards after-party at the Beverly Hilton where she was spotted in a gorgeous, floor-length ivory dress.

In 2011, 21 moved more than 5.6 million copies in the U.S.

<P>The music industry has been stuck in a rut for nearly a decade. But every once in a while, it still manages to produce one of those unstoppable hit albums that give everyone that good old feeling. </p><div class="player-placeholder right" id="vid:604336" width="240" height="211"></div><p> This year's model is Adele's <I>21</I>, which not only sold more copies than any other album in the U.S. in 2011 (more than 5.6 million to date), but which has also moved the most units of any artist since 2004. According to a Reuters report, those gaudy figures (which top 15 million worldwide) make the British songbird the first artist to cross the 5 million mark in one year since Usher did it with his fourth studio album, <I>Confessions</I>, which sold 7.9 million units more than seven years ago. And to think she did it by releasing just two mega singles, "Rolling in the Deep" and "Someone Like You," and barely touring North America due to recurring vocal issues.
 There have been other big hits along the way to Adele's mark, including Eminem selling more than 3.4 million copies of his comeback <I>Recovery</I> album last year and Taylor Swift taking the honors in 2009 with <I>Fearless</I>, which sold 3.2 million copies. But none have come as close to Usher's mark in the interim. There doesn't seem to be any chance Adele will be surpassed by the end of the year: The closest contenders are Lady Gaga's <I>Born This Way</I> (2.08 million) and Michael Bublé's <I>Christmas</I> (2.4 million). The other good news is that overall music sales are expected to be up slightly (3 percent) by the end of this year, marking the first time that's happened since 2004.</p>
