BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The audience at Clive Davis’ white-hot gala included Barbra Streisand, Joni Mitchell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi who got the most requests to take a selfie.

Pelosi received rock star treatment Saturday night from attendees at the annual pre-Grammy event, which also featured a stunning tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, an artist Davis worked closely with for decades.

Pelosi’s sarcastic handclap and smirk to President Donald Trump at his State of the Union address went viral last week and launched hundreds of memes.

So when Davis announced that she was in the audience — Pelosi has attended in the past — she received a standing ovation, while some people even imitated her now-famous handclap.

At the top of the event and as she tried to exit, people asked to take selfies, almost creating a line as Pelosi smiled through them all.

Looks like all the invitees were at least 70 years old!

Man, what I would give to attend a “white hot gala” like that.

Everybody standing around talking about their granite toilets and meeting President Washington.

“White hot gala”?

Isn’t that racist?

Couldn’t they have a black hot gala?

Filthy, stinking racists.

Exactly—who/what is a Clive Davis and why should I care?

The Grammys? Oh yeah it’s that Uber Ghetto/perv awards freak show that nobody watches.

Yawn.............

Maybe they should have invited Joy Behar and Hillary Clinton and they could have put on some of their black face paint and done their duet of Swanee River.

Filthy, stinking racists.

Nancy’s getting to be the punchline in the joke:

Q: What do you find between an 80 year old woman’s knees that you don’t find between an 18 year old woman’s?

A: Her breasts

How could Kareem possibly be a part of this filthy, stinking racist party?

Is a bowl full of tasty shrimp enough of a payment for him to demean himself with these filthy, stinking racists?

Oh, how I miss him doing his famous “Skyhack”!

Officially, Clive Davis is an old bisexual. But I suspect he might be more of an old pedophile.

Clive Davis has been a big BIG deal in American Pop music since the early 1960’s. Some acts signed up and produced by Clive include: Janis Joplin, Aerosmith, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, Air Supply, Alicia Keys, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, Grateful Dead, The Kinks, Whitney Houston and many others.

You can say Clive is a Demo/Lib, and you would probably be correct, but no one can deny the totality of influence that many of these musicians have had in the past 50 years.
Almost the same story for Quincy Jones, but with fewer ‘Discovery Acts’.

“It appears to me that both have had some work done.”

Yep, and Babs’ work is pretty good. She looks like herself. I guess Nancy does, too, but her neck is problematic (platysmal banding). Her problem is recovery time. If she was the socialite she SHOULD have been—sparing We the People her insane power trip—that sucker’d be cinched up ASAP!

Recovery time has to be lengthy at that age.

Right on. All they’d need to do would be to continue putting out crap movies and spout the propaganda to the Useful Idiots.
