Jamie Foxx, Fran Drescher turn out for Obama party
August 23rd, 2008
Looks like Hollywood has Barack Obama’s back in the next presidential election. Or at least part of it does.
Jamie Foxx, Fran Drescher, Lucy Liu and several other celebrities of varying fame turned out last Thursday to celebrate his potential election to the spot of President of the United States at a swanky party. VIP donors had to pay $2,300 to get into the private home in Beverly Hills.
Once inside they were faced with fine catering, good food and lots and lots of people in black and white. Like penguins only classier. The whole shebang was hosted by Theresa DeBell, who hosted the event with husband Robert Siegel.
Drescher, who’d originally stood staunchly behind Hillary Clinton, swapped sides to Obama after the primaries that saw Obama win the democratic nomination. She noted that she hopes Obama will choose Clinton as his running mate.
The event raised over $200,000, all of which went to Obama’s campaign efforts.
(Ironically, it doesn’t seem that Obama attended the party.)
