Democrats risk star power outshining issues at party convention in Chicago
Don't look behind the curtain.
[JustTheNews] A roster of Hollywood-types and musicians including Reese Witherspoon, Billy Porter, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, John Legend and more are scheduled to participate in events during convention week. Platforms and policy? Not so much.

The Creative Coalition non-profit group is reportedly hosting events during the week with a delegation that is expected to include Hollywood actresses and actors Uzo Aduba, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Chris Witaske, Yvette Nicole Brown, Anthony Anderson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Busy Philipps, Jon Cryer, David Cross, Yolonda Ross, Iain Armitage, and Danai Gurira.

The group is also expected to co-host an event with Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer in partnership with Reproductive Freedom for All, End Citizens United and Gabrielle Giffords’ gun safety organization, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The event will include musical performances by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Drive-By Truckers and SistaStrings.

Apparently more famous names have expressed interest in taking part in the convention in some way but the Harris campaign, according to gossip website TMZ, is reportedly being selective, quoting an unnamed source who allegedly said Harris is working hard to avoid the Chicago-based DNC being painted as a "Hollywood liberal elite" event.
Too late.

#2 Seems a good number of rappers who are closer to the 'street' are heading the other direction. Apparently, someone hasn't notice the significant decline in Hollyweird and its culture.
