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.

Not to be outdone by Senator Obama's hip Hollywood fundraiser on August 9, Sen. Hillary Clinton will be hosting a fundraiser at West Hollywood hotspot, The Abbey -- very popular with the gay and lesbian community.You go, girl!
The Democratic candidates will be in town for the Human Rights Campaign's Presidential Forum on GLBT issues. Do ask, do tell!
In contrast to Obama's $250 per ticket, Hills' will cost just $50 per person for general admisson -- such a bargain! But the VIP reception will set Clintonites back $1000! Get out your best blue dresses!

What do Barack Obama, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have in common? If you answered, "They all hang out at Los Angles hot spot Area," you'd be politically correct!
Yes, that's right, Senator Obama will be hosting a fundraiser August 9 at uber hip nightclub Area where L.A.'s "finest" are spotted nightly -- oiling up and making the scene. Obama in the house! This is the same night the candidates will be appearing at the HRC's Presidential Forum on GLBT issues.
Tickets are $250 per person, RSVP required! DUI arrests are the responsibility of individual attendees.
