"I've never done an acoustic set by myself," Dave Grohl announced as he took the stage of Hollywood's Henry Fonda Theater last night for a show to benefit the campaign of Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry. An estimated 1,000 attendees, including such celebrities as David Spade,
Eliza Dushku, Jason Biggs, Lance Bass, William H. Macy, Colin Hanks,
Jessica Biel and Lisa Loeb, raised $200,000 for the campaign. For their
efforts, they were treated to a trio of impressive performances. Posted Jul 07, 2004 12:00 AM
Moving right along, Kerry raised money with some big Dems at a sprawling beachside hacienda in La Jolla yesterday, including recalled Gov. Gray Davis and his wife Sharon. Other big names under the big top were former Secretary of State and L.A. lawyer Warren Christopher; former Carter adviser Midge Costanza; and Lynn Schenk, former San Diego congresswoman and former Davis chief of staff. But the real stars came out later Tuesday at a Beverly Hills fund-raiser, held at Ron Burkle's 50,000-square-foot mansion known as "The Green Acres" estate. Singer James Taylor entertained and Kerry earned an estimated $2 million to $2.5 million for the campaign. Roselli provides us with an assortment of A-List celebs who attended (in no particular order): Meg Ryan, Barbra Streisand, Tom Cole, Kevin Costner, Don Henley, Jason Alexander, Helen Hunt, Danny DeVito, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oliver Stone, Tobey Maguire, Ed Harris, Owen Wilson, Ben Stiller, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Lucas Haas, Christina Applegate, Paul Reiser, Martin Short, Tom Arnold, Sharon Stone, Lucy Liu, Lance Bass, James Brolin, Quincy Jones, Peter Boyle, Rhea Perlman and Henry Winkler.
