-- Colombian superstar Shakira says Democrat Barack Obama is the best
candidate for president, citing his leadership skills.
In a statement Saturday,
the Grammy-winning pop artist said Obama can restore peace and the world's
confidence in the United States.
Obama said he was
honored to receive the singer's endorsement. The Illinois senator praised
Shakira as a role model for young Latinas in the U.S. and beyond.

In what will surely be one of the
largest ever, if not the largest, in-kind contributions to a presidential
campaign if Al Gore decides to run, NBC Universal announced late last
week that its networks will devote an incredible 75 hours of time on
Saturday, July 7 to showing Gore's “Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate
in Crisis.”
The "Live Earth" concerts will
take place in New York, London, Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Johannesburg,
Rio de Janeiro, Hamburg and Istanbul. Some of the hottest musical acts
scheduled to perform include: Madonna, Bon Jovi, The Police, Sheryl
Crow, Kelly Clarkson, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Melissa Etheridge,
John Mayer, Faith Hill, Shakira, Mana, Black Eyed Peas, Fall
Out Boy, Enrique Iglesias, Duran Duran and many more. The 24 hours of
music across all seven continents will deliver a call to action and
the solutions needed to answer the call. Live Earth marks the beginning
of a multi-year campaign led by The Alliance for Climate Protection
and its Chair, former Vice President Al Gore, to move individuals, corporations
and governments to take action.
