Hollywood switches support back to Hillary

Variety takes a look at presidential campaign donations and notes that N.Y. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has won back the big names from Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

Here is part of the Wilshire and Washington column:

"Superlatives are being attached to the huge sums that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
raised in the second quarter, with Obama edging out Clinton in the overall total, and nearly
matching her with current cash on hand.

"With yesterday's deadline to file campaign finance reports, word is trickling in on who gave
to whom. According to the New York Post, "Clinton pilfered from Obama such A-listers as
Tom Hanks, comedian Ben Stiller and "Spider-Man" star
Tobey Maguire, who all gave to
Obama at the start of the year but switched to Hillary in the past three months. Clinton also
collected cash from actress Jodie Foster and actor-director
Danny DeVito."
" They also reported that Obama counted Will Smith, Chris Rock and
Jean Smart. (The latter being recently fired from "Grey's Anatomy").
Paul Newman gave to both. "
