Williams is on death row for allegedly murdering a convenience store worker as well as two motel owners and their daughter on separate days in 1979.

right Snoop spoke out last weekend at a 1,000-person strong rally outside San Quentin State Prison, saying "his voice needs to be heard," while Jackson prayed with Williams at San Quentin and told him "we are going to fight for you and we are going to win." Foxx used the red carpet as a pulpit, speaking to the press at the New York premier of his latest film, Jarhead.

They are hoping to persuade Governor Arnold Schwarzenneger that Williams' life should be spared.

The stepmother of victim Albert Owens, however, is angered by the celebrity support for Williams. "I think most of them are abusing their popularity and their access to the media," Lora Owens told the AP. "It's an agenda. If they looked at the facts, then they'd realize Williams has not done anything to deserve clemency."

Williams' lawyers are hoping to secure a meeting with Schwarzenegger who recently told reporters of the scheduled execution: "it's never a fun thing to do. You're dealing with someone's life."
