Romney Eyes Hollywood Return After Successful Weekend Fundraiser
Turns out Mitt Romney is a big fan of Hollywood. After pulling in $6 million in a fundraiser Saturday at the Beverly Hilton, the GOP candidate could be back in town soon. “This weekend’s event was very successful and there are plans to try to get the Governor back in Los Angeles again after the first or second debate for a similar occasion,” a source close to the Romney campaign told Deadline.
The first Presidential debate is October 3, with a second October 16 and a final face-to-face October 22. On Saturday night, 1,500 donors showed up for the Romney fundraiser.
Among the attendees were producerJerry Bruckheimer and wife Linda; former Warner Bros chair Terry Semel; Children Of A Lesser God producer Burt Sugarman; Gladiator producer Frank Price and wife Katherine; DC 9/11: A Time Of Crisis writer-producer Lionel Chetwynd; actor John O’Hurley, CSI: NY’s Gary Sinise; and Everyone Loves Raymond’s Patricia Heaton, Deadline confirmed. Tickets went for $1,000, $15,000, and $50,000.
The event pulled in about $2 million more than what President Obama raised at his most recent celebrity-hosted event last week in NYC with Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Reminds me that Lot and his wife lived in Sodom and Gomorrah before the whole thing suffered the wrath of God.
I hope these good souls are out of town when an Act of God slides all of Hollywood into the Ocean.

Say thank you to Clint for emboldening Hollywood conservatives to “come out” for this campaign.

Funny how the guest list of a Republican fundraiser is displayed for all to see but the people attending the JayZ and Beyonce orgy was top secret.

GOOD! I wish Romney would raise enough money to stop acting like Obunghead! Between the “Grab a Bite with Ryan” $3 ASSHATTERY, and the dumb shit trying to sell campaign yard signs… I’m starting to think Alan Keyes may be right about Mitt trying to throw the election! The Durham and Orange Co GOP’s headquaters just got the signs in for us to distribute to supporters YESTERDAY!!! Those signs should have been posted in half the yards in the country a month ago!
It’s gonna be one of those days… I can just feel it building!

Agree with Stirrin.
I applaud the closet conservatives (didn’t know Brittney Spears was one) for coming out and embracing capitolisim, which is the only reason for their wealth and success.
Why don’t the other libs in Hollywood understand this?
