The Daily Beast can report that certain famous figures were far less interested in attending Biden’s convention than they are to be there for Kamala’s coronation.
A month ago, Hollywood was ho-hum about the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month. Now celebrities are crawling out of the woodwork to join Kamalapalooza—includingshe is widely rumored to be the headliner on Thursday, August 22, the last night of the convention, when Harris will take the stage to give her acceptance speech.Chrissy Teigenwas still the nominee. That changed when Biden exited the race and Harris became the headliner on the Democratic ticket to take onin November.
And Louis-Dreyfus, who previously performed a series of comedy bits during Biden’s virtual convention in 2020 and has taken on new significance this time around with the resurgence of her HBO seriesIt’s safe to say, DNC officials would love to see Beyoncé be part of history.

Similar requests for comment to stars like George Clooney and Tom Hanks did not receive a response.
So while concerned pundits had been warning that this year’s DNC in Chicago could serve as a bad flashback to the chaos of 1968 that presaged Richard Nixon’s landslide victory, it could end up looking a lot more like the convention that helped American make history in 2008.
