DRAKE & OBAMA

Drake began his show-business career as an actor in Canada, and now that he's a star rapper he wants to return to acting by playing the American president.

"I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama's life soon because I could play him. That's the goal," the 25-year-old Grammy nominee recently told VH1 (via the NY Post). "I watch all the addresses.

Cynthia Nixon Clarifies Previous Controversial Statement, Says "Bisexuality Is Not a Choice"

Cynthia Nixon

Cynthia Nixon is backtracking on her controversial "being gay is a choice" interview, which landed her in hot water with the gay community last week.

The Sex and the City alum issued a new statement to the Advocate today after recently telling the New York Times Magazine that, for her, homosexuality "is a choice."

"My recent comments in The New York Times were about me and my personal story of being gay," Nixon told the Advocate. "I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering. However, to the extent that anyone wishes to interpret my words in a strictly legal context I would like to clarify: Read more
