List of Celebrities that self-identify as Democrats (or have campaigned for/donated to Democratic candidates)

How do we define celebrity? A celebrity is a famous person that I have heard of at least once. If I hadn't heard of them, the person was Googled ... if I felt they were too "small-time," then I left them off. They must be a singer, songwriter, musician, actor, actress, writer, or cartoonist. Here is a (non-comprehensive) list of celebrities that either self-identify as being a registered Democrat or have campaigned and/or donated to Democratic candidates. The list was fun to compile (although it took a while,) and is not meant as an endorsement of any entertainer(s.) Please feel free to leave comments and add anyway of whom I am unaware.I also apologize in advance for any accidental duplicates.
