Paul Simon stumped across Iowa with Chris Dodd 10 days ago, marking the official start to the 2008 Celebrity Primary season; earlier Steven Spielberg endorsed Hillary Clinton, while his fellow Hollywood titan David Geffen shifted his support to Barack Obama.

* Hank Azaria ("Huff," voice of many "Simpsons" characters): Co-hosted an L.A. fundraiser for John Edwards.
* George Clooney: Vows support for Obama to Time magazine. ("I've actually had that conversation with him, just saying, 'Look, I'll give you whatever support you need -- including staying completely away from you.' ")
* Matt Damon: Also tells Time of his support for Obama. ("I think a lot of the problems in the world would be mitigated if he were the face of our country.")
* James Denton ("Desperate Housewives"): Will co-host a fundraiser for Edwards.
* "Babyface" Edmonds: Performed at a Clinton rally in D.C., along with "American Idol's" Katherine McPhee.
