Hot on the high heels of John McCain's alleged sex scandal, presidential candidate Barack Obama is at the center of a new political firestorm after being photographed wearing a turban. It's just the latest salvo in the year of smear, and now fingers are pointing to Hillary Clinton for the alleged leak of the curious pic. Clinton's camp denies it leaked the photo.

Now many are wondering if Obama's main supporter - Oprah Winfrey - will weigh in on the new controversy over the candidate she helped vault to stardom. "Extra" contacted Oprah today and her reps told us she's unavailable for comment.

This season of scandal isn't stopping Hollywood from taking sides. George Clooney said he's just one of many A-listers backing Barack. "I like Hillary, and I know her very well and I like her very much. I've just never been around anything like Obama."

Tina Fey minced no words about her pick on this weekend's "Saturday Night Live," explaining, "People say Hillary is a bitch. You know what? Bitches get stuff done!" Even Ellen DeGeneres is standing in Hillary's corner. The witty TV talker dropped in on a Clinton campaign rally yesterday and tackled Hillary's critics, asking, "Do you think you're being given a harder time than Barack because you're a woman?" Hillary said, "I think it requires a person who actually can stand up to whatever comes my way."

Judging from the campaign so far - that could be anything!
