"I'm proud to do whatever I can to support the president... as long as no one asks me to sing," Clooney joked to ET. (Mr. Obama has shown off his singing skills twice in recent months.)

Entertainment Weekly also confirmed the fundraiser Wednesday. The tickets reportedly cost $40,000 each, with proceeds going to the Obama Victory Fund - a joint fundraising committee of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee, and several state Democratic parties.
