Kanye West, John Legend, and Stevie Wonder will be among the artists featured on an official soundtrack to the campaign of Senator Barack Obama, entitled Yes We Can: Voices of a Grassroots Movement. The collection will be available through Obama's website, with the profits going straight into his election fund.

The project will be comprised of mainly pre-recorded hits, such as John Mayer's "Waiting for the World to Change," and Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Dellivered I'm Yours."

But there are some interesting new cuts, as well. Kanye and Adam Levine team up with Chicago poet Malik Yusef for a new track called "Promised Land," and Legend offers his version of U2's "Pride (In the Name of Love)."

George Michael was arrested in a London bathroom on Friday afternoon for being in possession of crack cocaine and weed. According to reports, a lavatory attendant alerted police to Michael's bizarre behavior, leading to the singer's arrest. Somehow, Michael was released with a cautionary warning and no further action will be taken. He has since apologized for the incident, stating, “I want to apologize to my fans for screwing up again, and to promise them I’ll sort myself out. And to say sorry to everybody else, just for boring them."

Michael was arrested in 1998 for conducting a lewd act in a public restroom, and then again in 2006 for possession of marijuana and driving while unfit to operate a car.

Well done!
