Top 10 Celebrity Clinton Supporters - from sports stars to international icons
2008 Presidential Election - Hillary Clinton has a loyal following of celebrity supporters, from sports stars to media powerhouses to international icons. Some date back to her days as First Lady and have been vocal Clinton backers for over a decade, The New York senator has dozens of famous fans on the campaign trail, and below are Huffington Post’s Top Ten Celebrity Clinton Supporters.
10.) Eva Longoria Parker: She emceed a Town Hall in Austin the day before the Texas primary. “Hillary has proven she has the strength and experience to deliver the change we need,” the “Desperate Housewives” star told the crowd.
9.) Barbra Streisand: A long time supporter of the Clintons, seen here during Bill Clinton’s 1996 bid for re-election, she openly endorsed Sen. Clinton on her website, but has kept a lower profile than in campaigns past.
8.) Magic Johnson: He threw a 300-person fundraiser at his Beverly Hills home last year after Oprah’s Obama do, and has campaigned with Bill and Hill. He’s cited her experience and said, “When I looked at her track record … she has done an amazing job.”
7.) America Ferrera: The “Ugly Betty” star appeared with Chelsea Clinton at a Las Vegas event in January, stumped in Reno and has frequently endorsed Sen. Clinton on the red carpet. She’s a co-chair of “HillBlazers,” the campaign’s youth outreach program.
6.) Mario Lavandeira: Better known as celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, he endorsed Sen. Clinton on Super Tuesday citing her experience, plans for universal healthcare, education reform and emphasis on “equality for all” as reasons.
5.) Natalie Portman: Long a Clinton advocate, the actress told Elle, “She’s so much more polished and experienced than anyone else.” Portman openly differed with “The Other Boleyn Girl” co-star and Obama supporter Scarlett Johansson in W.
4.) Jack Nicholson: The veteran actor filmed a video endorsement of Sen. Clinton weaving in clips of his films and he has praised her experience. “I was raised by women. I know how tough they are when the tough gets going.”
3.) Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen: The Democratic power couple are both longtime Clinton supporters. They’ve hosted the Clintons at their house on Martha’s Vineyard and are regular faces on the Clinton campaign trail.
2.) Elton John: The Brit helped raise $2.5M for Sen. Clinton with a recent concert. “I love you, Hillary, and I’ll be there for you just like all the times you were there for me. Hillary should be the next President of America.”
1.) Ellen DeGeneres: She’s had both Dems on her show but told Clinton, “I like you so much… you are going to defend gay rights as president and eliminate inequalities for same-sex couples in federal law.” She also came via satellite to a DC fundraiser.
Obama’s list is a hundred times better.
Ellen is a fool. Hillary won’t do much for gay rights or equality. All those changes will come from we the people. Politicians are meaningless and Mrs. Clinton is ‘practical’ and does nothing that will create waves.
I guess Clinton’s gay supporters like Perez Hilton and Ellen DeGeneres don’t know that Clinton doesn’t want to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act that her husband passed.
