The upcoming Democratic National Convention is turning out to be more of a star studded event than originally anticipated. Chi-town MC Kanye West marks the latest addition to the A-list celebrities confirmed to attend the event.

Scheduled to be held on August 25 in Denver, Colorado, the DNC is said to include performances by some of music's biggest acts including N.E.R.D and Wyclef Jean. Usher reportedly will also be singing at the event, but he is still in negotiations with the event's organizers.

In addition to those performers, other Hollywood celebs, including Scarlett Johansson, Ben Affleck, Forest Whitaker and Edward Norton, are also coming out to show their support for Democratic nominee Barack Obama.

In other Kanye news, the rapper is also set to premier the video for his sixth single "Champion." Directed by Neon, the clip is said to speak to Ye's personal life including some issues with his father.
