The line-up for the entertainment at the official inaugural balls follows after the jump. We were pleased to see that each personage is given a one-word tagline, in case you didn’t know that “Kelsey Grammar” is an “Actor” or “Gloria Estefan is a “Singer,” or — okay, we were a little surprised to learn that “Don King” is “Boxing.” Of course, they’re all “Whores.”
