Hall of Shame
Some of Tinseltown's biggest armchair radicals helped John Kerry rake in more than $3 million yesterday in a Bush-bashing extravaganza of venom. Old folkie James Taylor and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Larry David entertained such limousine leftists as Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner, Danny DeVito, Meg Ryan, Jason Alexander, Lucy Liu, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Christina Applegate, Oliver Stone, Dustin Hoffman, Anjelica Huston, Sharon Stone and Paramount studio boss Sherry Lansing.

Star in Kerry's Hate Fest Franken, a former "Saturday Night Live" star who hopes to take on GOP Sen. Norm Coleman next year, raised the maximum $4,600 from actors such as Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Jason Alexander and Larry David, according to a campaign finance report filed Friday. He also picked up donations from cartoonist Garry Trudeau, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, comedian Bill Maher, Dream Works Studios CEO David Geffen and former vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro.

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.
