Yesterday, March 26, the Supreme Court began hearing arguments both for and against Prop 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state of California. In addition to changing their social media profile pics into the Human Rights Campaign's red equality sign, some celebrities tweeted feverishly for the repeal of the proposition, while others took to Facebook to express their support for marriage eq

Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler is having trouble adding "lawmaker" to his resume. Seems his bill, dubbed the Steven Tyler Act, which passed in the Hawaii State Senate, had hit a wall in the Aloha State's House of Representatives. Where is a 'Schoolhouse Rock' song to explain this stuff when you need it?

After receiving some judgment for seemingly styling their character of the devil after President Barack Obama, people behind the History Channel's mini-series 'The Bible' are denying any similarities between the leader of the free world and their depiction of Satan.

Stars can now vacation in Hawaii without fear, since the new "Steven Tyler Act” -- which protects celebs from the paparazzi -- was passed by the Hawaii State Senate on Tuesday (March 12). The law, spearheaded by the Aerosmith frontman, specifically gives stars the right to sue over unwanted photos and videos taken of them.

Late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien of the titular 'Conan' will be hosting this year's White House Correspondents Dinner. At least according to Twitter, where places like FOX currently impart their news. Let's be honest, do newspapers even exist anymore?

GOP Representative Marco Rubio was probably hoping he'd be able to skate by with an impromptu sip of water during his response to Barack Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday, Feb. 12, but the worst Poland Spring endorsement ever did not escape the notice of political late-night hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert the following night.

Katy Perry wore a mint green, clingy gown -- which she said was inspired by Priscilla Presley's 1970s look -- to the Grammys, and her lovely ladylumps were popping out all over the place. Helloooo, boobies.

Chris Christie, the large and occasionally too much in charge governor of New Jersey, knows he's overweight. In fact, he's so self-aware of his body that when he went on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' on Feb. 4, he was prepared to talk about his girth. And he brought props.

Geraldo Rivera wants to run for Senate. As a Republican. In New Jersey. And probably against Cory Booker. Cool story, bro.

Ever wanted your politics to be more fun but Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart somehow just don't do it for you? What the hell is wrong with you? But alright, fine. Enter late-night host Jimmy Fallon and 'NBC Nightly News' and 'Rock Center' anchor Brian Williams to slow-jam about the debt ceiling with an assist from the Roots.

Newark, N.J. mayor Cory Booker is at it again. The social media-savvy politico and all-around nice guy once again swooped into action -- this time saving a dog left outside in the freezing cold with an assist from his trusty sidekick Twitter.

While President Barack Obama was celebrating his second term at the official and impossible-to-crash Inaugural Ball (believe us, we tried), other celebs partied at peripheral events to ring in the Commander-in-Chief's next four years in office. One such luminary? Kesha, who donned her patriotic best to celebrate the event at the RIAA's inauguration celebration concert at the 9:30 club in Washingto

On Monday, President Barack Obama was inaugurated for a second term. Miss the festivities? No worries. Here's the story -- in GIFs, photos, videos and tweets. Happy Inauguration Day!

President Barack Obama, our 44th president, has been sworn in for his second term, and the inauguration was exactly the star-studded occasion we've come to expect from our celeb-popular Commander-in-Chief. Case in point: Musical performances included James Taylor singing 'America the Beautiful,' followed by Kelly Clarkson's rendition of 'America (My Country 'Tis of Thee),' and Beyonce wrapping thi

Just like us, when celebrities watch or are a part of something historical, they want to tweet about it. Which beats yet another missive about concert dates or a regretful shot of a naked body part. Anyway, Monday's Presidential Inauguration was nothing shy of a major event for our country -- Barack Obama, our nation’s first African-American president, was sworn in on Martin Luther King Jr. Day us

It's no surprise that Americans don't like politicians, Congress in particular. In fact, a recent survey showed the governmental body is less popular than even cockroaches and colonoscopies. Even still, more Americans would rather hang out with their local congresscritter than a member of the Kardashian family.

Despite rumors to the contrary, 'Argo' director Ben Affleck is not vying for a senate seat just yet.

In news that will further drive the point home that our government is doomed, Ben Affleck is considering a run for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

When news broke that South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint was resigning at the end of the year, several media outlets decided that Stephen Colbert -- who grew up in the Palmetto State -- would make a great replacement. And 'The Colbert Report' host sees no reason to rebuff their efforts. Sounds like Ashley Judd may not be the only celebrity considering a senatorial run. Or ... not.

Ronald Reagan, Al Franken, Clint Eastwood, Sonny Bono and the cast of 'Predator' have all gone from celebrities to elected officials, and they may be adding one more to their ranks: Ashley Judd.
