President-elect Barack Obama has already filled his cabinet with Washington veterans like Hillary Clinton – but could there be room for Hollywood in his administration?
Anne Hathaway is just one star who would love a job in the Obama White House.
"I would want to be head babysitter," the Bride Wars star tells PEOPLE. "I'd love to be First Babysitter, absolutely."
Hathaway, 26, is not the only celebrity who would jump at the chance to spend time with Obama's daughters, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10. High School Musical star Corbin Bleu says he would happily perform for the first daughters.
"I'll just go up and do performances for his kids all day and just keep them entertained," he tells PEOPLE. "They seem like really sweet girls. They seem very well mannered. So I would be First Entertainer."
American Idol runner-up David Archuleta echoed that sentiment. "I would give the girls music lessons," he tells PEOPLE. "Probably not piano lessons, because I'm far from the greatest pianist, but voice lessons."
Stars in Washington PEOPLE also spoke to other stars who'd happily work for Obama. Here are some of their job pitches:
• "If I'm the Secretary of State, does that mean I get to wear a secretary outfit?," Katy Perry says. "[I'd] probably [want] that position just for the fashion!"
• "[I'd be] hip-hop ambassador," says rapper Common. "I could deal with social issues like not having parents. I'd work with that and pay attention specifically to the children."

• "I would like to be the official barista making Barack Obama chai soy lattes," the Office's Kate Flannery tells us. "I love that he drinks that."
• "I would want to be there when he writes his speeches," Desperate Housewives actress Andrea Bowen tells PEOPLE. "I would be want to be a proofreader, because I think his speeches are so amazing, they feel so off-the-cuff."

Ok, so where is the mega-ton barf alert?
OMG, the White House will be either Celebrity Crib or House Party.
I really can not take much more of this.
I think I picked the wrong month to quick drinking!
Idiot
Uhhhhhhh, honey? I've got bad news about that. He doesn't write the speeches. He just reads the darn things.
You moron.
Not guilty.
Has there ever, in the history of the world, been such a large group of such vapid, shallow, overpaid people? They astound me!
Anne just keep doing cheesy princess movies and idiotic movies with Kate Hudson. By the way, Bride Wars is perhaps the stupidest movie I’ve ever wasted a half an hour on and no I did not pay to see it, don’t worry
Get back to me in 5 years.
What a simpleton.
she is BU* UGLY!!
It all kinda makes you wanna puke, dosent it?
Michelle is NOT going to like her.
It’s actually excellent for that New Years Resolution diet!
So not guilty.
Of course, you can be not guilty and still be dumb as a box of rocks.
