Baracking Out

Filed under: Ben Affleck > Pharrell > Politik > Kanye West > Barack Obama > Scarlett Johansson > Heidi Montag > John McCain > Ed Norton

kanye1.jpg

It's been revealed that Kanye West, N.E.R.D. and Wyclef Jean will be performing at the Democratic National Convention in Denver next month.

Cool line-up!

And, more importantly, no Barbra Streisand!! THANK GOD!

Wonder if Kanye plans to do an elaborate set?

Hollywood Dems who plan to attend include Ben Affleck, Barack's 'pen pal' Scarlett Johansson, Madonna's ex Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Oscar winner Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal, funny lady Cheryl Hines and Ed Norton, who's been shooting a documentary about Obama's race to the White House.

Dem shindigs are always star-studded.

How can the Republicans compete?

Maybe they'll ask Heidi Montag to do a song or two for gramps McCain?!

    Who cares if the Republicans compete with their convention? I don't think it really matters if anyone performs. By the way, the line-up isn't that cool. You got an idiot(Kanye) and 2 who cares.

    Yes, voting based upon what celebrities think is a brilliant idea! They are all so wise! Eating disorders, divorces, adultery, plastic surgery, addictions, self obsession, skanking around…yeah that is who I want to help me decide!

    The Democrats need to learn that sucking up to all the celebrities makes them look like asses to normal people. I think it was one of John Kerry's dumbest moves. Hopefully Obama will learn from Kerry's mistakes, but this makes me think not.

    All of them black. Nicely done. Certainly a nice way to highlight that you are voting for a black person. Black. You get it, black. They are all black. A big black family. They are scaring the white voters away.

    the fact that Perez believes America gives a damn about shallow, marxists Holllywood endorsements is laughable. Vote for Obama cuz Kanye and Wyclef and ScarJo say so! It takes alot to memorize scripts and get paid millions for it. WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE THESE FOOLS ARE…

    VOTE REPUBLICAN TO SAVE YOUR ASS FROM THE IDIOT THAT IS OBAMA

    IDIOTS.

    YEAH GETTING A BUNCH OF RAPPERS TO PERFORM AT A CONVENTION IS GONNA HELP BARACKS CAMPAIGN…. 'LETS RAP SONGS ABOUT BEATING MY WHORE OF A GIRLFRIEND, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS VIOLENCE' FOR A GUY WHO PEOPLE FEAR TO BE A MUSLIM. THIS IS GETTING GOOD. I'M WONDERING HOW MANY OTHER CELEBRITY OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE GOING TO END UP DEGRADING AND EMBARRASSING HIS CAMPAIGN. WRIGHT, JACKSON, MAC, OH HOW THE LIST KEEPS GROWING.

    Funny how these idiot Hollywood so called celebs are so quick to get behind a guy (Big Ears Barack) who has exactly 146 days experience in Congress. Wow what a bunch of geniuses they are. Go McCain all the way. At least JM has a frickin idea what is going on you assholes. Obama is nothing but a community activist (Like Al Sharpton) who comes from Chicago and not NY.

    Yes because a few stupid celebs really prove that Obama is the best candidate…

    To me it shows that a few priviledged people identify themselves to him so it really makes me question his ability to be a goos president for the other 350 millions people who live i this country… Because let's face it, Ben Affleck or Scarlet Johanson aren't exactly aware/conscious of the problems that regular people have to solve everyday….

    such a joke…whatever candidate we vote for in november shouldn't be based on what bands performed at his national convention….it sucks that the idiots in hollywood are the only people who's opinions seems to matter and get enough publicity in this country, especially when it comes to things they really know nothing about. you're all just following the trends…basing you're vote on the best catch phrase.

    republicans don't need celebrity endorsements from people who barely squeaked through high school, let alone college. this elections has nothing to do with endorsements, rather let's focus on the issues. of the above, how many have even an ged?
    pathetic

    Beatty knows he can't snark on McCain's age. He's one year younger. Affleck hasn't had a hit in 5 years. Kanye hates whitey and if BO wants to accept his nomination at a stadium it will make Hitler's Nuremburg rallies look civilized. No matter. Denver will be set on fire that week. Bank on it.

  45. Maste says – reply to this
    45

    I don't know about this?? Kanye, he may say some stupid stuff out there on stage, he is unpredictable. And nerd is an ok choice, wouldn't be at the top of my list, but Wyclef is the safest most suitable choice. He appeals to all types of people, these are the types of performers you need to have Barack. Like one of the comments said, you are going to scare the white voters away.

    Please PEREZ, PLEASE stop talking about politics. I swear are you even a HS graduate? You can barely run this blog let alone knowing anything of how to run a country. You are supposed to write about celebrity gossip, not politics. I could give a SHIT less which candidate these ENTERTAINERS are supporting. These people know how to entertain not run a country. Hell, I am not worried about them, most of them probably are not even registered to vote.

    STF UP about Politics Perez Hilton. You are so full of yourself do you ever read the comments? You, Paris Hilton and the rest of the people famous for doing NOTHING to not influence PEOPLE WHO can READ as to who to vote for. Thank GOD people are this particular comment board are smart enough to know not to VOTE for someone who will be responsible for this country for the next 4 years b/c some one in LA LA Land tells them to. Scarlett is what 22 years old? Yes, yes she knows so much about politics. Maggie Gallenho? that is fucking laughable. Oh, yes I am running out and get on Obamas campaign trail now!

    yeah I never cared what candidates celebrities endorse and I don't think the rest of the country cares either. I don't believe movie stars and music stars have much of ANY impact on who people vote for. That was evident during the campaign for Bush's second term, notice we had ALL these celebrities endorsing Kerry, did we care? No, obviously not because Bush won again. Celebrities don't have as much power as they think they do. Just because we like to watch them in movies and read tabloid magazines of them making asses of themselves doesn't mean we're interested in their politics.

    Oh please…
    1. Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson BOTH were huge supporters and at all of John Kerry's events—and see how much success they brought him.
    2. Kanye West ranked on President Bush on national television to one of the largest t.v. audiences and he was criticized Harshly by both political sides–he'll be no help to portray B. Hussein Obama as the candidate of change & unity.
    3. Warren Beaty has been a LONG time supporter of whichever democrat is running –not choosy on who is running—-he usually will take any jackazz(dem)
    4. Edward Norton was a STRONG supporter of NY governor Elliot Spitzer–so I don't count on any of his character judgments.
    **********************************************
    Statistics show that Celebrity endorsements DO NOT hold any value to the large majority of voters in either political party…

    Let all the retards continue to assemble at the Democratic convention b/c that is where they all belong.

    all the people with BRAINS will vote for the person that can best run the country, not the one who can get most closed minded hypocritical idiots to follow them mindlessly. Barack seems like a nice guy and well meaning, but running the country aint in a kiddie pool- its a big bad ocean and he is flatly not even close to ready. just watch him get annialated. i trust americans as i have the last two fantastic elections!
