Republican National Convention Taylor to play?

The Democratic National Convention will be held August 25-28, and we bet a lot of people would love to be there whether they support presumptive nominee Barack Obama or not. And stars are no exception: Gossips are predicting an unprecedented level of celeb sightings next week in Denver.

For some, the stop in Colorado is just another day on the job: Ed Norton has been working on a documentary about Obama, so of course he'll be there armed with a camera, and Ben Affleck will be joining a panel on international relations with former Secretary of State Madeline Albright. And the Black Eyed Peas (including "Yes We Can" songwriter will.i.am.) are headlining a gala for conventioneers who don't mind the screeches of Fergie.

Others, like Scarlett Johansson, seem to be signing up just to hang out without any particular agenda. To no one's surprise, early Obama promoter Oprah will be in for the convention; she even rented a house in Denver instead of booking a block of rooms in a posh hotel.

Will there be any famous people left for the Labor-Day-adjoining Republican National Convention? Sure! Gretchen Wilson will perform and Patricia Heaton and Taylor Hicks are expected to make appearances in Minneapolis. And of course, there's always Ahhhnold!

Really? I wouldn't have thought Tay to have Republican leanings. That's interesting.

I just think it's interesting, period. Where else is the silver fox going to show up so we can have a Hicksfix? hehehe (just being silly here.)

Over on HQ, looks as though Gypsee squashed this rumor.

I don't remember if Taylor has ever mentioned if he's Democrat or Republician has he? He did visit the President. Who knows I guess we'll find out.. I heard he was going to be at both of the Conventions

I don't neccessarily need to know his political party, I just think he gets out there to perform. Either way I feel he is letting us know he is still around.

To mnay rumors and not enough truth. Im glad gypsee figuared it out.. thanks!
