Wyclef Jean’s Haitian presidential candidacy might be over before it really even started.  As E! Online reports, Jean’s name didn’t appear on a list of approved candidates for the presidency.

An election official told Reuters that “he is not on the list as I speak,” confirming the news.

The current list isn’t official, so there is still a slim chance that Jean might appear on the ballot—The Provisional Electoral Council is set to announce the official list Friday.

It’s unclear why Jean’s name wasn’t included, but speculation has been directed toward the legitimacy of his qualifications that are required to run.  Some are unsure whether Jean has actually lived in Haiti for five years; though he was born in the country, he moved to the United States as a child.

Jean maintains confidence though, he told the Miami Herald, “My lawyers have produced every piece of document that has been asked for,” continuing, “No one can say that there is any flaw.”

I guess we’ll have to wait and see on Friday.

On July 18, Nintendo announced that its Wii videogame system has become the best-selling video game home console in the United States.

According to independent sales tracking information from the NDP group, over 666,000 Wii consoles were sold in the month of June, and nearly 10.9 million Wii consoles in total have been sold in the United States in the 20 months since its launch in November 2006. One of the reasons for its success may be the ability of the console to break down barriers between gamers and non-gamers, according to a press release from the company.

The report also showed that six out of the top 10 best-selling games for June are made for Nintendo systems, including Guitar Hero On Tour, Wii Fit, Wii Play, Mario Kart Wii, and the LEGO Indiana Jones games for the Wii and Nintendo DS.
