Elton John Hosts Annual Oscars Viewing
By Fatima Rizwan
Hollywood types not lucky enough to nab an invite to the Oscars
this year joined Sir Elton John and David Furnish in West
Hollywood to watch the show in style. In its 21st year, the annual
viewing party to benefit the Elton John Aids Foundation wined
and dined guests with a dinner prepared by Gordon Ramsay, an
auction and a musical performance by Emeli Sandé. The event
raised more than $6 million.
Having a boys’ night out, Jim Carrey, Steven Tyler and Randy
Jackson arrived ready to party. Carrey entertained the crowd with
his quirky outfit — a black suit with taped angel wings on the
back and fake rubber-footed shoes. Meandering over to the main
table, the comedian shared some laughs and serious discussion
with Bono, who was seated next to John.
Also in attendance were Chris Brown, Emma Roberts, Nicki
Minaj, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. Britney Spears, who was
almost unrecognizable in a new brunette do, made a quiet
entrance before heading to the main ballroom to see Sandé
perform. As the music started, the singer whispered of her dress,
“It’s Versace,” before heading closer to the stage with a friend.
Her publicist later clarified that she was wearing Michael Cinco
Couture.

The Kardashian sisters arrived sans beaus ready to have some
quality time. “Lamar [Odom] couldn’t make it, so of course then
Scott [Disick] didn’t come either. It’s a girls night!” Khloé said.
Wearing an all-white Donna Karan gown. Kim leaned over
Kourtney to catch up with Heidi Klum at the dinner table before
posing for pictures with Miley Cyrus and Kelly Osbourne. Naomi
Campbell also joined the girl-power table, chatting with Klum
before Carrey poked some fun at the supermodel during the
auction.
“I won’t start talking until Naomi throws her phone on stage,” he
quipped.
Campbell laughed in good fun but couldn’t help blushing in the
spotlight.
“He did not just say that. I’m so embarrassed,” she lamented to
friend Quincy Jones.
