Celebs and Hollywood power players are turning on Joe Biden after George Clooney ditched him: sources
millions of dollars and crucial A-list supportthey rely on.Tinseltown is arguably the most important and influential Democratic stronghold in the country, but The Post can reveal thefury behind the scenes as a wealth of power players and A-listers feel they have been conned into raising cash for ailing President Biden’s re-election without being told the true extent of his decline.Not only are people moving their money and putting their funding into congressional races, but the Biden campaign is struggling to find ‘surrogates’; celebrity supporters to stump for the President, according to well-placed sources.Biden has so far received no public support from big hitters such as Beyoncé,Jay-Z and Taylor Swift, who all endorsed his 2020 campaign.“You really do need the celebrity factor, you need Hollywood,” said one former Obama campaign staffer, “That’s how we get the youth vote. It’s not Joe who gets the 18-29 year olds to come out to vote.”When asked whether the Hollywood ‘cool girls’, like influential actress and producer ReeseWitherspoon, will join the campaign, one top industry insider was doubtful.

Ariana Grande reveals she’s working on a “mini” ‘Eternal Sunshine’ tour
Ariana Grande has revealed that she is working on finding dates for a “mini” tour to support her latest album.The pop star made the announcement during a recent interview, in which she looked back at the fan response to her latest album ‘Eternal Sunshine’ and explained that she hopes to find a way to play the songs live despite her busy schedule.Arriving back in March, the project marked the follow-up to her 2020 release ‘Positions’, and saw her take a more subdued approach to songwriting, with NME giving the release a glowing four-star review and describing it as a “sophisticated break-up album worth losing yourself in”.It was also named on NME’s list of the best albums of this year so far, with it being summarised as seeing the singer “reckon with life, love and divorce on a comeback album that’s as inventive as it is intimate”.Despite critical acclaim and a huge response from fans – particularly to the lead single ‘Yes, And?’ – the singer never shared any plans to hit the road in support of the album. Instead, her efforts have been centred around the forthcoming film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, Wicked.Coming to cinemas in two parts, with the first arriving later this year, the film stars Cynthia Erivo, Grande and Jeff Goldblum, and is an adaptation of the musical of the same name.

Cynthia Onyedinmanasu Chinasaokwu Erivo (born 8 January 1987) is an English actress, singer, and songwriter.

She is known for her performance as Celie in the Broadway revival of The Color Purple, for which she won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actress in a Musical, the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Musical Performance in a Daytime Program, the latter two she shared with the rest of the cast.

Erivo ventured into films in 2018, with roles in the heist film Widows and the thriller Bad Times at the El Royale. In 2019, she portrayed abolitionist Harriet Tubman in the biopic Harriet, for which she earned nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actors Guild Award.
