Now, it can be told: Haitian presidential wannabe - and $2.1 million IRS scofflaw -  Wyclef Jean will take time out of his political campaign tonight to headline a fund-raising concert with  John Legend for Gov. Deval Patrick .
As of last night, the location of the musical time for the gov was TBA, but we did get confirmation from Patrick’s re-election campaign that it was going to happen after a week of dogging the Dems. And, as you can imagine, they are “thrilled” about the celebrity talent.

“Like Gov. Patrick, they understand the value of generational responsibility and civic engagement, and we are thankful that they have chosen to lend their voices to our efforts,” campaign spokesguy Alex Goldstein told the Track.

Sure, it’s nice of them. But are we the only ones who think inviting Wyclef Jean to entertain at a political fund-raiser sort of, well, strange?

Besides having his own campaign to consider, Haiti’s favorite son, who raised millions for the earthquake-ravaged country last year, is also accused of mismanaging his charity’s funds. The charity Yele Haiti was formed by Jean in 2005.

Thinking of visiting the capital city of Canada? Ottawa has plenty to offer its visitors. It may not be buzzing with hectic energy like other metropolitan cities, but it possesses a relaxed atmosphere and idyllic charm that gives much pleasure to guests who intend to just unwind and chill out. Even Ottawa's attractions offer tourists a laid back way to experience the city's scenery.

Ottawa is strategically located on the banks of the Ottawa River. It provides a perfect backdrop for various water activities such as canoeing, kayaking and boat riding. The Rideau Canal, particularly, is a favorite among tourists. This canal winding through the heart of the city was aptly declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If you fancy seeing the city while gliding through the waterway, you can go board one of the many cruise and pleasure craft available in the area. The Rideau Canal is also something to behold during winter as it transforms into the world's largest naturally frozen skating rink.

To those who want a taste of Canadian shopping, Byward Market is the place to go. It is one of the largest public markets in the country. It offers almost everything, from fresh produce to signature fashion pieces. There are also plenty of al fresco cafes and gourmet restaurants in the area. Watch for secluded cobblestone squares to experience the old-world market charm.

Parliament Hill is also worth seeing when you are in Ottawa. It offers a dramatic view of the Ottawa River and the imposing Parliament buildings make for an excellent photo opportunity. Moreover, it displays hundreds of gargoyles and reliefs intricately carved on the buildings stonework. Watch out for the sound of the 53-bell carillon in the Peace Tower when the clock strikes the next quarter hour. Also, be on the lookout for the daily free concert performances offered by the Dominion Carilloneur. If you happen to be in the area during Christmas season, you can't miss the magnificent exhibition of thousands upon thousands of Christmas lights stunningly displayed across the hill.

Viva Roberto! Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky made her decision tonight — mercifully. The major moment of the series finale unfolded when Ali pulled a fast one on Chris (and all of us) by sending him home the day before the final rose ceremony. And it was truly a surprise — mostly because producers refrained from tipping us off with cheesy suspenseful background chords. (Don’t worry, they made up for it later, by playing a Muzak rendition of ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight?’ from ‘The Lion King.’)

So how did this twist rate on the impact scale? Kind of low, to be honest. Chris’s departure at one juncture or another was inevitable — how many more times could Ali stress that their bond was built on friendship? Even Chris seemed to know he was on the chopping block — his fauxhawk grew more and more distressed as the episode progressed.

But let’s give credit where credit’s due: good for Ali for saving Chris the trouble of sweat-ruining a suit in Bora Bora, and kudos to Chris on his classy exit. He wished Ali good luck, pointed out the positive parts of the experience, and went on his way without any Pavelka-like pyrotechnics — all of which supports the theory that Chris is actually a good, normal guy.
