We're with JACK BLACK, and more as the stars raise funds and awareness
for White House hopeful JOHN KERRY. Tonight on ET, we're with JACK BLACK, "7th Heaven" star JESSICA BIEL, DAVID SPADE and more as they raise both funds and awareness for their candidate! July 07, 2004
Grohl, like Tenacious D and Liz Phair, who both also performed, was in fine spirits at the $150-per-ticket fundraiser (there was also a $500 a head VIP ticket), which turned into a celebration of the announcement earlier that day that Kerry had picked North Carolina Senator John Edwards as his running mate. Awesome," Jack Black said before the show of the choice. "I love that. It gives us the best chance to win." Before the show, Black promised that Tenacious D would "bring it" for the audience, even if it was a presidential fundraiser, and he didn't lie. Black and Kyle Gass opened their hour-long set with a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times" and later played a snippet of Dio's "Holy Diver." The duo mixed in a break-dancing assistant, a live vignette in which a Sasquatch and Spider-Man took on Bush and Cheney with Michael Moore filming (impersonators all). Grohl -- or "Dr. G," as they dubbed him -- took over on drums to join the growing ensemble, which also included a string quartet. Tenacious D closed the set with "Tribute," their self-proclaimed "greatest song in the world," vowing to help rid the country of George W. Bush, or as Black described him, "the worst fucking president in the history of time." Posted Jul 07, 2004 12:00 AM
While the rest of the country was paying tribute to our beloved former president, Hollywood stars were turning up at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills to watch Michael Moore’s latest flight of fancy. A Who’s Who of Hollywood libs flocked to a special screening of Moore’s upcoming celluloid rant called “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Apparently, two screenings of the documentary had to be arranged to satisfy the paranoid palate of the Hollywood elite. Viewers included Martin Sheen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jodie Foster, Ellen DeGeneres, David Duchovny, Sharon Stone, Meg Ryan, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Mark Wahlberg, Drew Barrymore, Chris Rock, Danny DeVito, Rhea Pearlman, Jack Black, Matthew Perry, Josh Brolin, Diane Lane, Marisa Tomei, Billy Crystal, Larry David, Rob Reiner, Aaron Sorkin, Larry Gelbart, Brett Ratner, Tom Hayden, Arianna Huffington, Spike Jonze, Kelly Lynch, Bill Maher, Camryn Manheim, Viggo Mortensen and Leelee Sobieski.
