Last night's Best in Drag annual Aid for AIDS fundraiser at L.A.'s Orpheum Theatre was the place to be for such stars as Kathy Griffin, Martin and Charlie Sheen, Holland Taylor, Rebecca Gayheart and husband Eric Dane, Jennifer Coolidge, Katey Sagal and many more. Bindi Dundat was the hilarious winner of the faux beauty contest. Somebody put this show on TV!
During introductions of celeb attendees, Martin Sheen's presence was recognized, and the entire crowd gave the lifelong activist a rousing and prolonged standing ovation! In contrast, when Perez Hilton was announced, the gays roundly booed the blue-haired round blogger, to which Perez told us "I'm happy to get the gays talking! I'm even happier to raise awareness for Aid for AIDS, a wonderful organization." Priceless!
Charlie and Martin were also the huge donors last night, teaming with co-star Jon Cryer and Brooke Mueller to donate $25,000! Apparently, they love their gays too.

Charlie Sheen and girlfriend Brooke Mueller showed some love for the gays Sunday night at a fundraiser for Aid For AIDS in Los Angeles. The event is an annual, er, beauty pageant where seven contestants in drag battle it out for the title of "Best In Show 2006."
Charlie was one of several celebrity judges who helped pick the winner. Donating nearly four hours of his Sunday night was not the only way that Charlie showed his support, he also made a very generous $10,000 donation to the organization.
The $250,000 raised last night goes towards helping people living with HIV and AIDS pay their rent, utilities and buy groceries when they are sick and incapable of working. Thanks to Charlie, someone will be able able to keep a roof over their head and food in their stomach.
Way to go Charlie!

Christina Aguilera has always been loyal to her gays and they to her. In fact, she loves the gays so much, she's even willing to lend them her music.
Christina lent a local LA drag queen the tracks to her hit song "Ain't No Other Man" for an AIDS fundraiser held by Aid For AIDS in Los Angeles. After searching for the song without Christina's vocals on it and coming up short, the drag queen contacted Christina's management. With Christina's permission the performer was given the tracks and Aguilera's blessings.
Aguilera goes way back with the gays. In the November issue of Blender magazine she admits "It used to be, the only good relationships I ever had were with gay men. That was before I met Jordy..."
