I talked earlier about Jennifer Lopez hosting a gala for Marian Wright Edelman, president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund. Jennifer and Ms. Edelman also did some interviews while in Denver.

Jennifer was also interviewed on CNN and talks about using celebrity star power to bring attention to issues:

Jeanne: I’m glad she is, too. She could do a lot of good.
