Here were some of the hottest events this week:
Neighborhood Ball
Barack Obama's campaign reached out to ordinary Americans who funded and supported him, and in the end, caused him to win. With this uniting theme in mind, Obama is hosting the first-ever Neighborhood ball tonight, which everyday Americans will attend. ABC will broadcast the ball live so that people all over the country can take part in it. The all-star lineup inclues Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Stevie Wonder and Nick Cannon.
Green Inaugural Ball
Monday night stars came together, including Will.i.am, John Legend, Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5, and Al Gore, to support President Obama, but even more so, supporting a greener environment. The event itself is a carbon neutral one, and hopes to set a standard in the push to make Washington greener.
We Are One
HBO will air two hours of the concert from 7-9 PM, so if you missed it, there will definitely be clips popping up on the web soon. A wide range of artists included Usher, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Sheryl Crow and others. Queen Latifah, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx and Martin Luther King III all contributed by reading historical passages.
Kids' Inaugural: We Are The Future
One of the greatest thing about the Obama campaign was that it made politics cool again, and showed the younger generations what this country is really capable of. Even kids who were too young to vote came out to show their support. Disney hosted this Inaugural event with some of the most popular young stars of today, including the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato and Bow Wow, Miley Cyrus and her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, Keke Palmer, Usher and Shaquille O'Neal.
