Biden Inauguration
WASHINGTON (AP) – The stars are back, even if the crowds aren’t. In a return of the A-list to Washington, a slew of glittery celebrities is descending on the capital virtually or in person to welcome the new administration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, a duo popular in Hollywood, where Donald Trump was decidedly not.


They’re led by Lady Gaga, about as big a star as you can get — singing the national anthem Wednesday on the West Front of the Capitol, with Jennifer Lopez and Garth Brooks contributing musical performances.
Stars will also partake in other events, including a virtual parade and a primetime special.
