Hillary Clinton has Barbra Streisand. Mike Huckabee has Chuck Norris (and maybe Jamie Lynn Spears). Barack Obama has Oprah, former stars of The OC, and most Democratic voters under 30... including Scarlett Johansson!

After partying with beau Ryan Reynolds for New Year's, the actress surfaced at the Iowa Caucuses on Thursday to support the Democratic contender.

A Barack Obama press rep reports that Scarlett Johansson, the 23-year-old Lost in Translation star showed up to support her candidate of choice at two of his final Iowa campaign events - in Des Moines and Coralville.

Could Scarlett be the new Obama girl? Watch out, Amber Lee Ettinger!

So how did her man do? Barack Obama surprised everyone with a victory over both Hillary Clinton and John Edwards last night. We can only imagine which celebrities will jump aboard this bandwagon for change next.

The Hollywood Gossip was one of the first sites to break the story of Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds getting married.

And here's proof of the event. Don't they make an adorable couple?

Perhaps Lindsay Lohan and Eduardo Costa - or Dario Faiella or Alessandro Di Nunzio - will one day follow in the marital footsteps of Murphy and Edmonds.

Here's a slight American Idol spoiler for this season:

Leona Lewis - winner of Great Britain's X Factor - will perform on the show.

"We always like to invite established guests onto the show to give the contestants an idea of the level they need to reach. Leona, with her incredible voice, fits the bill perfectly," said a source.

Leona Lewis is already a hit in England. Will that success translate to the States?

It was quite the scene in Century City, Calif., today as Britney Spears arrived for her mandatory court deposition - then bolted very shortly after.

Why the rush, Britney?

K-Fed's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, explained that the deposition in her custody case was originally scheduled to go from 9:45 to 11:45 a.m.

It poses a bit of a problem, of course, when the person being deposed shows up almost two hours late. Kaplan says the proceedings started around 11:32 a.m. when Britney finally rolled in, leaving him time to fire off only a few questions before ending at the regularly scheduled time - 13 minutes later.

Two hours late!? Hey, at least Britney Spears showed up this time!

Why was the train wreck so tardy? Mark Vincent Kaplan wouldn't say. But he did say another deposition has been scheduled. As for seeking new sanctions against Spears - who continues to disobey court orders and make his job damn near impossible - Kaplan says he hasn't decided whether to go there.

But he might, he says, if he decides Britney Spears - whose own lawyers quit today - caused his client, Kevin Federline - any "undue hardship."

Like the last year and a half?

Amy Fisher once shot her lover's wife in the face. No one saw that coming.

However, anyone who wants to fork over enough cash can see her coming as of tomorrow night! DJ Amy Fisher will be laying it down at the club Retox on 28th Street in New York City at the release party for her very own sex tape!

A promotional ad for the Amy Fisher sex tape release party.

The press release for the much-anticipated event states: "Amy Fisher, dubbed the Long Island Lolita by the press, is an American woman convicted of the 1992 shooting of the wife of her lover, (Joseph "Joey" Buttafuoco) with whom she began an affair as a 16 year-old student at Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York. Fisher served seven years in prison for aggravated assault and was released in 1999. The case drew a great deal of media attention and still continues 'til this day. Now shes back in the news and DJing..."

Only in America, people. Heidi Montag has someone to truly aspire to. Although she's got a hell of a long way to go to match the skankiness of Amy Fisher nude.

We suspect Mary Jo Buttafuoco - Amy's shooting victim - will sit this one out tomorrow night. But who knows, maybe she's secretly into this kinky stuff.

The revelation that an Amy Fisher sex tape would hit the celebrity porn market was met with great excitement late last year... at least among some people.

New year, new attitude? Under the subject "Happy New Year" on her MySpace page, The Hills' Heidi Montag maybe sort of kind of implied on Tuesday that she is ready to put her feud with Lauren Conrad behind her this year:

"I just hope everyone is starting 2008 with a fresh clean slate like I am... the past is the past... and it is time for people to move on from negative influences in their lives and be more positive! I know at least I am going to try as hard as possible even when people don't really deserve kindness... I am still going to give them kindness! Also people should try not to judge other people in 2008!"

Heidi Montag, 21, has also vowed going forward "to stay way more in-touch with my MySpace friends that are so loving and supportive. I will be trying to answer all my messages this year and respond to all questions!"

One resolution we wish The Hills star would make? To take the plunge and pose for Playboy! Why hold back and even pretend to be classy? Cash in and give the masses what they want! If not Heidi Montag nude, at least give us topless pics.

Free the Heidi Montag Two!

We don't want to call Lindsay Lohan a slut, but let's just say that if all women were wiped off the planet except for her, we'd give the human race a pretty good shot at bouncing back. You simply cannot stop this girl from fornicating!

We know, we know, this isn't news. But with these additional photos we found of LiLo during her Italian jaunt, it had to be said. Here's Lindsay Lohan and Eduardo Costa - the elder statesman of the three Italian dudes she got it on with ...

Sadly, Eduardo Costa wasn't photographed in the act of sucking face with our girl. That cannot be said for Dario Faiella, the actor Lindsay mauled later in the night!

Lindsay Lohan and Dario Faiella go at it. Hard.

The actress' first stop after arriving on the island of Capri for a film festival was waiter Alessandro Di Nunzio. But clearly he wasn't enough to satisfy Lindsay Lohan's vast cravings for Italian beef... if you know what we mean!

It's been cold as frick in the Northeast this week, but that hasn't stopped Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen (his top "receiver") from heating up Manhattan!

Making the most of his week off - after leading the Patriots to a perfect 16-0 mark in the regular season - by staying in New York with Gisele Bundchen, Tom Brady escorted his lovely lady during a night on the town Wednesday...

 Despite knocking up ex Bridget Moynahan last year, Tom Brady shows that he knows something about protection as he shields his girlfriend from the media.

The icy weather meant no photos of Tom Brady shirtless on this night, but the stud QB still looked ruggedly handsome. How will New England fare in the AFC playoffs? Does Tom care so long as he scores ... with Gisele?

Probably.

Former American Idol runner-up and certified cutie Katharine McPhee flashes that trademark smile we know and love as she pumps gas in Los Angeles.

And Kat's car isn't the only thing getting pumped up - the singer herself has plenty to be psyched for, as McPhee and boyfriend Nick Cokas recently got engaged!

That's one happy former American Idol star at the gas station!

Even in photos like this, where she's wearing far, far too much clothing, our staff adores Katharine McPhee. She's definitely the cutest creature we've done a post on all week ... narrowly edging out Suri Cruise and celebrity polar bear Knut.
