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. Let's just say last night you would have seen me shamelessly tailing Aisha Tyler, Jurnee Smollett (of The Great Debaters) Alan Cumming, Joe Scarborough, Al Sharpton, and Gayle King.

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.

Does LiveAutographs Really Work? I've heard about the website LiveAutographs before, but I just assumed it was totally bogus — I mean, come on, would a real celebrity actually sign an autograph for me, on video. Yeah, I didn't think so either. Well it turns out, TechCrunch paid $149 to get an autograph on LiveAutographs from William Shatner.

I promise I'm about to get with the program and Move On (without the .org, thanks all the same) but I could not let this slip by: John McCain was not the first one to compare Barack Obama to Paris Hilton. (!!!) Especially since Liberty and I went head-to-head on the celebrity issue, this PS-revelation is too good.
