President Biden announced a star-studded list of members for an arts advisory board that fell apart under the Trump administration, with Lady Gaga, Shonda Rhimes and George Clooney among the 24 entertainers and academics he intends to appoint.

Gaga, the singer-songwriter whose legal name is Stefani Germanotta, will co-chair the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities alongside producer Bruce Cohen. The committee will be responsible for advising the president on cultural policy, and the members were chosen due to their "serious commitment to the arts and humanities," the White House said in a statement Thursday.
