article: Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton appears to be ahead of the game in the popularity contest, with dozens of pop stars, rappers and actors hopping aboard the #teamhillary bandwagon. And she's not the only presidential hopeful to court, or be courted, by famous people... Her rival Bernie Sanders is also notching up the stars, as is Republican frontrunner Donald Trump - a man better known for his celebrity status than his political acumen. But their approach to endorsements, and how they are announced, seems to be continually evolving... Hillary Clinton has won serious backing from the mainstream musical establishment, with a large number of pop stars and singers pinning their hopes on her becoming the first woman president of the United States of America. Pop singers Katy Perry and Demi Lovato have both turned out to serenade the former first lady and performed at her many fundraisers. "She's my firework!" Perry told a crowd of supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, in October, dressed in a white strapless gown with Clinton campaign logo attached. Beyonce has also been spotted at a Clinton fundraiser in recent months. Britney Spears appears to be undecided, after editing a post of her and Clinton meeting in Las Vegas this week to remove the #ImWithHer hashtag widely used by Clinton supporters. Sir Elton John has confirmed he'll be headlining a New York fundraiser with Perry after Super Tuesday next month - but it won't be his first appearance, after he gave a musical performance to try to boost her dwindling campaign against Barack Obama in 2008, raising a mammoth $2.5m. Bernie Sanders seems to be doing marginally better among the indie and punk crowd. Last month, the Vermont senator joined indie rock group Vampire Weekend on stage at a rally ahead of the Iowa caucuses ,where he was seen bopping his head and singing along to Woody Guthrie's This Land Is Your Land. The song was reportedly covered by Sanders in a 1987 folk album. Though Canadian, rock and roll musician Neil Young has also admitted to "Feeling the Bern" for Sanders. Red Hot Chili Peppers also hosted a fundraising concert in his honour this month. It was widely reported in August that Clinton was seeking selfie advice from the "queen of selfies", Kim Kardashian. (It wouldn't be a celebrity story without mentioning the K-word.) And her dream seemed to come true because a short while later Kardashian posted a selfie with Clinton on her Instagram account, in which they were photobombed by the one and only Kanye West. "I really loved hearing her speak & hearing her goals for our country!" Kardashian wrote in her Instagram post. West has announced his own plans to run for president in 2020, so perhaps he's hoping Hillary will put in a good word? And it seems the whole Kardashian/Jenner family is getting behind Hillary. Kim's sister, Kendall, this week posted a selfie of herself posing in a Hillary Clinton t-shirt designed by Marc Jacobs. Phil Robertson, the star of American reality TV series Duck Dynasty, is one of the few celebrities
