Ben Affleck was one of the first A list celebrities in Hollywood to endorse the junior Senator from Illinois.
Affleck’s commitment to Obama knows no bounds. Whether its wearing an Obama T-Shirt while going for coffee with his wife Jennifer Garner and baby Violet, or speaking on the campaign trail, Affleck will be a face often seen in the Fall Presidential campaign.
Affleck is long a political activist and many believe he will someday run for office.
The Obama girl is not the only female with a crush on the potential next President of the United States.
This superstar may serve as Woody Allen’s muse of late, but it Scarlett Johansson’s support as well as Affleck’s that made it OK for those in Hollywood to pop on that Barack Obama pin.
Johansson is routinely passing out Obama buttons, bumper stickers and even gave a shout out to the candidate on her debut CD’s liner notes.
Also watch for Johanssen to appear for Obama as the candidate wishes.
She has already been a part of video compilations put together by Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am.
Another early supporter of Barack Obama, “Private Practice” star Kate Walsh is never seen without her Barack Obama pin. Whether stylishly sporting it on a dashing coat or flashing the two-handed “O” to paparazzi that follow her every move, when it comes to passion for politics, Kate Walsh has a heart solely set on Obama’s historic run to become America’s first African American president.
Obama’s first celebrity endorsement was the biggest. Oprah Winfrey came out for her local Senator in the early going. It was her on the campaign trail in South Carolina that convinced African Americans that this candidate was for real and they, as a people, had a true shot at making history if they got behind the man from the South side of Chicago.

This is a fun week on MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew for anyone who’s tried to learn a dance popularized by the internet or in clubs. Competing teams were assigned to reinterpret a recent web or club phenomena, with an added challenge thrown in. Most crews, while creatively reinventing popular moves, didn’t come through as well on their challenges.
“Live in Color,” the Miami group best known for its lightening speed pelvic contractions, which judge Lil’ Mama calls “booty pops,” was given DJ Unk’s “2 Step,” a Stepping dance whose footwork the team captain noted was easy; the difficulty lay in putting character to those steps. They did the basic moves with all of their regular fast fun flair, and added their own spin with a series of those “booty pops,” isolations with attitude, and a short ballet section by one couple. I appreciated that with last section that they tried something different, but unfortunately the woman seemed to have a little ballet less training than the man and their spins were not in sync and looked a bit sloppy. Their challenge was to exchange clothing at some point during the routine. This they did by having one man rip off his shirt and throw it to the dancer beside him, who quickly slid his arms through the sleeves, a daunting task when keeping the beat to such fast music. But, as with most teams, they performed the challenge only once and it wasn’t tremendously creative. I liked better some of the tricks they were trying in practice sessions, particularly where one woman whipped her scarf over another’s head and kind of roped her in with it.
The second team, the all-male JabbaWockeeZ performed to Dem Franchize Boyz’s “Lean Wit it, Rock Wit It,” another hit dance with easy moves geared toward general club dancers. Their soft, quiet movement with intricate isolations made for a wholly different dance, even while many steps were the same. They really owned it, and beautifully so. One man did a “flair” floor spin using his hands to whip his body around repeatedly, and in the midst, amazingly, caught a red handkerchief thrown at him. Their challenge was to create the illusion of flying, which, after initial confusion on receiving the task, they ended up executing brilliantly. At the end, four men kneeled, with two men behind them, one only his head and arms peeking out behind the first man in the row, the other only his legs visible from the end, so that the two back men appeared to be one flying Superman. With the team’s poetry, and the soft undulating movement of the former’s arms and the latter’s legs, it also evoked a fish or bird.
