Hi, friends-

Here’s more on my coverage at the last day of the Democratic National Convention…

On my way to Mile High Stadium to hear/see Obama’s acceptance speech.

Foxxhole political correspondent Eric Wilson

This guy has been donating 35% of all profits to Baracks campaign since the beginning.

Some very nice ladies that I gave a flag to. They were too cute!

This guy was protesting the Catholic church and how it allows child molestation. He had a lot to say.

A blind white man walking with a blind black man…they see the man…not the color. We should all follow their lead.

Protect yourself from John McCain condoms passed out by Planned Parenthood. They are getting the word out that he wants to reduce women’s reproductive rights.

Obama played basketball in high school, so hence the jerseys.

All the condoms had different facts on them about women’s rights and John McCain.

Purchasing my “Obama in a Bottle.” LOL

We got to take a shortcut ahead of the 80,000 in line because we were “press.”

Dogs sniffing and making sure nothing harmful got in to this peaceful event.

How fabulous was this set?

You would not believe the amount of disabled folks that didn’t let any obstacles get in their way to be a part of this beautiful event. It was inspirational.

Very happy and blessed to be here. Thank you Jamie Foxx and Sirius Radio!

This day was the anniversary of MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech.

Jamie Foxx and Claudia

I love my job!

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. He was very entertaining!

Freedom of speech gives us the ability to be entertaining and burdens us with the responsibility to be truthful and enlightening. I don’t mind that one bit!

A performance by Stevie Wonder!

My favorite VP of all time, who should have been Commander in Chief, Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore. See his movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’

Broadcasting with Rolland Martin from CNN. He knows his stuff and is as sharp as they come.

CNN star Rolland Martin and me

Joe Biden- I love his personality and his tenacity!

He had the full attention of every single person of the 84,000 in attendance. His speech as well as his plan was amazing.

Barack Obama looking and being very “Presidential.”

Feeling very proud. Not just because we are both African American, it’s actually deeper than that, proud to be an American in the presence of another great American, Barack Obama.

Foxxhole radio crew minus Jamie. I think he was on his way to the after party. LOL!

People were buying up anything with Obama’s name on it!

I LOVE this shirt.

It’s just that simple: Unity. Do you really need 30 years of experience to recognize that?

Of course there were a few closed-minded protestors that were ignored and laughed at. He couldn’t ruin the night for us.

Hmmm.. how many of these qualities do you posses? This guy was an idiot! Lol at “rebellious women, drunks, liberals and party animals” being a reason for you to go to hell. WOW!

Barack Obama earrings!

LOL at his shirt!

With the Denver PD. They were super nice and had little to do. It was very peaceful and the people in Denver were so polite and considerate. Happy City!

Hey friends!

Well, I was on my way to the airport Monday night to go to NYC for the US Open. On my way, I got a call from my producers at the Foxxhole (the Radio show that I do) and they informed me that I was going to be going to Denver for the Democratic National Convention. As a huge Barack supporter and a life long supporter of the Democratic party, I was both excited and honored by the invitation to witness something historical. So I went home, repacked my bags with my more “presidential outfits” (LOL) and headed to Denver.

Upon arrival into the Mile High City, I couldn’t help but notice the electricity in the air. People seemed so happy and friendly. I saw the most diverse group of people. I saw black,white,pacific islanders, Asians, Hispanics, senior citizens, teenagers, children, disabled, war vets, celebrities and every person we have all become familiar with on CNN. I saw Hillary supporters for Obama showing their support for the Democratic Party. It was amazing. Everyone was wearing pins and waving American Flags. It was a beautiful sight to see. I got to interview Michael Wilson, a life long Republican and for the first time in his life, he was casting a vote for a Democrat. I also talked to the Mayor of Newark, NJ who expressed how excited he was to have his city show their support for Obama/Biden.

When I walked into the Pepsi Center, it was even more spectacular. It was packed and I saw what a melting pot was REALLY supposed to look like. Here we were all colors,ages,religions (I saw Jewish folks as well as some wearing turbans) getting along, shaking hands, taking pictures together, holding signs that said, “UNITY,” and I couldn’t help but feel touched. When I went to my seat and started hearing speech after speech, I wasn’t bored… I was inspired. I laughed at the classic one liners from our feisty soon to be Vice President Joe Bidden, but also cried when he talked about his personal tragedy of losing his wife and child in a car accident.

I got chills and screamed and smiled when the super eloquent Bill Clinton spoke to us and looked at the screen and saw Hilary and Chelsea look like they were finally on board and the Democratic Party was united. Clinton said, “I LOVE JOE BIDEN,” and after learning a little bit more about him, I did too! I was pleasantly surprised at how entertaining John Kerry was when he compared Candidate John McCain to Senator John McCain and he pointed out some serious inconsistencies. He was so funny.

Then there was a war vet who talked about getting injured in Iraq and how Barack Obama came to visit her in the hospital with no cameras and it wasn’t for publicity. She talked about how the war in Iraq has absolutely NOTHING to do with who attacked us on 911. She was so strong. When she walked off we all saw she had 2 prosthetic legs. It was a powerful moment. Then Joe Biden’s adorable wife came onstage and told him that there was a surprise person here to see him.

The entire place erupted when Barack Obama came out to show support to his Vice Presidential pick. People went nuts and I was one of them. It was just a beautiful night. Barack was such a powerful communicator and you get a real sense that he really means what he says and says what he means. Everyone that knows him will tell you he is just a really nice guy and a wonderful man. Being there felt amazing and it’s something I will NEVER forget. It was a positive gathering, not a hate fest towards McCain. 

There was an after party where Kanye West performed with a surprise appearance by my good friend Jamie Foxx. Once again, all races were there and partying together. The entire place sang along… old, young, white, black democrat and quite a few republicans… singing, “she ain’t nothing but a gold digger, but she ain’t messing with no–Brokey Broke!” Hahahahahaha! Classic moment!

My driver Hago, he is from Ethiopia and was so excited to finally be a US Citizen and be able to vote for the first time.He told me about horrible things still going on in Africa. Slavery is NOT over.

Everyone wore Barack/Biden pins. 2 for $5!

Just in case anyone wants to act up and do something stupid. The boys were ready to go. They had a slow day thank God!

With Sway from MTV in front of the CNN Center.

With Michael Wilson, a lifelong republican who supports Obama. He was the first to nominate him.

My interviewing skills at work.

Hollywood was in the house! Actor Malik Yoba.

With my long time friend (since we were 14 years old) Jeff Johnson. He has a political show on BET called “The Truth.”  He’s as smart and gifted as they come. Future Senator, I believe. He is amazing.

My playful interview with the Mayor of Newark. I asked him what kind of after party he would throw if Obama wins. LOL!

With Oprah’s BFF Gayle King.

One of the greatest speakers of all time, and so far my favorite President. Mr. Bill Clinton. He was incredible!

OK, I look goofy here, but I just wanted to show you that I was really tearing up.

I am going to LOVE seeing a lot more of Joe Biden as VP. He is feisty, a fighter, a wonderful dad and has overcome so much. His mom was there and stole the show!

Obama/Biden 08!!!

OK, I totally lost it here. I can’t explain. YOU just had to be there.

My co-hosts from the Foxxhole, The Poetess and Comedian Lou Dix who knew EVERYONE!

With one of my favorite journalist who is so underrated, Ed Gordon!

Yes we can!

Yes I can!

I’m so happy to be a part of this. Please go out there and Ba-Rock the vote! Or whomever your candidate is… it’s your right as a citizen. Don’t waste it!

With Rolland Martin from CNN! He was nice-did you see him dancing on CNN?

People are fed up and ready for a change…

Hey friends,

So, this past week, I had the honor of once again hosting the Little Miss African American Pageant at the Universal Sheraton in Los Angeles. The pageant rewards talent, beauty, performance and intelligence. There were several celebrity judges and a surprise appearance by LL Cool J! The girls ranged in age from 6 to 12 years old and they were all so adorable. These little ladies were amazing! A 9 year-old won a trip to Disneyland for her and her family and a savings bond, among other great prizes. I had a fantastic time talking to the girls and taking pictures and answering questions. I love these kids!

-Claudia

Me and my wonderful co-star, the wildly funny and smart Chris Spencer!

The girls about to go on stage and perform a dance.

There were no shortage of personality!

Special guest and R&B singer Howard Hewitt performed at the top of the show. He was incredible!

The girls were soooooo cute!

I LOVE being around the kids!

Had to make sure everyone was in the picture!

They all took turns hamming it up for the cameras.

The “My Heritage” part of the competition. They all had to do a short monologue about an influential African American.

Special awards to the little angels.

A surprise special guest, LL Cool J, stopped by and surprised all the girls with his support and wonderful message about doing their best in all their endeavors.

And the winner was 9 year old is Mishal Thrower. Congrats to you and all the beautiful girls!

SO last week was a pretty eventful week! First on Monday, July 14th I hosted my good friend and recording artist, Steph Jones’, birthday party at Falcon in Hollywood. It was a fun and sexy crowd. There were lots of out-of-towners in the building for the Espys. Good times and Happy Birthday Steph Jones!

The second event I went to was a party for Benchwarmer trading cards. I have been with the company for years and you can see lots of cute Benchwarmer Girls at www.benchwarmer.com. That night we went by Kress,Villa for LeBron James party and then to STK. There was so much paparrazzi that night it was insane! Hope you enjoy the pictures…

Claudia J

Steph said “I want a fun, hot party for once in my life” I think we delivered!

Singer Eric Benet was in the building. He is so talented and a real nice guy. We could be family!

I was harassing Cedric the Entertainer to come on my show. Cecilly was co-signing! Double team!

Steph, Porscha and Me. Good times with great people

Super stylist to the stars…. Mr. Joe Exclusive!

With my girl and model friend Shelly Rio outside of Villa for Lebron James party-or was that in front of STK? We hit up 3 places that night!

So I co-host a radio show on Sirius Satelite radio with the super talented Jamie Foxx. The show is called The Foxxhole and it’s awesome! Well… Jamie liked what I was doing on the show and blessed me with my very own show. It’s a show on relationships and it’s called The Claudia Jordan Show (The Single Life-was already taken, but that’s what it’s about.) I picked 4 of my girls to join me. They each bring something different to the show. We have a great time and it’s super fun to do.

We have had some celebrity guests on the show like Johnny Gill, 3 6 Mafia, comedians Joe Torry, Chris Spencer and T.K. Kirkland. Also Too Short and Omarosa just to name a few. We also had a show with some very sexy eye candy (Anthony Appollo, Christian Keyes and Marques Jones.) That was one of my favorites! We will continue to keep it real… and real funny! Please check out the show and get a subscription to Sirius radio to listen to us every Monday at 7pm on the west coast/10pm on the east; channel 106 The Foxxhole. Call in at 1-877-210-6106

Enjoy… but know it’s for mature audiences only.

Super star rapper Too Short was a guest on the show! We talked about the “B-Word.”

Being politically incorrect is how I am making my mark in this business! It’s all in good fun though! Doing the show in Miami for Jamie’s 40th B-Day party!

My show would not have been possible if it wasn’t for this man! Thanks Jamie… I love you!

Hey Friends! So I was asked to be the lead girl in R & B super star Joe’s music video. He hired me 8 years ago too to play the lead in his smash hit song “I Wanna Know.” That video was super nice and classy and was nominated for awards. The album went on to sell 5 million copies! I was honored to be hired again to play his love interest.

The song is called “Why Just Be Friends?” In the video I play his friend that he wants to go to the next level with. Billie Woodruff was the director again and he was awesome to work with. Eric Ferrel did the make up and Tanya did the hair. We shot in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills. BET’s Access Granted was there to cover all the behind the scenes activities and the video will hit the airwaves any day now.

Enjoy the behind the scenes pictures! Again…thank you to Joe for having me play his leading lady for the second time!
