George Clooney has been pretty active in politics lately, with his recent arrest outside the Sudanese Embassy, and now it seems the Oscar-winning actor will host a 150-seat fund-raising dinner for President Obama's re-election campaign — to the tune of $40,000 a plate!

The Hollywood Reporter indicates the event will be held at George's home and will be co-hosted by DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
It sounds like George has rubbed shoulders with the president a lot lately. A few weeks ago at the White House State Dinner in honor of British Prime Minister David Cameron, George sat a few seats away from President Obama. He also attended two big Hollywood fund-raisers for the president in L.A.

He added, "If I was a Republican and Obama was a Republican, I would be selling all of the accomplishments. You know, he saved the auto industry and he got Osama bin Laden. He passed a health care bill that no one could pass — if that was a Republican issue. I would be able to sell his presidency as a very successful one. But Democrats are bad at that; we like to pick each other apart."
