A Man Of The People

PRESIDENT OBAMA’S political star may have lost some of its luster, but he still sparkles in Tinseltown — at least when it comes to raking in cash from celebs.
Hollywood’s glitterati have lined up to cut fat checks for the President’s reelection bid, helping him to a cash-on-hand edge of 4 to 1 over likely GOP opponent Mitt Romney, new fund-raising records show.
A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio is one of his recent donors; so are Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Hilary Duff, Melanie Griffith and Peter and Bridget Fonda.
Boosted by the cash pipeline from the silver screen set, the President’s “Obama for America” reelection fund took in $39 million over the last three months of 2011 — bringing his war chest to a current total of about $82 million
