While I watch the Inauguration of Barack Obama, and get many shivers up and down my spine I thought I would find out how the celebrities are spending the day. Today opens up so many doors and I’m confident that this is a good thing for everyone that Obama is President.
MEGAN MULLALLY-”I’m not going to go, but I’m definitely going to watch. Are you kidding me? It’s history. I feel really hopeful about the whole thing. I just feel like, it’s hard to say it without sounding like a big gigantic cliché, but don’t you feel like there’s change? I feel very hopeful about everything. I think it’s really great the way he’s built his cabinet and the diversity. It feels very new.”
CONAN O’BRIEN-“I’m like that guy that the test is tomorrow and it’s 10 p.m. the night before.”
AMY POEHLER-“I’ll be watching, definitely watching. Just celebrating, celebrating, celebrating.”
DEMI LOVATO-On performing at the Disney Channel’s Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future concert: “It”s not just another president. What’s great about having the Disney Channel at the inauguration is now kids can be able to realize what a great experience this will be … I’m ridiculously nervous to a point where I don’t know what I’ll be able to do with myself. And I really hope I don’t fall.”
PORTIA DE ROSSI-“Don’t we all have so many hopes for that poor man?”
KIEFER SUTHERLAND-“I’m going to watch it on the telly like most other people.”
NICK JONAS-”It’s absolutely an honor to be able to perform. We’ve always talked about a future in the White House one day, so to be able to go back should be fun. What we’re doing is all for the children and families of the military … We know that Sasha and Malia [Obama] are fans of ‘Burnin’ Up’ which is probably what we’ll playing.”
JENNIFER BEALS-”I’ll be there. I started working for the campaign during the primaries. Then I went to Ohio to speak. I went to Pennsylvania twice, knocked on doors, phone banks, talked to five, 10, 500 people, just did as much as I could. He means the change that you want to see in yourself. The economy is first and foremost, obviously.”
PAULA ABDUL-“I’m going to be in Tampa on Home Shopping. I’m going to watch with my friends.”
JASON BATEMAN-“I”m excited … we’re putting a new face on the leadership of this country, somebody representing all of us Americans that is a bit more appealing to the rest of the world, somebody who comes from a bit more of a common-sense position. That’s been lost for the last eight years. In fact, I’m going to be shooting a PSA for him, a pledge — you’re trying to pledge what you plan on doing to sort of better the country. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, a bunch of people [are going] to make it. We’re going to deliver it to Obama, I think, on Inauguration Day.”
DENIS LEARY-“We’re going to be watching at work. Larenz [Tate] is going so my plan is to call him on his cell phone as often as I can that day and see if he’s finagled himself into the White House or not. We’re just looking for ashtrays and souvenirs that he can steal and bring back on set because he has to be back at work the next morning.”
AMBER TAMBLYN-“It’s going to be amazing. I have friends flying to New York tomorrow, who are going to take the train down to D.C. They’re coming from L.A. to go to it. Everyone is doing something for it.”
EDIE FALCO-”I was invited. I’d give my right arm but we’re in the middle of production, so we’re going to watch it on set.”
JIMMY FALLON-“I’m doing Ellen on Tuesday and then after that I guess I’m just going to watch it. I guess I’ll just watch it on TV but I’m excited about it. Change is good.”
SCOTT FOLEY-“I hope to watch it if I’m not working. I don’t have any plans specifically for the inauguration aside from the same kind of plans I had during the election, turn the TV on and be a part of history that way.”
SHIRLEY MANSON-”Hell, yeah, of course. I’ve got my Obama T-shirt ready. I’m going to wear it the whole way through. Like most of my friends and people that I know, I’m really excited about his possibilities and potential.”
SETH MacFARLANE-”It’s going to be a clusterf–k, but I’ll be watching. We all fought hard to make this happen. Here’s my theory: It’s going to take one term just to undo everything that George Bush has f–ked up. And by the way, not just George Bush but Reagan. too … So I think, step one, we have to admit to ourselves we have to give Obama two terms, and we have to let the Democrats continue to undo everything that’s gone wrong since the ‘80s. My fear is that eight years will roll by, assuming he gets elected a second term, and they’ll go, ‘Why didn’t he fix everything completely?’ And they’ll elect Sarah Palin, who will completely take the country to s–t, and if that happens, we do not deserve to be the dominant power any longer.”
I know everyone is going to want to revel in this day of history. It’s great that the world has become open-minded enough to allow an African-American President. Obama Rocks!
