Jennifer Hudson has been asked to sing the national anthem on Thursday, when Barack Obama will give his address as the official Democratic candidate for president.

"She's thrilled and excited," Jennifer's rep told E! Online. "It's a tremendous honor."

Other A-listers who are in Denver this week are Oprah, George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, Charlize Theron, Kanye West and Sheryl Crow. Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen will be closing the convention on Thursday night.

What a great way for Jen to remind us all that she's still alive and she can sang. She's going to kill it! Jenny's the perfect choice.
