The Stars Came Out at the Democratic Convention Last Night
Citizen: After the spectacular roll call vote (I'm a sucker for the real party business) and equally spectacular sunset, the celebrities and luminaries descended upon the convention arena. In a bizarre game of "animal, vegetable, or mineral," it was "celebrity, politician, or media type?"
It's harder than it looks!
Not Superdelegates . . . Look Who's Starring at the Convention!
While there will certainly be party luminaries in Denver next week for the Democratic National Convention, there's a whole army of stars slated to be there too, partying it up in their own way. Concerts, parties — it's easy to forget there's a real party agenda amid all the fun. While I'm most looking forward to all of the wonky goodness, every vote, speech, and balloon drop, check out who else will be there besides the usual (Nancy Pelosi, Caroline Kennedy, Al Gore, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and many more!) political suspects.
Ambassador Sienna Won't Be Reuniting With Jude
Sienna Miller wore her favourite hooded coat as she took her pooch Bess for a walk in New York yesterday. She was without her NY-based buddies and it doesn't sound like she'll be taking romantic walks with her ex Jude Law any time soon, as Sienna's sister Savannah has responded to rumours that Sienna and Jude are getting back together by saying: "I think that would be a completely ridiculous assumption considering the way that man has conducted himself recently. That's all I'm saying."
Ben Reunites With Jen and Talks Babies
Ben Affleck spent his second day at the DNC helping pack boxes of food for the needy, and last night Jennifer Garner arrived to watch the speeches, including Obama's surprise appearance. Ben is probably doing a lot of schmoozing, though it sounds like one convention attendee he isn't jumping to call is his ex Jennifer Lopez. Ben was eager, however, to chat about Matt Damon's new baby girl.

PoliWood Asks: Should Celebs Get Political?

Featuring celeb cameos from Spike Lee, Josh Lucas, Anne Hathaway, and more, the doc goes behind the scenes of the 2008 campaign, including the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

Sugardaddy: Ben Affleck
He has one Oscar, several Golden Globe nominations and the "Sexiest Man Alive" title, but the name Ben Affleck seems most proud of is Dad. Like his good friend Matt Damon, this Sugardaddy can often be seen out and about with his family, visiting bookstores in NYC, shopping at farmers markets in LA and most recently picking up daughter Violet, age 3, from school following the birth of her lil sister, Seraphina, two weeks ago.
It has been an eventful month for the 36-year-old Boston native.
The Morning After: Our Reactions to Obama's Change Promise
Liberty: Last night I saw Americans who have been hiding in the shadows of apathy or cynicism come out and get excited about the future of their country. Americans who showed that they can wait in a line for hours, just to participate in a celebration of their power to make a difference.
