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.

LOS ANGELES (Talon News) -- During a fundraising event for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry last Thursday dubbed "An Evening With John Kerry and Friends," outspoken liberal singer Barbra Streisand took the opportunity to bash President George W. Bush in song and then call him "narrow" and "privileged."

The event, which reportedly raised $5 million for Kerry, was held on June 24, 2004 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California with a host of Hollywood celebrities and entertainers on hand, including Ben Affleck, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Benicio del Toro, Robert DeNiro, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kirsten Dunst, Rob Reiner, Laurence Fishburne, Gina Torres, Dustin Hoffman, and Ben Stiller, among others.
