In 2006, they were best buds, but now Barack Obama and Ludacris have a bit of a fraught relationship thanks to the MC’s pro-Obama freestyle, “Politics As Usual,” that showed up on DJ Drama’s latest Gangsta Grillz mix.

But in an effort to bridge the gap, the Obama campaign decided to go the “you’re better than this” route in its official statement denouncing the lyrics: “This song is not only outrageously offensive to Sen. Clinton, Rev. Jackson, Sen. McCain and President Bush, it is offensive to all of us who are trying to raise our children with the values we hold dear. While Ludacris is a talented individual he should be ashamed of these lyrics,” said Obama campaign spokesperson Bill Burton. I hope Kanye West is taking notes for his Obama intro on Sunday night!

Tommy Lee and Ludacris will star in Battleground Earth, an upcoming 10-part series for the new cable network Planet Green, which will launch June 4. The show, a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Battlefield Earth: A Saga Of The Year 3000 will feature Tommy Lee as Johnny “Goodboy” Tyler, the character who lead a successful uprising against the Psychlos, an alien race that conquered the Earth in several minutes a millenium earlier, only to decide they’d only set up shop in Denver. Ludacris will play Jerl, one of the survivng Psychlos left on Earth, determined to re-enslave the human race. John Travolta will reprise the role of Terl, the main villain from the original film, in the series premiere.
