Lindsay Lohan calls President-elect Barack Obama “colored” in a new video.

“It was really exciting. It’s an amazing feeling. It’s our first colored president,” the Mean Girls star, 22, told Access Hollywood when asked about the election.

“I’m so thrilled to be part of the country while that’s going on, and that actually came to fruition,” added Lohan, who often voiced her support for Obama during the campaign.

The actress also says celebrities played a part in getting out the vote.

“I think what Leonardo DiCaprio did, and what a bunch of other celebrities did on MySpace was great…just to encourage people to vote,” she said.

Barack Obama has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on Saturday Night Live due to Hurricane Ike.

The Democratic presidential nominee’s spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, told the Associated Press that Obama didn’t feel like it was appropriate after the storm made landfall in Texas.

In addition, the hurricane may affect the tone of the NBC show’s season premiere, which will be hosted by Olympian Michael Phelps.

“If it’s serious, it will change everything for us,” the show’s creator and producer Lorne Michaels told Politco on Friday. “The tone of the show will shift, and it would be inappropriate for the senator to do if it looks in any way like it’s going to be a tragedy.”

According to the AP report, Obama also scaled down a planned rally in New Hampshire in the wake of the hurricane, and plans to return to Chicago after his campaign event where he will spend the weekend at home.

Several hundred Hoosiers lined up in the cold fog this morning eager to get front-row seats to see Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama. Obama is making his first Indiana campaign stop today with a town-hall meeting at Plainfield High School as he tries to win Indiana’s 72 electoral votes up for grabs in the May 6 primary election. He’s locked in a tight nationwide contest with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who will be visiting several Indiana cities on Thursday. Details of her visit have yet to be released by her campaign.

Indiana’s primary election usually is irrelevant, with the nominations of both parties sewn up long before Hoosiers cast their votes. This year, though, neither Obama nor Clinton has the 2,025 delegates needed to claim the nomination, and Indiana’s votes, while not decisive, will matter.

That has electrified many voters here, and the 2,000 free tickets to today’s Obama event were snatched up in only a half-hour or so after they became available on the Internet.

One of those who got a ticket — and was so excited that he was the first person waiting to get into the Plainfield High School gymnasium — was Tim Durham of Indianapolis.

Durham isn’t your typical Democratic supporter. His grandfather is Republican Beurt SerVaas, the former president of the City-County Council.

Durham, wearing an “Obama 2008″ T-shirt he had made for this occasion, said he arrived at 5:45 a.m. The 17-year-old said he had wanted to camp out outside the high school overnight but was turned away by security.

The Park Tudor High School junior will be able to vote in both the primary and the general election because he turns 18 on May 16. Anyone who is 18 before the general election can vote in both.

Though his family roots are Republican, Durham said, he is inspired by Obama.

“I like how he tries to bring everybody together,” he said.

Also arriving early to see Obama was Leona Glazebrooks, a government teacher at Warren Central High School. She was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in Boston, where Obama solidified his rising star status with his keynote address. Now, she hopes to win a spot as a delegate to August’s national convention in Denver and cast her vote for Obama.

Glazebrooks said the decision to back him wasn’t easy at first. She has long wanted to see either a woman or a minority leading her party’s ticket, and this year she was faced with the choice of both.

But, she said, she settled on Obama in part because of the enthusiasm she saw in her students for him.

“I felt like he was bringing and inspiring a lot of non-voters,” she said. “He is changing the paradigm of the election.”

Director Oliver Stone, a vocal critic of the Bush administration’s handling of Iraq, is putting together a feature film project about the current president, and has tapped Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) as his George W.

Stone, who’s shopping around a script completed pre-strike by his Wall Street co-writer Stanley Weiser, told Daily Variety that he does not intend to make a stridently anti-Bush movie, but instead wants to use a style similar to that of The Queen to explain Bush’s motivations and rise to prominence. ”People have turned my political ideas into a cliché, but that is superficial,” Stone told the trade paper. ”I’m a dramatist who is interested in people, and I have empathy for Bush as a human being, much the same as I did for Castro, Nixon, Jim Morrison, Jim Garrison, and Alexander the Great,” he said, referring to the subjects of his previous films. Stone also asserted that his film will aim to offer a ”fair, true portrait” of Bush, and will contain surprises for both fans and detractors of the president.

Filming on Bush could start as soon as April. As for Stone’s other recent project, a movie about the My Lai massacre called Pinkville, UA has pulled the plug, citing reasons related to the writers’ strike — but Stone told Variety he hopes to get that script back and revive it.
