Spielberg not working for Pelosi

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Steven Spielberg's spokesman says the Hollywood director will not be advising U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on a planned political campaign.

The Hollywood Reporter said publicist Marvin Levy's remarks contradict a story in Wednesday's Washington Post, claiming Spielberg is teaming up with Pelosi for a political project.

"Today's story regarding Nancy Pelosi made a reference to Steven Spielberg that requires a response. I can say as a long-time spokesman for Steven that he has made it his career to direct actors, not political figures," Levy said in a statement issued to The Hollywood Reporter.
