    "Celebrity Republicans"

    Lists like this one from last year come out every now and again. This one is particularly long and diverse. Some are more than a little surprising - rapper "Big Boi" and pornography performer Jenna Jameson (apparently a vocal and financial supporter of Repubs,) and Caitlyn Jenner who is a personal friend of "The Donald." Some are predictable like actors Gary Sinise, Tom Selleck and Chuck Norris. Some notables that aren't on this particular list are Kurt Russell, Raquel Welch and Ted Nugent. These lists always seem to include at least one dead guy who in this case is Johnny Ramone.

    So here they are. Not all perfect people, down the line conservatives or libertarians (Big Boi, Jameson, and Ben Stein comes to mind) but people in entertainment and sports who identify as Republicans in the entertainment industry, which does show a certain amount of sand. At least a couple, LL Cool j and Lohan have Republican credentials that are very questionable.

    Denzel Washington, Caitlyn (Bruce) Jenner, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, Kris Jenner, Stacey Dash, Brett Farve, Vince Vaughn, Melissa Joan Hart, Peyton Manning, Mel Gibson, Jessica Simpson, Drew Carey, Adam Sandler, Laura Prepon, 50 Cent, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Owen Wilson, Britney Spears, Nick Lachey, Heidi Montag, Kelsey Grammar, James Earl Jones, Sara Michelle Gellar, Kelly Clarkson, Big Boi, Gloria Estefan, LL Cool J, Cindy Crawford, Shannen Doherty, Tom Selleck, Heather Locklear, Gary Sinise, Alex Trebek, Angie Harmon, Bo Derek, Juliette Lewis, Julie Bowen, Jenna Jameson, Freddie Prinz Jr., Scott Baio, Mickey Rourke, David Lynch, Rachel Hunter, Leann Rimes, David Blaine, Kirk Cameron, Alice Cooper, Kevin Sorbo, Meat Loaf, Tony Danza, Pat Sajak, Chuck Norris, Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Julianne Hough, Dean Cain, Gretchen Wilson, Ben Stein and....drum roll, the late, great Johnny Ramone.

    If you don't recognize some of these people I bet your kids or grandkids will.

    Some of those folks are long dead. And some them are taking their meals through a straw. Some of the names are a little surprising, but keeping in mind this list goes back twenty years it seems.
    If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

        Kevin Sorbo. OK, maybe he's not dead.

          Mickey Rourke looks like he was dead and got better. Does that count?

                  You left out the biggest star of all, Nicole Kidman. I don't know if she is a Republican but right after Trump's election she came out publicly in support of him.

                    It isn't my list, I got it on line, and yes, as I said in the OP, there are people left off but I'm glad to hear about Kidman.

                    Dryheat: One of the things I liked about this list was that it wasn't filled up with dead folks, no folks like John Wayne, James Stewart, Shirley Temple, Charlton Heston or Walter Brennan who usually fill out the lists of successful conservative/Republican entertainers.

                      When you've got Britney Spears, Stacy Dash, Cindy Crawford and Raquel Welch
                      on your team, it can't be all bad.
