Jennifer Lopez was on hand to honor Marian Wright Edelman on Wednesday at the Colorado Art Museum.

Jamie Foxx has made it into town, showing up at the Recording Industry of America Party at the Endo Center after watching Bill Clinton's speech in the Pepsi Center.

Salazar on Jennifer Lopez: "She truly is the American dream."

Jennifer Lopez: "If I had a dollar every time someone said, 'Don't do it, Jennifer,' " when it comes to starting a charity, "I could provide health care for every man, woman and child in this country." And, "Yes it is hard, but it takes only one person to say 'I don't care how hard it is, I'm going to do it, going to see it through.' " The strangest thing about this whole event wasn't the curious celebrities who appeared, but that the usually hammy Gov. Richardson didn't say one word.
