GOP fans in Hollywood tend to hold their political activities close to the vest. This reporter was thrown out of a fundraiser for Rick Santorum at a $35 million mansion on Sunset Boulevard after celebrity attendees feared they would be "outed" as supporters. But a conservative network does exist even within the famous liberal enclave, and since the meeting with Priebus, the largely underground effort has picked up steam as the field of 2016 presidential hopefuls has narrowed. "They're holding back to see who emerges. No one wants to back a loser," says Roger Simon, the Oscar-nominated writer of Enemies, A Love Story and co-founder of PJ Media, a conservative website.

Secret meetings?! As in members in purple robes in a circle around a pentagram? Illuminati, Bilderburg Group, Trilateral Commission and Skull & Crossbones members present?

Mary Hart likes Marco Rubio
Probably because they both give people seizures
