How to...

So many celebs these days like to thrust their political views on all of us helpless Americans. For those of us that have an idea of what type of candidate we want to support we simply ignore their political come ones... however for the other 75% of the world that choose to support whoever Kathrine Heigl is, we have created a celebrity "How to..." on how best to get all the little people to swing your way.

You're Welcome!


Step One: Don't take a shower or if you do, don't wash your hair because, as everyone knows, only rich people shower daily. And the last thing you want to do is appear rich.

Step Two: Wear a hat. This is your chance to look totally normal and let me tell you Mr/Ms celebrity, normal people wear hats to seem less famous.

Step Three: Drive to your local elementary school/town hall/community pool clubhouse in your hybrid (Democrat supporter) or Hummer (Republican supporter)

Step Four: Do whatever keeps you in front of a possible camera aka, sit at the front desk and smile.

Step Five: When asked your political views for a sound bite or quote say it loud and clear. This is your time to show your political prowess. This is also a good chance to let all the "young people" out there in America know how hip it is to vote. Voting is the new black! So be sure to say something like "Vote or (fill in the blank)." But whatever you do, do not say "Rock the Vote." It's so 90s.

Step Six: Be sure to get your photo taken with whatever politician you support. If you're supporting a Democrat, you should laugh and try to look like you are having a conversation about something light, like your shared love of Aerosmith or the new Judd Apatow movie. This will make you and the politician appear very "cool" and thus encourage the "young people" to vote for them. If you are a Republican, you should always stay serious. This lets the people know that your mind is on "important" matters and not frivolous ones like rock 'n' roll.

Step Seven: After a long day on the campaign trail you deserve to have a meal at a very populated restaurant (make sure to wear your "Vote or (fill in the blank)" button) where you are sure to run into the paparazzi. Try The Ivy, but remember to seem annoyed that all those cameras are in your face. I mean you are just trying to have a meal at a super trendy eatery in Hollywood, who knew it would be littered with people trying to take your picture?? Those pesky photogs.

Step Eight: After you've done your part on the campaign trail, it never hurts to wear a t-shirt supporting your candidate in an interview or two. If you're appearing on TRL, make sure to wear a cool funny one like "Obama is my Home Skillet" or something. Again, the young people will get the hint that if they don't vote they will never be as cool as their fave fab celeb.

Step Nine: Make sure you remember to actually vote on Election Day. This is kind of an important step. Don't pull a Paris!

You're done! And who said celebrities don't make a difference?
