Well, now we all know where Mr. Pharrell Williams stands on the upcoming presidential election. The "Happy" singer recently paid a visit to The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he performed his recent single "Freedom." Ellen might be known for getting silly with some of her celebrity guests, but she jumped right into talking politics with Pharrell during their chat.

Ellen Degeneres has already endorsed Hillary Clinton for president in 2016. And Ellen used her talk show yesterday to give Pharrell Williams a podium for announcing -- not only his own support for a Hillary Clinton candidacy -- but his reflections on women leading differently.

The singer and judge for 'The Voice' said: "It;s time for a woman to be in there. Women think about things in a holistic way; it's not so individual."

"I'm saying I'm happy being a man, but I love women. The thing is, if we had somebody looking after our country that thought about things as a whole, I just feel like it just would be different.”

In a break with television's political pundits, Williams found Clinton's "serious tone" to be a key to her success. Acknowledging that Americans tend to be "so easily sensationalized", the children's book author who talks his new Penguin book 'Happy' explained: "Not that I don't love our current president, I just feel that it's Hillary time. People are like ‘OK, we need a president that we can play Scrabble and Celebrity with,’ but that’s not who’s gonna solve your problems. You need someone that’s gonna take it serious.”

Pharrell Williams also played his Oscar-winning song 'Freedom' on 'Ellen'.

Politico profiles Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s 50-year-old former chief of staff at the State Department and a family attorney dating back to the early’90s.

A Unique Relationship

As journalists and researchers scour Hillary’s emails looking for a bombshell and discovering none so far, they have marveled over the unique relationship between Hillary Clinton and Mills, who served as Senior Adviser and Counsel for Hillary’s 2008 presidential campaign and then as Counselor and Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Cheryl Mills serves as a senior adviser to the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.

Cheryl Mills is scheduled to testify before the House Benghazi Committee on Thursday, September 3. Politico reported yesterday that her request to testify in public for fear of selective leaks against Hillary Clinton has been denied.

In Clinton’s world, aides are usually loyal to Hillary or Bill, “but Cheryl crosses over both, and that’s always been very helpful to Hillary,’’ said a former aide who knows both women. “She’s no-nonsense, no messing around, she tells it like it is with both of them, with Hillary and the president.”

The frank relationship comes from the fact that Mills has been their lawyer for a long time. “There are no secrets,” the former aide said. “Cheryl knows everything, and that’s a great equalizer for them.”
