WYCLEF JEAN - WYCLEF JUMPS INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE

WYCLEF JEAN 'launched' his own campaign to challenge HILLARY CLINTON and BARACK OBAMA in the race for The White House at music mogul CLIVE DAVIS' pre-Grammy party in Hollywood on Friday (08Feb08). Headlining the glitzy bash at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the former Fugees star sang, "Obama and Clinton, you've got competition/Vote for Wyclef for president." Wyclef ended an evening that also featured performances from Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Josh Groban and Andrea Bocelli. Davis' leading lady Whitney Houston was expected to perform at the event, but reportedly pulled out at the last minute.
