Celebrity in Chief: Obama Fundraises with Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Harvey Weinstein

President Barack Obama is back on the fundraising trail, and that means he’s spending some quality time with Hollywood denizens.

Movie producer Harvey Weinstein once more is behind a major Obama fundraiser, and the outspoken filmmaker brought along one of the film industry’s biggest couples:

Pool was ushered into Harvey Weinstein’s 5 story West Village town home for POTUS’s remarks to the assembled donors. The ground floor room contained 8 tables of 8, covered in white linen with roses as a centerpiece….

Co-pooler David Nakamura spotted SEO favorites Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were seated near Mr. Weinstein. We are also reliably informed that Tommy Hilfiger was in the room.

Update: Obama saw fit to specifically toast his celebrity pals during his remarks while targeting radio’s number one conservative talker.

I see old friends, new friends and people who when I have time to watch movies or TV, I very much appreciate. So thank you for the great work that you guys do….

I genuinely believe there are Republicans out there who would like to work with us but they’re fearful of their base and they’re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them. And as a consequence we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about government.
