Kim Kardashian is coming to the DNC.

Not sure if this is the kind of celebrity endorsement Barack Obama is looking for, but given her high profile — she is just 3 million shy of the president's 19 milion followers on Twitter — perhaps it doesn't hurt to lend a little more (reality) star power to the convention.

No word on if her current squeeze, Kanye, will also be attending.

Other stars include "surprise guests" Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington. Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria is expected to speak and the Foo Fighters, are also reportedly in the roster.

At 8 p.m. actor Kal Penn, will be hosting an online panel featuring tinsel-town stars Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, Zack Braff, Marc Anthony and Alexis Bledel.
