FILE - In this Feb. 25, 2010, file photo, President Barack Obama, not pictured, acknowledges actress Sarah Jessica Parker, as first lady Michelle Obama smiles in the East Room of the White House in Washington, before he presented the 2009 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal. It will be Parker's house, but Obama's show. You could call it "Checks and the City." Needing to boost his donor base and campaign cash, Obama is banking on elite entertainers for help so often they have essentially become a cast of characters in his campaign. He is using his Hollywood access and raffling it off as a prize to others, tapping into a nation that revels in celebrity even in hard economic times. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)

This undated image released by IFC shows Carrie Brownstein, left, and Fred Armisen as "Gil & Merrill" in a scene from "Portlandia." Movie campaigns for Oscar nominations tend toward earnest snoozers, but not so pleas for Emmy glory. Two cases in point: "Family Guy" sent an eye-popping mailer to TV academy voters, with a drawing of character Peter Griffin and an ethnic slur. IFC's "Portlandia" took a droller approach, enlisting Portland Mayor Sam Adams in an online plea. (AP Photo/IFC, Scott Green)

FILE - In this Feb. 10, 2006, file photo provided by Michigan Technological University, a pack of gray wolves is shown on Isle Royale National Park in northern Michigan. On Thursday, June 14, 2012, the university said its researchers have discovered the reason for a worrying decline in the number of wolves in their most recent census. They say the bodies of three wolves, including a female cub, were found floating in water at the bottom of an abandoned, 19th century mineshaft. The winter census found only nine living wolves, only one of them a female. (AP Photo/Michigan Technological University, John Vucetich, File)
