Sarah Jessica ParkerNew arts advisor Sarah Jessica ParkerIt's a little more taxing than shoe shopping.

And there might be objections if she starts yakking about Mr Big.

Because President Barack Obama's asked Sex And The City actress Sarah Jessica Parker to be one of his new arts advisors.

Sarah Jessica is one of 25 new appointments to Barack's arts and humanities committee.

Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker and US Vogue editor Anna Wintour have also been approached.

Sarah Jessica is a staunch supporter of President Obama and even manned phones at his election HQ during the campaign last year.

The panel will be asked to suggest projects to encourage ordinary Americans to take an interest in the arts.

The committee is chaired by none other than First Lady Michelle Obama.

Michelle said: "Arts define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation."

We can't wait to see what SJP comes up with.
