Hillary Clinton was reportedly "furious at the three Hollywood moguls and Clinton "friends who hosted Tuesday nights fund-raiser for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Three of the entertainment industrys biggest names DreamWorks studio founders Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen hosted the private Beverly Hills fund-raiser for Sen. Obama, and checks from Hollywoods A-list of stars including George Clooney, Eddie Murphy and Barbra Streisand added up to a one-night take of $1 million.
The New York Post, quoting a source, said Sen. Clinton "was furious at the three, who she thought were her friends, for supporting her rival.
The source said that someone in Clintons office even called Geffen.
"They were very angry [the moguls] were holding this event. They calmed down after an assurance was made that there would still be support and money left over for [Clinton].
A Clinton spokesperson denied that anyone spoke to Geffen. As NewsMax reported on Tuesday, "Obamas display of celebrity sizzle and campaign dollars challenges any assumptions that Hollywood dollars would default to Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has longstanding ties to the industry, along with her husband.
In a further slight to Hillary, Geffen told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd that Republicans "believe she's the easiest to defeat."
"It's not a very big thing to say, 'I made a mistake' on the war, and typical of Hillary Clinton that she can't," Dowd quotes Geffen as saying.
When asked if Obama can stand up to "Clinton Inc.," Geffen replied: "I hope so, because that machine is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive and effective."

Oooh! Excellent bumper sticker! Somebody, quick print it up!
Politics makes strange bedfellows...eh Hillary?
Testing....test test...best bent wire.....new tag line incoming....can you hear me now......
Someone ought to infiltrate the Clinton Inc machine and have a video cellphone handy "at ALL times" ready to capture the images Hillary would not present to the msm cameras...
Hah, said person would probably be found dead in a park.
Just got home from jury duty and there's so many threads on Hillary alone, where do I start?
What is Hillary yelling about in that picture of her you posted, do you know? Nice trenchcoat's she's wearing. . .
I bet she's one ugly woman when she's angry.
No problem, it's Ash Wednesday and I'm supposed to be fasting. (I intended on giving up Hillary for Lent...but that's not gonna work.) Just read Rush's take first, now it's on to the 37 threads.
Someone help me out here. Isn't there a restriction on giving more than $2000 per person?
By my rough estimate, to get $1M would mean that 500 people gave $2K each.
Have I been duped by modern math? John McCain, how come you and Congress haven't jumped all over this?
She is ugly inside and out.
But the PIG wants all the money.
I love it when socialists fight socialists. Hitler and Stalin redux.
And the blue contacts are so demonic.
Perhaps the Hollywood crowd is also abandoning Hillary because they know her too well.
I'm thinking that somewhere along the way someone will have a camera phone and catch her in a tantrum... it'll hit youtube
