Fugee member Wyclef Jean is said to be eyeing a bid to become the next president of Haiti. But Jean, who is already the ambassador-at-large to the Caribbean island where he was born, has not yet made a decision if he'll throw his hat into the ring for the 2010 elections.

In an e-mail to reporters, the Jean family said, "Wyclef’s commitment to his homeland and its youth is boundless, and he will remain its greatest supporter regardless of whether he is part of the government moving forward … If and when a decision is made, media will be alerted immediately."

But if he does decide to run, he'll probably have to endure even more questions about the amount of money paid to him by his own Yele Haiti foundation for promotional appearance in the country to raise money for the earthquake victims.
