There's one positive coming from Dionne Warwick's canceled-at-the-last-minute American Music Inaugural Ball -- all the unused food is now being served at food shelters across D.C.
The D.C. Central Kitchen -- which has been around for nearly 20 years -- was given 2,500 pounds of ribs, pork loin, chicken parmesan, baked goods and fruit by the Marriott Wardman Park -- where Dionne's ball was set to go down.
The Kitchen distributed the food to nearly 100 shelters and social-service agencies.
We're told the one leftover the Marriott didn't donate to the Kitchen was ... the champagne.

Dionne Warwick may be headed back to San Jose sooner than she thinks. Her unofficial inaugural ball has just been canceled because of slumping tickets sales. She couldn't see that coming?
Don't pass it off to age either. Ludacris was hosting a ball as well that got 86'd for the same reason.
We're told the suckers who shelled out money for the events will get refunds in 30 to 45 days.
What we're wondering: Will Dionne get kicked out of the hotel she was bragging about.

While tons of powerful celebs can't seem to pay or starpower their way into a hotel anywhere close to Obama's inauguration, the former face of the Psychic Friends Network somehow locked up one of the primest spots in DC.
Not only is Dionne Warwick hosting the American Music Inaugural Ball at the Marriott Wardman Park -- she booked one of the best rooms they have to offer ... we checked.

Dionne Warwick has been laying low for some time now -- but a TMZ cameraman was able to ask her the two best questions ever.
Why didn't Dionne's friends at the psychic network warn her?

O.J. Simpson still owes California $1.4 million in back taxes, and now the state's trying to use the Internet to shame him into paying up. (Good luck!) But even so, he's hardly the biggest celeb tax cheat in Cali.
Do you know the way to Sacramento? Dionne Warwick has been dodging a $2.6 million tax bill that's been outstanding for over ten years, according to Franchise Tax Board records just posted online for everyone to see (and first reported by AP), which puts her at number 17 on the listing of the 250 worst offenders. That's what caller ID is for!
And then there's comedian Sinbad, who can't be laughing about the $2.1 million he still owes California. But without doubt, the oddest listing is for the Juice, who supposedly hasn't had any income on which he would have to pay -- and yet he still owes over $1.4 million in taxes?
Clarification from the tax authority and Simpson's lawyer was unforthcoming. And reps for Sinbad and Dionne had no comment.
