A reality-TV figure is running for office with a long list of celebrity endorsements, a light political story worth a quick scan.

• Spencer Pratt is running for mayor and has picked up backing from Joe Rogan, Adam Carolla, and Dennis Quaid.
• Paris Hilton reportedly promoted his campaign in late April, alongside James Woods, Billy Bush, Meghan McCain, and other reality-TV names.
• He also claimed in a US Weekly interview that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx privately voiced support.
• The DiCaprio and Foxx claims are unconfirmed and come only from his own account.

Outlook: Expect more celebrity name-dropping as the campaign tries to turn fame into votes.
