19th annual EJAF Academy Awards Viewing Party raises nearly $4 million to fight against HIV/AIDS
http://www.news-medical.net/news/20110228/19th-annual-EJAF-Academy-Awards-Viewing-Party-raises-nearly-244-million-to-fight-against-HIVAIDS.aspxThe 19th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party hosted by Sir Elton John and David Furnish raised nearly $4 million for the fight against HIV/AIDS. The gala, which took place on Sunday, February 27, at the Pacific Design Center in Los Angeles, was co-sponsored by Chopard and Jo & Raffy Manoukian. Attendees included Sir Ben Kingsley, Heidi Klum & Seal, Jamie Foxx, Steven Tyler, Zac Levi, Sharon Stone, Matthew Morrison, Paul Rudd, Paz Vega, Claire Danes & Hugh Dancy, Ashley Tisdale, Baz Luhrmann, Emma Stone, Smokey Robinson, Quincy Jones, Chace Crawford, Hayden Panettierre, Kelly & Sharon Osbourne, Dave Annable, Cee Lo Green, Chris Colfer, Eric Stonestreet, Jane Lynch, Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie & Joel Madden, John Waters, Miranda Cosgrove, Serena Williams, Joel McHale, Rashida Jones, Vanessa Hudgens, Taye Diggs, Rufus Wainwright, Natasha Henstridge and Tori Spelling, among many others.
Guests arrived at the Academy Awards Viewing Party for cocktails followed by a gala dinner and viewing of the 83rd Academy Awards® telecast. This year Chef Ludo Lefebvre, owner of the wildly popular touring restaurant LudoBites, supported by Los Angeles-based Crumble Catering, prepared an innovative menu with his classic French styling. The menu included seared beef tenderloin with charcoal oil, a crispy bacon and goat cheese soup, and an apple tart garnished with orange creme fraiche and caramel syrup.
The dinner was followed by a lively auction conducted by Jamie Nivens of Sotheby's. Auction items included a five-night stay in Sir Elton John and David Furnish's private Venice residence, which sold for $150,000; and a Taylor Swift concert package including tickets and a meet-and-greet with the Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, which sold for $50,0000; in-home cooking class with Chef Ludo Lefebvre, which sold for $20,000. Following the auction, Florence + The Machine took the stage to perform several songs including her hit "The Dog Days are Over". Elton John joined Florence Welch onstage to perform "Tiny Dancer" and "You Got the Love".
2011 marks the 30th year since HIV/AIDS was first observed by physicians in American patients, and while tremendous strides have been made in our understanding of this terrible disease, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. In 1993 Sir Elton John pledged to the Hollywood community that he would hold this event every year until a cure for HIV/AIDS had been found. Nearly 20 years later, the Hollywood community is still standing with Sir Elton John, showing their support for the Foundation and this worthy cause.

The iconic singer holds the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party annually, to raise money for his Elton John AIDS Foundation. This year it took place at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, and Elton and his partner David Furnish were both upset about leaving their new son Zachary at home.
“I wish we could but we can't, he might be coming down to visit us and say goodnight," Elton laughed.
The event is one of the glitziest in the showbiz calendar, and this year was no exception. Elton sang with Florence Welch from band Florence and the Machine, who looked stunning in a long blush dress which was overlaid with black netting.
“She's amazing, a great girl, so full of life. I love her, she's such a great singer and I'm mesmerised by her,” Elton said of Florence.
Other guests included Kelly Osborne and her mother Sharon, Matthew Morrison and his Glee co-stars Dianna Agron and Chris Colfer, as well as Claire Danes and Baz Luhrmann.
Hayden Panettiere and Chace Crawford also attended the bash, which featured a mirrored floor and yellow love seats.
Kim Kardashian looked stunning in a figure-hugging black dress, while Nicole Richie opted for a white, long-sleeved gown with a cutaway on her stomach.
British glamour model Katie Price – also known as Jordan – put in an appearance, but shunned the usual formal gown. Instead, she chose a short, black dress with a puffy skirt and plunging neckline.
Elton discussed his reasons for raising awareness of AIDS, explaining he thinks it’s particularly vital in America. The 63-year-old worries education about the topic is overlooked in the US, and wants to change that.
“We still find the stigma of AIDS exists, the shame, the marginalisation of people that have AIDS," he said. "It's really disturbing. It's very hard to teach sex education to young people in this country because it's a very conservative country."

Sir Elton John wished he could sneak away from his star-studded Oscars party yesterday, to go and tuck his two-month-old son into bed.
“I wish we could but we can't, he might be coming down to visit us and say goodnight," Elton laughed.

The British glamor model showed up to Elton John's popular Oscar-viewing party/ AIDS fund-raiser Sunday night in Hollywood.Katie posed for pictures with Elton as he kissed her on the cheek. It was a subdued evening for Katie compared to some of the outlandish outfits we've come to expect from one of Britain's most colorful exports. She kept things conservative (for her) with a cleavage-bearing black dress with tulle accents. The 83rd Academy Awards were Sunday evening starting at 5:30 PM local time at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Find more pictures of Katie Price below. Elton John to Host April 2 Episode of NBC's Saturday Night Livehttp://www.theatermania.com/new-york/news/02-2011/elton-john-to-host-april-2-episode-of-nbcs-saturda_34640.html
Tony Award winner Sir Elton John will host NBC's Saturday Night Live on April 2, according to published reports. He will also appear as the show's musical guest along with Leon Russell, his collaborator on the CD, The Union. In addition, it has been reported that singer Miley Cyrus will host the March 5 show with musical guest, The Strokes, and Zach Galifianakis will host the March 12 episode of the long-running series with musical guest Jessie J. John is currently represented on Broadway by the scores to Billy Elliot and The Lion King. He also wrote the scores to Aida, for which he won the Tony, and Lestat. He is also represented on the big screen by the animated feature Gnomeo & Juliet, which he executive produced and which features many of his greatest hits. David Furnish and Sir Elton John hosted the post-Oscars party http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/news/sir-elton-john-hosts-oscars-party-15098666.html?r=RSS  New dads Sir Elton John and David Furnish had no chance to slip off early from their glitzy Oscar-viewing party to be with their son Zachary. "I wish we could but we can't, he might be coming down to visit us and say goodnight," Elton said at his celeb-packed fundraiser. Kelly and Sharon Osbourne, Katie Price, Glee's Matthew Morrison and Chris Colfer, director Baz Luhrmann and actress Clare Danes featured on the swanky guest list. Speaking before the evening got into full swing, Elton revealed how pleased he was to be performing with Florence Welch from Florence And The Machine. "She's amazing, a great girl, so full of life. I love her, she's such a great singer and I'm mesmerised by her," he said. Money from ticket sales and a special auction helped raise money for the Elton John Aids Foundation. Elton told American reporters about how he was shocked by the lack of HIV awareness in the States. "We still find the stigma of Aids exists, the shame, the marginalisation of people that have Aids," he said. "It's really disturbing. It's very hard to teach sex education to young people in this country because it's a very conservative country." Elton explained: "We do it in Africa to the young ones so they learn about sex and condoms and infection rates go down. Here you can't get to them and the infection rates go up, you're banging your head against a wall. Until something radically changes and you can actually get to young people in America and educate them on a sexual level then nothing is going to change and that's horrific."

It turns out, on April 2 Sir Elton John will be hosting Saturday Night Live AND serving as the show's musical guest. I never thought I'd see the day when Elton John would share a very specific category with Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. That's quite a sundry bunch, ain't it?It seems that John won't be whipping out that Saturday Night anthem (aww, shucks) because he'll be taking the stage with his most recent partner in music, Leon Russell to promote their joint project, The Union. This will be John's second stint on the sketch show's stage since 1982. I'm not really sure what to expect from this hosting selection because it could be awful, but it's also got potential to be kind of amazing. Remember back when John McCain hosted and he turned out to be hilarious? Yeah, it's kind of lack that. Only McCain doesn't have a background of performing insane musical numbers with Muppets and enough rhinestones and glitter to make Lady Gaga's balloon of a head spin. I'd say this one's worth marking down in your calendar just to see what's in store. http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0,,20449766_20469511,00.html#20917764 Tori Spelling Hoping for a Playdate with Elton John's Son Elton John's newborn son Zachary could soon have two new friends – Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling's kids, Liam and Stella. "Is it wrong 2 hope 4 a playdate?" Spelling, 37, tweeted Sunday night after meeting John, 63, and his partner, David Furnish, at the British music legend's Oscars after-party, held annually to raise money for his AIDS foundation. McDermott, 44, tweeted out a photo of himself and Spelling with John and Furnish and called it a "once in a lifetime moment." He added: "OMG. Just met Sir Elton John. Such a nice guy. He leaned on my shoulder to talk to T. That's one for the history books." Zachary, who was born on Christmas Day, may have a hard time keeping up with his playmates. After all, Liam turns 4 on March 13, while Stella will be 3 in June. Proceeds from ticket sales to the after-party and a special auction help raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
