Wyclef Jean may not be legally entitled to run for president of Haiti because he has not lived in the country long enough.

However, the hip-hop singer’s team has claimed that a celebrity career has kept him from living in Haiti for the required five years.

Jean’s supporters will follow the above argument to fend off questions by a review panel exploring whether Jean is legally entitled to run for president because of residency rules.

Candidates for the top job are expected to have lived in the impoverished nation for at least five consecutive years prior to seeking office.

Haiti”s electoral commission is expected to decide Friday which of the more than 30 candidates are eligible to run – a key hurdle to Jean”s political ambitions.

“Prior can mean at any time,” the New York Daily News quoted Wyclef”s brother Samuel Jean as saying.

“Clef has property in Haiti. In terms of his career, he travels a lot. It would be hard to find him in one place for three months, let alone five years,” he added.

Jean said lawyers representing his famous brother are arguing with officials to let him run.

The star has recently been hiding out “in an undisclosed” location in Haiti because of death threats – a common occurrence in Haitian politics.

“Like everyone else, he is waiting for the [panel''s] decision,” said Samuel Jean.

Wyclef left Haiti as a 9-year-old, moving to the Marlboro Houses in the Gravesend section of Brooklyn with his parents.

Dame Helen Mirren has revealed that she buys her holiday clothes from charity shops.

The Queen star admits she never takes her own garments away with her, instead choosing to pick up outfits from second-hand stores as soon as she arrives at her destination.

“I love a good charity shop, especially when I”m travelling. When I”m going to cold places, I take nothing – just underwear. On my way from the airport, I ask the driver to take me to a good charity shop, and I buy boots, socks, trousers, jumpers, sweaters, hats and scarves – usually for 30 pounds,” the Daily Star quoted her as saying.

But the actress never keeps the items: “On the way back to the airport, I have it all in a big bag and drop it off at another charity shop.”

Zac Efron and two of his pals were recently seen squandering more than 2,000 dollars on lap dancers and vodka at a top New York strip club.

The ‘High School Musical’ star showed up at Flashdancers Gentlemen”s Club on Broadway on Sunday night and stayed until 3 a.m.

“Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything,” The New York Post quoted a spy as saying.

“They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them.

“The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac”s girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel,” the spy added.

Hudgens was nowhere to be seen at the premiere of “Charlie St. Cloud” later that night.
