President Elect Barack Obama Asks For Unity

The man has his work cut of for him, that's for sure, and he acknowledged that in his speech last night.

"We know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime -- two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century," Obama said in his victory speech in Chicago's Grant Park. "There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created, new schools to build and threats to meet and, for us to lead, alliances to repair."

He said the solutions wouldn't be quick or easy -- perhaps not even achievable with one term. "I promise you -- we as a people will get there," Obama said.

Everyone, grab a cocktail, and join Barack Obama in preparing yourselves for the time of your life!

Check out John McCain's very gracious speech conceding the election after the jump.

Introducing President Barack Obama!

In a sweeping victory, the United States has just elected its very first black president!

Voters turned out in record-breaking numbers this election season with Democratic candidates Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden winning the presidential race over Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Congratulations to our new president! This was a historic year on both sides, with the GOP providing the U.S. with the first female vice-presidential candidate on their ticket.

Between the campaign and the Olympics this summer, it's probably a fair assessment that the entire country is going to need a nice, long nap to recover from the excitement of this year.

(CORRECTION: We neglected to remember Geraldine Ferraro from the 1984 election, who was the first female VP nominee on a presidential ticket. Sorry about that. Election day excitement got the better of us!)

Barack Obama Loses His Celebrity Entourage

The darling of Hollywood Democrats, Barack Obama has received substantial amounts of public celebrity support throughout the course of his presidential campaign.

However, the mourning politician has instructed his high-profile supporters to give him a wide berth this evening, according to TMZ. A spy revealed, "There really only needs to be one star in Grant Park and that's Barack." Except for Oprah Winfrey, of course. All hail her majesty, the Mighty O!

If Obama is successful in his bid for the presidency, then he's going to of course invite his famous friends to celebrate with him for the inauguration. Party at Barack's house!

Lindsay Lohan Eats, Blogs & Encourages Voting

Returning to her MySpace blog to vent, Lindsay Lohan published a post last night entitled "VOTE," hoping to rally her fans into taking it to the polls today. The actress, who has already spoken out in support of Democratic candidate Barack Obama made her political stance clear by writing:

obama for president :)
VOTE NO ON PROP 8
VOTE NO ON PROP 4

Prop 8 is the initiative hoping to ban same sex marriage and Prop 4 is the Abortion Waiting Period and Parental Notification Initiative, both of which are on the ballot in California.

And being political can give a person quite an appetite with Lindsay here stocking up on Chinese food from Panda Express in Pavillions for her and girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

Hip Hop Stars Promote The Vote

With election day creeping up in a few hours, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Sean Combs and Mary J. Blige took to the streets in Philadelphia as a last-minute campaign effort to encourage voters to take it to the polls tomorrow for Barack Obama.

In between performances just outside the city's historic Uptown Theater, the hip hop artists chatted with the 10,000 strong audience about the historic occasion. "Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly," Jay-Z told the crowd.

Diddy said, "I was too scared to say it because I thought I would be laughed at. It's a new day right now and my son is in fourth grade and when they ask him what he wants to be, now he can say he wants to be president of the United States. That's all because of Barack Obama."

And MJ said, "No more drama! It's time for Obama!" OK, she didn't, but in a perfect world, she would have!

News Bites: Salma Hayek Still Hanging Onto That Sugar

Salma Hayek was snapped enjoying a soccer game on Sunday in the French city of Rennes with her ex and the father of her daughter Valentina, Francois-Henri Pinault. Salma and Francois called off their engagement in July, only ten months after Valentina Paloma was birthed. "They were very together," said a fan who reportedly ignored the game to stare at these two. "They talked a lot during the match and exchanged tender looks. ... They seemed very much in synch with each other." Were they swimming, dancing or working on a presentation together? What does that mean? Did they reach for their champagne flutes at the same time? And what's Salma's game? Is this a birth a baby for a gay billionaire best friend situation?

The Sun reports that Mobo Awards favorite and Simon Cowell's favorite singer Leona Lewis says that if Barack Obama wins the U.S. presidency tomorrow, it could help Britain. "I just don't know what's going on with the young kids in London now," she says. " I think Barack Obama could inspire young ethnic minorities in the UK to do something productive and show it's not cool to do nothing with your life. Who gets elected president of America is important for everyone in the world, because they end up running our country too." Lewis reportedly feels a kinship with Obama due to them both being of mixed race. Thank you, Leona. But don't come here and try to vote in some sort of wrong-headed maneuver. We need this all on the up and up tomorrow.

Last season's American Idol winner and runner-up David Cook and David Archuelta will both be releasing their debut albums this month, and we're all on the edge of our seats as to whether arrogant chin pubes or tiny drama festival performer will come out on top. They seriously rush these people into the studio, huh? They just don't want to end up like this chick.

BREAKING: Barack Obama's Grandmother Madelyn Dunham Has Died

The day before her grandson Barack Obama is set to face off against John McCain in the presidential election, Madelyn Dunham has passed away at the age of 86. The Democratic candidate and his sister Maya Soetoro-Ng released a statement to the press about their deceased grandmother, who had been battling cancer.

"She was the person who encouraged and allowed us to take chances. She was proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and left this world with the knowledge that her impact on all of us was meaningful and enduring," the statement said.

A small ceremony will be head for family "at a later date" for Dunham, who enjoyed a close relationship with Barack. In his book, Dreams From My Father, the presidential hopeful presented her as an integral figure in his life.
