Kindly recall I am the first to have clued you about John Kerry's June 10 fund-raiser. I now tell you more. It's called "A Change Is Going to Come." It's 6 p.m.
Two hours. Radio City Music Hall. Stars Bette Midler, who's a friend of Teresa Heinz Kerry, Whoopi Goldberg, who's a friend of William Jefferson Clinton, Robin Williams, who's a friend of anyone not Republican. Also Jon Bon Jovi, Wyclef Jean, John Mellencamp and Kerry's longtime Boston pal James Taylor. Exec producer is Jann Wenner, the Creator and Lord God Almighty and main man behind Rolling Stone magazine.
The first production is June 7 in L.A. at Disney Hall, featuring Barbra Streisand, Neal Diamond, Willie Nelson, Billy Crystal. "It took several calls to get Barbra. I know her and John himself called her.
Then came Neal. Then Willie and Billy. One manager won't commit until another confirms. Lots of egos have to be checked at the door. I had to say, 'Look, don't do it for me. Do it for the country.' The hosts are Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Ben Affleck, Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman. No speeches, just intros.

Yeah, that was a big flopola........like a Hollyweird mogul after a weak dose of Viagra.
Heheh......nice post.
You are most kind.
Fat chance of that happening. Looks like more than a few washed-up has-beens.
My sentiments exactly.
Just another indication of how out-of-touch these gasbags are. George W Bush gets contributions from hundreds of thousands of people (millions?) in the small dollar amounts, but Kerry has to go to the Hollywood big donors. Just what is it that makes these people so enamored of Democrats? If they really want to do something to make things 'better', why don't they put their money where their mouth is? They certainly have the bucks to start any effort that they desire.
Watched the Actor's Studio a couple of times. Lipton is so fawning that it is sickening. He was described by one TV critic as the world's greatest living gasbag! As for those who make appearances here, it usually coincides with their latest movie release and is therefore just another avenue of promotion. I used to like Costas' show on HBO, but recently he has had on Howard Dean (?!) and it has also degenerated into another plugola platform. (Aren't they all?)
Willie Nelson is out until July from wrist surgery due to carpal tunnel syndrome.
Where does the Democrat Party get their money? Hollywood. Where does Hollywood get its money? From YOU, Sucker, if you go to their productions. NO conservative worth the title should give a dime to any Disney enterprise or any production starring these hate-filled lefties. If you won't even give up this lousy "entertainment" for your principles, you aren't much of a patriot IMO.
They could rent Lenin's corpse from the Russians and place it at the head of the table.
I KNEW IT! Watching him in the show I thought only a liberal could spend and lose 3 million dollars of somebody else's money and think it's HIS restaraunt.
The world will rejoice.
Future generations will give thanks and sing our praises.
America's enemies, domestic and foreign, will curse and weep.
Hold fast!
Not surprised about Rocco the pseudo-restauranteur being a Kerry supporter, either. He does absolutely no work at the restaurant, but fully expects to profit from any success it may have (in spite of his incompetence, that is).
Kerry will be getting $$ from his wife so she can sit on the THRONE.
How come performances aren't "services in kind"?
Gross...she looks like her head is made out of playdough. She looks hard as a rock.
Poor poor James Brolin...she was the end of him.
Good question - have any H'wood "stars" violated campaign financing laws?
Guess he found out fast.......now, how to get out of the marriage deal.
Will do.
Un---figging---believable.
