Scarlett is expected to attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver on August 25.

First up, the Democratic National Convention in Denver, which begins, Monday, Aug. 25. Among the big-name performers likely to make a splash in the Mile High City are hip-hop king Kanye West, reggae/hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and the rap/rock fusion band N.E.R.D.

A host of silver-screen and TV actors are also expected to be in Denver, according to convention sources, including: the ubiquitous Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Warren Beatty and wife Annette Bening, Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal (who stars with the late Heath Ledger and Sen. Patrick Leahy in the new Batman movie The Dark Knight), Cheryl Hines (of Curb Your Enthusiasm, a Sleuth fave) and Ed Norton Jr.
