It was “Hot in Hollywood” as the Stars Let Loose for a Good Cause
The 2nd Annual Hot in Hollywood event got underway with a bang. Featuring many famous primetime television faces, this star studded event benefited the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) Mobile Units, a non profit Los Angeles based AIDS treatment and advocacy organization, and the Salvation Army’s ALEGRIA House, an HIV/AIDS housing facility.
Hosted by Jaime Pressly (My Name is Earl) the event showcased many of the celebrities’ considerably interesting singing talents. A big highlight of the evening included America Ferrara (Ugly Betty), who after receiving the wining bid on a Toyota Prius, joined Jerry O’Connell (Crossing Jordan) and Eddie Kaye Thomas (American Pie) who came on stage dressed in drag. Their sexily hilarious routine was hard to beat, but that didn’t stop Michael Urie (Ugly Betty) and Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) from belting out the sentimental Neil Diamond and Barbara Streisand tune "You Don’t Bring Me Flowers" dressed in full on tribute garb. Linda Cardellini (ER) and Parminder Nagra (ER) followed this up by passing out condoms to Bon Jovi’s "Bad Medicine" and Olivia Newton John’s "Let’s Get Physical." Then of course there was Sara Ramirez (Grey’s Anatomy) who brought the house down with a more serious turn singing a soulful and powerful ballad.
The evening’s host also got in on the act when Pressly unexpectedly serenaded Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) with "Fever." To top the evening off, the cast of Heroes got on stage for a rousing rendition of "Let the Sun Shine In", and were joined by the 30 person Agape choir for the evening’s grand finale.
The man behind the jam-packed event was Michael Medico who couldn’t have been more pleased with the turn out. Extolling on the generosity of the Hollywood players who made the evening such a success, Medico exclaimed, "I am so deeply touched by the many people that generously participated from the performers to the people backstage. Hot in Hollywood is a dream come true to me and I am thrilled that we could make this event so amazing and in the process raise money and awareness for our two charities, AHF and ALEGRIA."
Held at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theatre in Hollywood, the star-studded gala allowed the celebrities to kick back and show off another side of themselves. But not only was the evening a great time, it also raised a lot of money for two very worthwhile charities.
