[edit] Hott4Hill Music Video
A music video entitled Hott4Hill appeared on YouTube on July 2, 2007. In the video, Southern sings and dances in a jokingly suggestive manner in support of the presidential campaign of U.S Senator Hillary Clinton.[1][2] In the video, Southern proclaims her personal admiration of Clinton and how much she would like to see Clinton win the election. In a later interview with MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, Southern explains that the video was just a "fun project" meant to be as flattering to Clinton as another video by "Obama girl" had been for Barack Obama, Clinton's main challenger for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In answering an overtly jestful question about the evocative tone of the video, she said in a July 11, 2007 interview on CNN that she is straight.
[edit] Other Hosting Roles
On September 9, 2007, Southern was host of QBN Sessions, a graphic design lecture series in Los Angeles. She hosts "Cosmo Celeb Gossip Videos" daily for Cosmopolitan Magazine.
