    Barack Obama's Top 10 list: Are you surprised?

    Posted at 9 p.m. Thursday, May 1

    Obama

    Sen. Barack Obama continues his pop culture appearances Thursday with a stop on “Late Show with David Letterman.” The Democratic presidential candidate delivered the Top 10 list for the episode, which was taped earlier in the day and will air at 10:30 p.m. on CBS.

    And here it is, from the home office in Wahoo, Nebr., of course (courtesy CBS):

    Surprising Facts About Barack Obama
    10. My first act as President will be to stop the fighting between Lauren and Heidi on “The Hills.”
    9. In the Illinois primary, I accidentally voted for Kucinich.
    8. When I tell my kids to clean their room, I finish with, “I’m Barack Obama and I approved this message.”
    7. Throughout high school, I was consistently voted “Barackiest.”
    6. Earlier today I bowled a 39.
    5. I have cancelled all my appearances the day the “Sex and the City” movie opens.
    4. It’s the birthplace of Fred Astaire. (Sorry, that’s a surprising fact about Omaha)
    3. We are tirelessly working to get the endorsement of Kentucky Derby favorite Colonel John.
    2. This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?
    1. I have not slept since October.

    Lupe Fiasco goes to 'Late Night'

    Posted at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 2

    David Letterman returns to CBS late night on Wednesday, but there’s been a change to the soundtrack.

    Chicago’s own Lupe Fiasco will be Dave’s musical guest, performing “Superstar” from his latest album “The Cool.” He replaces Shooter Jennings, who will be on Friday’s show.

    It’s Dave’s first live show since early November, when TV writers went on strike. Letterman’s Worldwide Pants production company made a deal with the writers’ union to allow his writers to return to work.

    Dave’s main guest Wednesday will be actor Robin Williams.

    Watch a video clip of Lupe Fiasco and Mathew Santos performing “Superstar” at this summer’s Lollapalooza.
