celebs:

With only hours until the polls open on Super Tuesday, even more stars are getting active and lending their support to their favorite political candidates, but it's the Democratic hopefuls who are splitting the celebrity vote.

On Monday morning, Jack Nicholson called up Rick Dees' morning show on Los Angeles' Movin' 93.9 FM to lend his support for Hillary Clinton.

"I think the Democrats are gonna have a good candidate whoever that might be. I happen to be in Senator Clinton's camp because I think she's the best man for the job," Nicholson told Dees. "This is serious. This isn't fooling around. This is the presidency."

Nicholson isn't the only heavyweight star to recently lend his support to the New York Senator. "Ugly Betty's" America Ferrera and fellow actress Amber Tambyln joined Hillary's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, at a host of California colleges and universities over the weekend, hoping to encourage more people to get out and vote Hillary.

Elsewhere however, Oprah Winfrey continued her push for Senator Barack Obama at UCLA over the weekend. Winfrey, who was joined by Caroline Kennedy and Maria Shriver, attempted to sway more voters to Obama's camp, chanting "Yes, we can," a slogan for his campaign.

In related news, a video has now appeared on YouTube, borrowing the Obama slogan and roping in a host of celebrity faces and voices, to help swing voters his way.

Black Eyed Peas' mainman Will.i.am, "Private Practice" star Kate Walsh, Scarlett Johannson, Enrique Murciano from "Without A Trace," "October Road's" Bryan Greenberg and Tatiana Ali all take part in the clip you can watch HERE.

One person who seems to like both candidates equally however is the always-opinionated Rosie O'Donnell.

In a new blog on the Huffington Post Web site, she wrote that she likes them enough she wants them to run together.

"It's still early yet, but so far I find both candidates believable. They are different, with a different mix of talents to bring to the political table, but they both seem to have the passion, plans, drive, and intelligence I want in my next president," Rosie blogged. "Could a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket be our future? I hope so. I think America would benefit from the strengths of either individual, but if those strengths were combined, we might just have the Democratic powerhouse the country needs to turn itself around, and back into peace, prosperity and opportunity."

I knew I loved Jack Nicholson. You brainwashed Obama-ites need to do more research. He is inexperienced, unqualified and a big bag of hot air. We are going to be stuck with another clown in the Oval Office.

HEY, any Democrates out there, that live in Democratic states? How are your schools? Streets? Homes? Neighborhoods? Community? Is it working out for ya? It took a Republican to make it possible for tourist to walk through Times Square with out getting robbed. A Republican that fixed our schools, streets, erased the name "rotten apple". HILLARY DIDN'T DO SH$# FOR THIS CITY

She can't even take a stance on the war, she's waiting for you guys to tell her how she should feel. What kind of President would she be if she can't even take a stand for anything? We are in a time of war, like it or not and we need someone strong who can fight back. She's a poll chaser. 9/11 was not a 1-day event people, it will happen again. Do u feel safe with

Hillary will bring this country to it's knees just like her husband did. She is a disgrace to women. She starts to cry when her polls drop. She calls her husband to fight her battles when her opponents get too "personal". Universal health care? Yeah, share a waiting room with drug addicts and shotty doctors who will give you low rate care.
