Bruce Willis, former Republican stalwart: Still undecided, told Vanity Fair his priority is free medical care for GIs. ("I'm waiting to see who's going to shake out as a candidate . . . and I'm going to say, 'I want you to make this issue part of your platform.' ")

Stephen Baldwin (one of the more prominent Hollywood types at the '04 Republican National Convention): "He's focused on his ministry and not on the political field yet," said a rep.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: Courted by many candidates; no endorsement yet. "They are looking at voting records and carefully following what the candidates are proposing on the issues that are the focus of their philanthropy and advocacy," said a rep.
