Charlotte (CNN) - Clint Eastwood meet Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman and Kerry Washington.

The three actresses, firmly anchored in Hollywood's royalty, have been secretly scheduled to speak at the Democratic National Convention, according to a tentative schedule provided by a source to CNN.

The schedule lists the three actresses as speaking on Thursday evening, the same night that President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will accept their party's respective nominations. Johansson, Portman and Washington are listed as following The Foo Fighters on the itinerary. Convention officials announced that the alternative rock band would perform last week.

A source told CNN the hope is to have the three actresses appear on stage together.

It's unclear if the schedule has been finalized or is subject to change. When contacted by CNN, a DNC official said that no final details about the Thursday program would be divulged at this time.

CNN reached out to representatives for each actress but did not receive comment for Johansson and Portman. A representative for Washington would only say the actress is currently filming in Los Angeles.

Though several celebrities are slated to attend the DNC, appearances by Johansson, Portman and Washington would surely invite special political scrutiny.

I saw the trailer for Clint’s new movie when I saw “2016.” Very appropriate, and I was thinking, “I will go see that to support Clint, and it also looks like a very good movie!”

Using Hollyweird celebrities to draw a crowd. Things are worse than I thought for the Democrats.

Evidently pandering to the whack-off vote. I thought they already had it locked up.

Well considering the theme of the rest of the DNC, I suspect they are either going to french kiss on stage or burn a bible.

Scarlett Johansson is a great example of how makeup and good lighting can have a huge impact.
A completely average girl.


Would you believe she was a movie star if you saw her like this?

How ironic. Portman got an award for a movie called “Black Swan”...

Ah, yes, Scarlett. A Hollywood braniac who's famous for boinking elderly Sean Penn at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last year (2011).

Scarlett was being hit on by an Obama staffer in texts in 2008. The story came out when it almost started to sound like a sex scandal. She thought it was really Barry.

So in keeping with the theme of the DNC of perversion, delusion and demagoguery the three are going to have a menage live on stage.

Portman also portrayed a leader of a people that would have been able to defend themselves from an invading force if they were allowed to be armed. (Star Wars)

Then she comes out as a gun control advocate.

Perhaps they can reenact a lesbian love scene on stage to put flesh on the policy of nondiscrimination against people because of who the love. Mom, apple pie, and fisting. This aint your grandma’s DNC. It’s hip.

Considering the theme of the DNC this year is perversion, diversion and demagoguery they just might do that

You gotta love Dims. At least they’re consistently inconsistent.

Johansson, Portman and Washington

Wow. Who are they? I am apparently out of the Hollywood loop.

Rowdy Yates, I remember.

Johansson, Portman and Washington? I don't have a clue and not interested enough to even Google them.

I know only the first two, but not very well. Are they considered “Hollywood Royalty” by anyone other than the young? Seems like they’d have to pack on a few decades of great character roles to become true “royals” by old Hollywood standards, but what do I know?

the hope is to have the three actresses appear on stage together.

The first thought I had were the three witches from Clash of the Titans (that wasn’t very nice though)

Obama is first and foremost a celebrity. He identifies with Hollywood glitterati, he frequently hosts them at the White House and he shares their one-dimensional values. The night of his inauguration he snubbed a ballroom of Medal of Honor winners and their families to drink and chat in a luxury suite with over-paid narcissists who sometimes portray heroes.

Let them trot out all the no-talent celebritards they can find...It just highlights how morally and philosophically bankrupt the whole progressive (bowel) movement is. This kind of crap plus the “platform” confirms the DNC is the Pagan Party.
