The Dark Knight Rises actor joins the likes of Bill Maher and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffery Katzenberg in delivering millions of dollars to the operation, and Morgan has praised the Democrat president's history of working on "tolerance."
"He ended combat operations in Iraq, put in place sensible reforms of Wall Street, saved the auto industry and protected the health care of every American. He has led our nation to be more tolerant and placed impressive, accomplished women on the Supreme Court. In return, he is the target of hundreds of millions of dollars from right-wing sources. I am proud to lend my voice - and support - to those who defend him. Priorities USA Action is doing a great job of protecting the values I believe in. I am happy to help them and I hope others will join me."

Jane - mother of her fiance Brad Pitt - recently wrote a letter to her local paper in support of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in which she revealed she doesn't support same sex marriage or abortion, and her views have reportedly left Angelina angry.
"Jane has never wanted to talk politics with Angelina. She knew it would cause greater issues for them, and she wanted to try to have a relationship with the mother of her grandkids. She never thought her letter would be such a big deal," a source said.
Angelina and Brad are two of the most prominent gay rights campaigners in Hollywood, and at one time the actor stated he wouldn't marry the Salt star until same sex marriages were made legal across the US.

Brad Pitt’s Mother Writes Anti-Gay Marriage Letter
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rants,
Brad Pitt's mother Jane Pitt has "Christian" views on abortion and gay marriage.
The showbiz matriarch - whose son Brad is one of the most vocal supporters of gay rights in Hollywood - has written a letter to her local newspaper the News-Leader in Springfield, Missouri, urging people to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, due to him being a "family man with high morals."
She also hits out at President Barack Obama because he supports the "killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."
"I am ... a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion. But I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon. Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney's opponent, Barack Hussein Obama - a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage," she wrote.

Carrie Underwood Blasted For Gay Marriage Support
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music,
The 29-year-old singer spoke out on her views of same-sex unions during a newspaper interview. She told The Associated Press about her questioning with another publication, "I was asked a difficult question in the last five minutes of an interview and I answered it the best way I knew how, and after that I do what I do and I love making music and I generally try to stay out of any kind of controversy."
The devout Christian singer told the newspaper that she believes marriage should be legal for all. "As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry. I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."
"The role-model word is really scary to me, because no matter what happens in your life, something you do, wear, say, sing, whatever - somebody somewhere is probably not going to like it too well. I just really try hard to do what I do and try to be nice to people and make great music and if people think they can look up to that, that's wonderful. If not, that's OK too," she continued.
Madonna Wants to be President
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
The pop superstar believes she would do a great job if she was able to take control of the country and her main goal would be to stop the country wasting money on "weapons of mass destruction."
"You can't really change much in one day. I think I would like to be president for a longer time. I wouldn't spend as much money for weapons of mass destruction but instead for education and art," she said when asked what she would do if she was President of the United States for one day.
Although she has achieved worldwide success, Madonna's ambition and drive has not diminished over the years. The 53-year-old singer attributes her success to her thirst for reinvention and never taking anything for granted: "It's harder to stay famous than become famous. I don't think there's a rule for that (staying successful). You have to really love what you're doing. You have to feed your soul with ideas and you're not allowed to stop growing as a human. That's what helps to create art. When it comes to my work I don't take anything for granted."
Brad Pitt Worried for Angelina Jolie When He Proposed

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie decided to get married because of her work with the United Nations. Apparently the couple feared she may not survive a dangerous new mission with the UN helping to battle drug lords.
The mother of six adopted and biological children, who is a goodwill ambassador for the UNHCR refugee organization, will be involved when the UN launches a fresh war on South American crime bosses. "Brad's terrified something bad will happen to her. It's why he wanted to cement things with a wedding," a source told The Sun.
Earlier this year Angelina wrote a farewell letter to her fiance Brad after becoming scared for her life on a UN mission. "I wrote a note to Brad and figured if anything happens he'll find it. They gave me a briefing and they said everybody needs to write down their blood type," she said.
The couple - who met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 - have kids Knox, Vivienne, Pax, Shiloh, Zahara and Maddox together. They announced their plans for a wedding last month.
Susan Sarandon: Government Tapped My Phone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Legal Issues, Rants, Features,
Susan Sarandon claims that the government has tapped her phone.
The actress and liberal anti-war activist alleges she was denied security clearance to the White House and has discovered her phone was bugged through two Freedom of Information Act requests.
"We know we're under surveillance. I was denied a security clearance to go to the White House and I don't know why. Do you know why?" she said, speaking during a Q&A session at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Although Susan claims she has no idea why she is under surveillance by the US government, her outspoken campaigning against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and her activism in political campaigns since the 1980s could be responsible. Ten years ago in 2002, she joined the rally in Washington, D.C. against the invasion of Iraq. "Let us resist this war. Let us hate war in all its forms, whether the weapon used is a missile or an airplane," she said.
