Oprah on Obama: 'I Cried My Eyelashes Off'
Originally posted 08/29/2008 09:20AM
He's only just become the official Democratic nominee, but it seems Barack Obama already has the celebrity vote sewn up.
His moving acceptance speech at Denver's 2008 Democratic National Convention was watched by a bevy of cheering stars Thursday night.
One of the most moved? Oprah Winfrey, a longtime supporter, who told the Associated Press, "I cried my eyelashes off."
"I think it's the most powerful thing I have ever experienced," added the daytime queen, comparing his words to Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream Speech." (Fitting, then, that Obama's prime-time speech fell on the 45th anniversary of the civil rights leader's famous address.)
But she was not alone in her praise. Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie called the speech "amazing," while Jessica Alba found it "incredible."

Forget The Supremes. Step aside, Spice Girls. This may be the ultimate "girl group" of all time.
Fifteen of the hottest female singers in the world – including Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Fergie and Carrie Underwood – are making beautiful music together for the single "Just Stand Up," the Associated Press reports.
The collaboration, conceived by Antonio "L.A." Reid, who produced the song along with Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, will benefit the Stand Up To Cancer fund-raising drive. (The song will hit airwaves Sept. 2.)
The divas will all unite for a live performance of the single on Sept. 5, during the star-studded Stand Up To Cancer television special, which will air simultaneously on NBC, CBS and ABC. Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson and Charlize Theron are among the A-listers who have signed on for the telethon.

Originally posted 04/23/2008 04:25PM
Fergie is funking up the silver screen with "Labels or Love," the new Sex and the City movie theme song. Although her version is fast-paced pop, the song also gives a nod to the original HBO series by incorporating the show's classic instrumental theme at the beginning and end.
Listen to the song here:
"I grew up watching Sex and the City and I know a lot of my girlfriends did as well," says Fergie. "We felt like these characters were our friends, so to be a part of this project has been amazing."
Fergie's song appears both in the film and on the Sex and the City: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, available May 27. The film hits theaters May 30.
