Dem-Supporting Celebs Snub Republicans
Lots of celebs came out last Thursday to the AmfAR Inspiration Gala to honor CAA managing partner Kevin Huvane, including Sarah Jessica Parker, Chelsea Handler, and Kate Hudson, who stunned in a low cut red Prabal Gurung gown.
And while she was at that AmfAR event, SJP was asked what she thought about the recently published work out photos of Republican VP candidate Paul Ryan. “How much does that add to the intellectual capacity? Just curious,” is how the Obama- supporting actress responded.
Since we’re on the topic of celebs who have less than nice things to say about GOP hopefuls, we’ll mention that “Saturday Night Lights” creator Peter Berg wrote a letter to Mitt Romney accusing him of ripping off the show’s “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” phrase. Berg told the governor to stop using it and to come up with his own slogan.
And in our final item for today about Democratic celebs annoyed with Republicans, no one seems to be sure why Ann Romney chose to wear a wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg. We guess Romney didn’t get the memo that the designer is a big Obama fan.
Pals and would-be hip-hop artists “Emcee Gwyneth Paltrow” and “Deejay Jazzy Cameron Diaz” show a side of themselves we haven’t seen before in a video they made to congratulate Chelsea Handler on moving her show into a new studio. Handler reportedly sold a bunch of stuff from her old studio and gave the proceeds to an LGBT advocacy group.
