Sen. Barack Obama speaks as Sen. Joe Biden listens during the Des Moines Register Republican Presidential Debate, December 12, 2007 in Johnston, Iowa.Us Magazine
Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron and Rosario Dawson are among the throngs of celebs who will invade the Democratic National Convention (kicking off Monday in Denver), where Barack Obama will officially accept his party's nomination. (He announced, via text and on his Web site Saturday, that Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware will be his running mate.)

Lopez will headline a Children's Defense Fund on Wednesday; the day before, her ex Affleck will attend an event for the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Theron and beau Stuart Townsend will participate in a panel for the IMPACT film festival, which will showcase socially-themed pics, while Fran Drescher will address a women's caucus on health issues.
And that's just to name a few.
"The race is to find out where all the parties are," Simpsons star Harry Shearer recently told Variety. "So you have a lot of people wondering, 'How do I get into the best parties?'"
Convention festivities kick off Sunday night, with an environmentally-themed concert, "Green Sunday at Red Rocks," featuring Sheryl Crow and Dave Matthews, among others.
Pete Wentz's Fall Out Boy and NERD will perform for Rock the Vote Monday night, and Kanye West is set to perform for Bono's ONE Campaign and the Recording Industry Assn. of America on Wednesday.
But the biggest night?
Closing night on Thursday.
The convention is moving from the 20,000-seat Pepsi Center to 76,000-seat Invesco Field for Obama's acceptance speech. (Ricky Kirshner, who produced the 2007 Super Bowl halftime show, will resume the convention's co-executive producing duties.)
Oprah Winfrey is expected to attend, but will not speak for Obama.
Check out Barack Obama's baby photo.
Said pal Gayle King, "She thinks this is his moment. I know that she is planning to be there."

G GEnglish should made be the official language. A melting pot is where all cultures assimilate to the common culture of the society. The US was founded as an English speaking country. So, if you want to work and live in the US, learn English!report abuseposted September 19, 2008 7:20 AM PDT

musicfan2009I just simply like smart politicans whom have at least some respect for the public and realize even the working class in any locality, is smart enough to see when they are bending over and getting, well you know. Anyways, I think it will make some of the politics run a little better, whatever happens after Obama because he has changed some minds in the public and has indirectly changed the media.report abuseposted August 28, 2008 2:59 PM PDT
