— -- Hillary Clinton just announced her candidacy for president and the stars are already lining up.

Hours after the former secretary of state made the announcement that she was making her second run for the Oval Office, Jennifer Lopez told E! News at the MTV Movie Awards, "I'm very excited by the news."

While stopping just shy of endorsing Clinton, Lopez said, "I think it's time for a woman [president]."

Clinton officially put her name in the ring in a video posted on her social media sites Sunday.

I'm running for president. Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion. –H https://t.co/w8Hoe1pbtC

"I'm getting ready to do something too -- I'm running for president," she says in the video. "So I'm hitting the road to earn your vote because it's your time. And I hope you'll join me on this journey."

Quite a few stars are already on board.

"Two Broke Girls" star Beth Behrs was waiting by her Twitter account for the big announcement.
