Everyone loves a president's daughter - be it the drunk-looking Bush twin or Chelsea Clinton with all that problem hair of hers. OK, we take that back. Nobody loves a president's daughter. Nobody at all. In retrospect we probably should have said that presidents' daughters are all kind of dickish. But that hasn't stopped presidential hopeful Barack Obama from letting his two daughters - aged seven and 10 - get interviewed by Access Hollywood this week. Except that Barack Obama wishes that the interview had never taken place. Barack Obama thinks it's wrong for children to be brought into a political arena. Politics should never adopt cute imagery that cynically tugs on the heartstrings of potential voters, Obama told Matt Lauer today while dressed as a teddy bear and dancing to On The Good Ship Lollipop before adding "I wuv you, Amewica."
Got a spare £20? Then go and bet on John McCain becoming the next president of America when voting season rolls round on November 4.
After God knows how many months, the Democrat party has been finally chosen Barack Obama over Bill Clinton’s wife as their candidate. And Obama has received some support from celebrity land.
Now, in the 2004 American election, when the world witnessed George W Bush and John F Kerry wrestle for the chance to sit in a big, white house, we all saw celebrities show their support.
The majority of film, sports, music and TV stars said George W Bush was a silly head and shouldn’t get your vote. We all know how much of a success that was when the American public stupidly voted Calamity George back into power.
Now that Eurovision has come and gone and depressed all British people, it's time to look for something else to bet on. Sadly, nothing's quite as important as Eurovision, so we've settled on the next best thing. That's right, the US presidential elections. But we're not going to bother ourselves with any of this 'Who'll win?' malarkey - instead we're focusing on what the next scandal to hit the candidates will be. None are likely to be as funny as Barack Obama's kooky reverend, but if they happen and get confirmed by either Bloomberg, CNN or Fox, you'll win. Profiting from other people's misery - what could possibly be sweeter? Here are the US election betting odds for a shop lifting scandal, with help from Paddy Power...
Without a shadow of a doubt, the two most important things to happen to the planet this year are the American general election and the Sex And The City film.
So imagine - just imagine - what would happen if the general election and the Sex And The City movie hit each other head-on. Imagine the explosion of joy. Scientists would probably bookmark that date as the day when all of Earth's problems were solved forever.
So, people, brace yourself for that exact thing, because it's happened - Sarah Jessica Parker has claimed that her five-year-old son quite likes Barack Obama. And Lego. But mainly Barack Obama. He's harder to ram up your nose than Lego.
Now that Dancing On Ice is over, we've had to look elsewhere to bring you your daily batch of betting odds. And the sad truth is that there's nothing quite as exciting or dramatic around. So, since minor celebrities performing shaky rudimentary ice skating moves are out, you're just going to have to make do with the race to become the next leader of the free world. This week we're focusing on the US general election, and we're starting with the outcome of next month's Pennsylvania Democratic primary. It's basically the same as Dancing On Ice, but there's less chance of seeing Holly Willoughby's boob fall out. So who'll win the Pennsylvania Democratic primary? Here are the Pennsylvania primary betting odds for Barack Obama, with help from Paddy Power...
Today is Super Tuesday, which we think is what Americans call Pancake Day.
Not really - every day is Pancake Day if you're American. In fact, Super Tuesday is when everyone decides which person they'd like to think about choosing as the candidate that might possibly end up being the President or something. And all of the candidates need all the help they can get.
Barack Obama knows this, which is why he got The Grateful Dead to reform in a show of support. So at least he's got the wizened old cheesy-toenailed hippy vote sewn up.
