Bill Clinton may have gotten the crowds riled up during his impassioned speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night, but it's the Hollywood celebrities who are bringing the heat.
Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson have proved a very different direction from the Republican National Convention's headliner, Clint Eastwood.
But can star power help re-elect the current president? Obama sure hopes so.
Eva Longoria
This former "Desperate Housewives" star is a co-chair for Obama's campaign. She is one of the most politically active celebs on Obama's side, even engaging in mudslinging herself. Earlier this year, Longoria told the Huffington Post Mitt Romney "is on the wrong side of every issue that pertains to Latinos." She made time in her busy schedule, including opening a new restaurant, to speak on the final night of the convention.
Watch her speech:
Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba has been tweeting non-stop while at the DNC with her husband, Cash Warren—but in this twitpic she posed with "Scrubs" actor, Zach Braff.
Kal Penn
This actor and producer was also the assistant director of the White House office of public engagement. Penn's speech this week included making fun of Clint Eastwood, as well as urging the youth of America to vote.
