Woot! A new day has dawned here in America … and the World … and while there is still much to celebrate, there is also much work to get done in the aftermath. It’s also time to get back to the goss ;) Yesterday I created a photo album of friends and Pink readers proudly showing off the I Voted stickers (or handmade signs) that they were given after they voted yesterday and today we get to see a whole bunch of photos of celebs showing off their I Voted stickers, too. Americans came out in record numbers to vote yesterday and those numbers included celebs … here are a few of them who exercised their right to vote yesterday:

Depending on where the celebs live, these photos were snapped in NYC and here in LA. Here is another batch of celebs who came out to vote yesterday:

I’m pretty sure that some of these celebs were voting for President for the first time in their lives and it seems pretty safe to assume that the lion’s share of them added to President-elect Barack Obama‘s historic win.

I’ve been getting emails and messages from around the World of folks cheering on Obama‘s victory as news of his election as the 44th President of the United States of America made headlines around the world. Here are a few of the UK papers splashing the news across their covers:

David tells me that newsstands all over NYC are selling out of copies of The New York Times, etc. so I would suggest that y’all snap up your local newspapers — wherever in the country you are — and put them away for posterity. I’m just sayin’ ;)

Madonna was in concert in San Diego, CA last night and was on stage when news of Obama‘s win was announced … she happily broke the news to her assembled audience and talked a little bit about the momentous nature of the win while on stage. After the jump, check out video of her impromptu speech …

OH yeah, we all know that Maddy was a huge proponent of Obama‘s campaign for the White House, she looked pretty ecstatic on that stage :) I, personally, am a little politicked out. I’m very sad that Prop 8 may yet still win (as of this morning they were still counting ballots, 3 million absentee ballots have yet to be counted) but I’m hopeful that the struggle for EQUAL RIGHTS for ALL AMERICANS will come one day soon. I’ve always believed that marriage rights for all will come to this country on a national level not a state-by-state level. I look forward to the day when the Supreme Court rules that EQUAL RIGHTS should be enjoyed by all Americans much like they did when they outlawed segregation in this country. BUT … that is a conversation for another day. Today, we revel in our new President-elect and we carry on towards a hopeful new tomorrow.
