Stacy Keibler was cheerleader for Obama

Stacy Keibler was a cheerleader at a basketball game between US President Barack Obama and George Clooney.

The former WWE star admitted that she got actively involved in the sports match when her boyfriend, Clooney, hosted a star-studded fundraising dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday (10.05.12).

Following the event, which raked in $15million for Obama's re-election campaign, actor Tobey Maguire joined the pair for the playoff.

She told People: "I was a cheerleader on the side. George and Obama were on the same team, so they both [won]. It made it easy."

Stacy also said it was "an honour" to have organised a fundraising event for the American leader.

She added: "To have the President at our house was such an unbelievable honour. I would say that there is such an energy and a presence, and I felt almost speechless."

Obama is expected to attend a benefit thrown by actress Eva Longoria and entertainer Ricky Martin in New York City on Monday (May 14).

'Glee' co-creator Ryan Murphy has also said that he will host a dinner for the politician who recently announced his support of gay marriage.
