White House Beyonce: Obama needs another term (Photo Credit: Reuters) If President Obama wants to add some star power to his re-election campaign, he’s got a volunteer waiting in the wings.



Beyonce, who stumped for Obama in 2008, said that she’ll “absolutely” campaign for him again. “I did the first time and I will again,” the singer said in an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan that aired Monday.



“I think he’s doing a great job. I think he’s fantastic. I think he needs another term, he needs more time,” Beyonce said.



When Morgan asked if her husband Jay-Z actually “has the president on the speed dial of his cell phone," Beyonce smiled coyly and said she didn’t know but called the Obamas “amazing” and “wonderful.”



On performing during their first dance as president and first lady in 2009, the singer said: "It was really powerful and overwhelming. I kept telling myself, 'OK this is not about you, you have to do this for them. You have to do this for history.'" Tags: Beyonce,

Categories: Politicians Bristol knows mom's 2012 plans ABC’s Robin Roberts tried, then Sean Hannity gave it a go, but Bristol Palin wouldn’t talk about her mother’s 2012 plans with either host on Monday. “There are some things that we talk about at the kitchen table that stay at the kitchen table,” she told both.



The gang from "FOX & Friends" got a little bit more out of Bristol on Tuesday when host Brian Kilmeade asked, “Do you get the sense that your mom has not made up her mind yet or do you think she knows and hasn't told us?" Making the media rounds for her new book “Not Afraid of Life,” Bristol replied, "You know, she definitely knows. We've talked about it before. Some things just need to stay in the family."



Bristol told the hosts that she wants her mom to run, but she’s been saying that since she was boogying with the press during her “Dancing with the Stars” days. Tags: Bristol Palin,

Categories: Sightings Shriver and Biden at Special Olympics (Photo Credit: Reuters) Besides hopping on stage for her friend Oprah in May, Maria Shriver has kept a low profile since news broke that her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, fathered a child with a member of their household staff. But Shriver crossed the pond and smiled for the cameras during several public appearances in Greece this weekend for the Special Olympics.



Shriver, a Special Olympics board member, mentioned her difficult time in a blog post before she left for the games: “My friend, Special Olympian and fellow Special Olympics Board Member, Eddie Barbanell, wrote me a beautiful note before I traveled to Athens that made me feel so good. He said that he knew I was going through a rough time but he wanted me to know that I ‘will never be left out.'"



Of Barbanell she wrote, “Thousands of people -- family, friends, neighbors, colleagues and many people I've never met -- have reached out to me recently with loving, uplifting, hopeful and kind messages. But he was the only one who wrote, ‘You will never be left out.’”



Jill Biden also traveled to Greece to lead the presidential delegation to the games. She attended the lighting of the Flame of Hope, an aquatic competition and Saturday’s opening ceremonies where Vanessa Williams and Stevie Wonder performed. Tags: Jill Biden,

Categories: Morning TV Bristol 'not accusing Levi of date rape'

Since Bristol Palin’s book "Not Afraid of Life" was released, there’s been plenty of buzz about an early chapter where she described losing her virginity to Levi Johnston.



She later had a son with Johnston, but wrote that he encouraged her to drink before their first sexual encounter and that her virginity was “stolen.”



Bristol clarified in an interview with “Good Morning America,” on Monday that she isn’t accusing him of date rape, as some have speculated.



“I’m not accusing Levi of date rape or rape at all. But I am just looking back with the adult eyes I have now and just thinking that was a foolish decision. I should have never been underage drinking and I should have never gotten myself into a situation like that,” Bristol told host Robin Roberts about her former fiancé.



Of calling Levi a “gnat” in her book, Bristol admitted that she’s not too concerned about their son Tripp reading that line in a few years, because she doesn’t know “that Levi will be a big role model or in his life at all.”



She said that she hopes “other women with jerk boyfriends reading the book go ‘you know what? I don’t have to be with this guy.’”



Before the interview wrapped, Bristol gave her mom a little 2012 plug, saying Sarah Palin would make a great president. Roberts asked if the two have talked about a Palin run and Bristol answered, “There are some things that we talk about at the kitchen table that stay at the kitchen table.” Tags: Bristol Palin,
