Talking Heads: Celebs Weigh In on the Election

See what the stars have to say about Obama vs. Romney.

Nicki Minaj - Celebrity endorsements are a powerful part of every campaign, but sometimes stars go off-message and tell us how they really feel.   Nicki Minaj raised a fury when she rhymed, "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney" on a guest verse for Lil' Wayne's mixtape. With the help of the president, who acknowledged Minaj likes to "play different characters" in her music, she was able to clear her status within days and let the world know she's for Obama.  (Photo: Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images)

Madonna - The Material Girl is no stranger to controversial statements of sarcasm, but many feel she crossed a line when, during a recent concert, she identified President Obama as a "Black Muslim in the White House." She later dialed back her remarks, stating she was merely "being ironic on stage." Unfortunately, not everyone got the joke.  (Photo: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images)

Lindsay Lohan - It's doubtful many people are looking to Lindsay Lohan for political advice, but as an American citizen she's entitled to her opinion. The troubled starlet, who voted for Obama in 2008, switched sides and endorsed Romney recently because "unemployment is really important right now." A quick look at her acting résumé makes it clear why.  (Photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images)

Chris Rock - You know what they say about not discussing sex, religion or politics over dinner? Well, someone should have told Jason Mattera. The conservative author approached Rock at a film festival earlier this year, questioning him about a comment Rock made to Esquire calling the Tea Party "insane." Rock went ballistic, breaking Mattera's camera and leaving the press line in a huff. Rock has always been on fire via Twitter during every Obama vs. Romney debate.   (Photo: Larry Busacca/Getty Images)

Vivica A. Fox - As an actress with a long résumé and two hit shows on the air, Fox knows drama. And she advised President Obama that he create some after his lackluster performance in the first debate against Mitt Romney. "People need that," she proclaimed, but made it clear that she wasn't ready to give up the fight. "Obama's like the heavyweight champ," she said. "He's going to wear Romney down."  (Photo: David Livingston/Getty Images)

Eva Longoria - This Desperate Housewives star has been a power player for the Democratic Party for years, working tirelessly to rally the Latino vote.

As the Latino vote becomes increasingly important in politics, so does Longoria's endorsement.  (Photo: D Dipasupil/Getty Images for BET)

Lady Gaga - Lady Gaga certainly isn't the first celebrity to voice political opinions, but something about her scathing indictment before the first political debate of "millionaire" Mitt Romney paying just "13.9 percent" in taxes had people feeling it was a bit of the pot calling the kettle black. Then again, she's not the one running for President.  (Photo: WENN.com)
