Sir Elton John and partner, David Furnish, played host to nearly 700 guests at the 15th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party at the Pacific Design Center on Sunday night.
P. Diddy, Jon Bon Jovi and event co-chair Sharon Stone were seated at the host’s table while nearby Kid Rock sat flanked by a pair of bombshell blondes. Guests dined on their choice of filet mignon or filet of sole and chocolate mousse with saffron sauce for dessert.
Dinner was followed by an auction hosted by Jamie Niven of Sotheby’s. Items up for bid included an invitation to John’s very exclusive 60th birthday party in New York and two tickets to his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. When the bidding reached a quarter of a million dollars, guest emcee, Stone, negotiated with John before telling the second bidder, “Elton would like to invite you as well at $250,000.”
Not to upstage the evening’s host, the second bidder accepted the invitation allowing the foundation to reach its goal of $4 million, which prompted the crowd to give John a standing ovation.
“Elton used to give these parties and they were very small so we only raised a few hundred thousand. But now we’re raising millions and it’s because of you, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I do believe there will be a cure one day,” said Stone, who took the mic and never let go, even after a few drinks. “I was sitting at a table with P. Diddy and Jon Bon Jovi and I got a little messed up. It’s not my fault really. Shit happens. Cause I’m a bad girl. When you get to town, you get to pick an image for yourself and I picked the bad one.”
Eventually John was joined on stage by Grammy-winner James Blunt and his four-piece band. After opening with a Blunt tune, the “You’re Beautiful” singer suggested to the host “we should do one of yours.” Quipped John: “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours,” before the two launched into “Tiny Dancer,” which got the crowd singing along. The duet was followed by a strictly-Blunt set as Sir Elton bid farewell to his guests, who included Sheryl Crow, Dita Von Teese, Cheryl Tiegs, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Eddie Izzard, Vincent Gallo, Eric McCormack and the Osbourne family.
