McCain's American Idol Makeup Artist Takes Email Address, Phone Number Off Website

Ever since this article hit Us Magazine the other day ...

John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his "celebrity" status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.

The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who's worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.

... I'm sure that Tifanie White has been getting a lot of inquiries.

Most of them, though, are probably not work inquiries. Well, he still looks like an angry old man. If Tifanie could turn McCain into David Archuleta it would be very different, I'm sure. But there's not that much to work with.

But it seems that she's deleted the end of her phone number and the end of her email address. Apparently the McCains are providing her with enough work for now. She also did Cindy for her recent Newsweek cover.
