TOP design house Versace agreed to provide a dress for former president Bill Clinton’s toothy daughter Chelsea at a fundraising dinner she was hosting in London in aid of the British Red Cross last week. Chelsea, a Versace press release said, would be wearing a fetching "black, round-necked trouser suit with fitted zip-up jacket and black round-necked top from the Versace house’s spring/summer 2003 collection". [A black pantsuit - how original!]
Unfortunately, nobody seemed to have told Versace, according to the British Red Cross announcement, that it was a "private" function and the press were not invited. Versace’s generosity, therefore, went largely unnoticed. source
Has anyone else ever heard of a private, no-press-allowed Red Cross fundraiser?

Chelsea Clinton will be hosting a fundraising dinner on Thursday 8 May at Sartoria, 20 Savile Row, W1, in aid of the British Red Cross. 10 of Chelsea’s friends will be attending the event which, together with other fundraising activities, aims to raise £15,000 [In other words, a 1500 pound per plate dinner. Yikes!] to help fund Red Cross HIV/AIDS work in Africa. ...
Speaking about the event. Chelsea said: "I am grateful of the opportunity to support the British Red Cross’ vital HIV/AIDS work in Africa. That work, like this event tonight, helps combat the medical, political, economic and social crisis that HIV/AIDS is in Africa and increasingly, around the world."
David Alexander, Director of International, British Red Cross, said, ‘We are delighted that Chelsea Clinton is supporting the vital work of the Red Cross. Money raised on the night will make a huge difference to our work in Africa. We are also very grateful to Conran Restaurants for generously donating a delicious meal, private room and staff for the evening at Sartoria.’ British Red Cross
I wonder if Miss Chelsea isn't preggers?
