George Clooney will hold a fundraiser for President Obama at his home in Los Angeles for 150 people, at $40,000 a ticket, reports ET. “I’m proud to do whatever I can to support the President,” Clooney told ET, “as long as no one asks me to sing.”

The fundraiser will take place on May 10. If 150 tickets are sold, that would send $6 million to the Obama Victory Fund, a  joint fundraising committee of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.
