As the Democratic convention in Chicago gears up, Hollywood celebrities are once again showing their enthusiastic support for the party's presidential ticket. This echoes the high level of celebrity involvement seen during Barack Obama's presidential nomination in 2008.
John Legend, a familiar face from the 2008 and 2020 conventions, is scheduled to headline a show for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. On Wednesday, 'Veep' star Julia Louis-Dreyfus will host a panel featuring the country's eight female Democratic governors. Additionally, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are set to perform at a benefit concert organized by the Creative Coalition, a Hollywood advocacy nonprofit.
