After Fugees alum Wyclef Jean laid out his plans for Haiti and publicly announced his bid to run for the country’s presidency on Thursday’s Larry King Live, actor Sean Penn slammed the musician’s bid, warning against corporate influence potentially driving Jean’s decision.

Musician/fundraiser Wyclef Jean has been busy helping his native Haitians after the devastating earthquake there earlier this year, but the Fugees star might have to tend to matters on the home front after reports broke that his wife found nude pictures of his gorgeous female manager stored on his phone.

Marie Claudinette, Jean's wife of 16 years and mother to his daughter, flew off the handle and forced Jean to fire the manager, Lisa Ellis, according to the NY Daily News.
Claudinette then reportedly caused further humiliation for Ellis by forwarding the photo onto music industry professionals. Ellis, who parted ways with Wyclef last month, said the whole ordeal is a misunderstanding and that her relationship with the Grammy-winner is purely a business one.
Wyclef Jean To Receive NAACP Award
"Photographer Mark Baptiste took a portrait of me in December 2008 for an art book," Ellis told the NY Daily News. "It was tastefully done. Someone leaked the photo. I don't know who did it but the photo had nothing to do with my resignation as Wyclef Jean's manager. I quit just because I don't like the way he does business. The photo has nothing to do with anything, but now there's this completely made up, falsified story about it."
An insider told the paper that Claudinette does not believe a word of it.
"She jumped to the conclusion that something may be up between Wyclef and Lisa," said the insider. "She told Lisa to stay away from her husband."
Jean's rep Ken Sunshine said the star is too busy working in earthquake-stricken Haiti to respond to the story.
"Wyclef is spending all his time trying to rebuild Haiti and will have no comment on any of these false rumors," he said.

"Two weeks ago we found ourselves surrounded by a dazzling array of artists of all ages, backgrounds and genres - but all of whom who shared a common commitment to take cation to help Haiti rise from the rubble and rebuild," said Foxx.
A shorter, three-minute version of the re-recording debuted Friday night during coverage of the opening ceremony of the XXI Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Tween heartthrob Bieber opens the song, which also features Barbara Streisand, Cyrus, Fergie, Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Scherzinger, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Céline Dion, Josh Groban, Nick Jonas, Lil Wayne, Jeff Bridges, Kanye West and Wyclef Jean.
And while he may no longer with us in life, original 'We Are the World' co-writer and executive producer Michael Jackson was featured, singing alongside sister Janet.

The song's most significant update is a rap breakdown lead by LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg and Will.I.Am.
And there is also a nod to the original record from 1985, when Foxx imitates Ray Charles, much to the amusement of Hudson.
The video, filmed by Oscar winner Paul Haggis, shows some of the 85 artists who gathered in Los Angeles this month to re-record the charity anthem.
"We ask you to do please more than just watch," said Foxx.
"Reach deep into your hearts and give anything you can as we have for Haiti.
"Whatever you have, no matter how big or small, it all helps."
The video finishes with Lionel Richie, who co-wrote the song with Jackson 25 years ago: "Wow... We Are The World 25' is an opportunity for us to see what we can do to help our fellow man.
"Haiti right now is in desperate need of our help - and you can help them."
