Obama’s Celebrity Circle: Charlize Theron, Ben Affleck, Spike Lee, Steven Spielberg and Sheryl Crow Party in Denver

A Star-Studded Democratic National Convention in Pictures

It looked like a Steven Spielberg casting session at the Democrats’ Denver festivities - nearly everyone with a SAG card dropped in for a photo op in Mile High City. Anne Hathaway gets cheeky for the cameras at the Google/Vanity Fair party with cohorts Susan Sarandon, Matthew Modine, Josh Lucas and Dana Delany. Meanwhile, Alan Cumming makes a punchy fashion statement.

The harmonic convergence of so many stars in Denver this week has lent this national convention an unprecedented vibe, particularly when it comes to socializing with a purpose. Jamie Foxx and Ashley Judd pose for pics in a party chock full of power brokers.

Among those mingling with the delegates were Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Kerry Washington, Jennifer Lopez, Rosario Dawson, Angela Bassett, Ashley Judd, Kirsten Dunst, Chevy Chase, Josh Brolin, Hill Harper, Fran Drescher and Annette Benning. We absolutely ADORE this photo of John Slattery and Jon Hamm of ShoeMinx’s Favorite New Show of the Season, Mad Men.

Meanwhile, an impressive group of A-list musicians made the convention seem like a weeklong music festival. At Invesco Field on Thursday night, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Wonder, John Legend and others warmed up the crowd for Barack Obama. Jennifer Hudson, the Oscar-winning star of “Dreamgirls,” sang the national anthem.

Kanye West’s concert at the EXDO Event Center was one of the week’s biggest hits. The singer was joined onstage by actor and radio host Jamie Foxx, who also happened to be broadcasting live from the convention hall. Meanwhile, in another part of the city, the Black Eyed Peas rocked the overflowing Fillmore Auditorium before an audience that included Jessica Alba, Hayden Panettiere and Tatyana Ali.

Rufus Wainwright captured the crowd with his haunting cover of Leonard Cohen’s classic “Hallelujah.” He dedicated it to Obama and “his beautiful wife, Michelle.” Back to more famous faces at the Google/Vanity Fair Affair, here we see Spike Lee, Tonya Lewis Lee, Lynn Whitfield and her daughter Grace.

At a Denver screening of her boyfriend Stuart Townsend’s directorial debut, Battle in Seattle, Charlize Theron looks healthy, happy, and mega stylish. There to show off Battle in Seattle as one of the political movie screenings in the Starz Green Room, Charlize huddled with Ben Affleck and Rosario Dawson. We’re sure this opinionated star had plenty to talk about with her fellow Democrats.
