With so many boldfaced names speaking out, giving money and hitting the campaign trail on behalf of Barack Obama it can be hard to keep them straight. Below are Iflove Top Ten Celebrity Obama Supporters.
10.) Jennifer Aniston: The “Friends” icon has donated $2300 to Sen. Obama’s campaign. Perhaps she’s just keeping it in the extended family, as ex-husband Brad Pitt was recently revealed to be Obama’s ninth cousin.
9.) Robert De Niro: The actor endorsed Sen. Obama at a New Jersey fundraiser and has defended him against allegations of inexperience, saying that a candidate who hadn’t gotten his country into war had “the kind of inexperience I can get used to.”
8.) Chris Rock: The comedian introduced Sen. Obama at an event in Harlem, not too far from the Clinton campaign headquarters. He has donated $4600 to Sen. Obama’s campaign.

5.) George Clooney: A self-proclaimed “Obama guy” Clooney says the senator has the “aura of a rock star.” He appeared with Obama at a panel on Darfur in ’06 and has often voiced support, although he says celebrity endorsements can do more harm than good.
