Obama Controls Stars, Puts Together Constellation of Bucks
What do Cindy Crawford, Seal, and Dennis Quaid have in common? Nope, it's not a movie remake version of Three's Company (I wish). They were just three of the celebs who came out to a pricey, glitzy Obama fundraiser last night in LA.

Is Sarah Palin a Better Rallying Tool For the Dems or GOP?
The Republicans have called in their star Sarah Palin to headline a major fund-raising event in June. Fabulous! — think Democratic fundraisers.
Barack Obama Raises $150 Million in September Alone
Today Barack Obama and John McCain must file their September fundraising numbers with the Federal Election Commission; but yesterday, Obama's campaign manager shared some good news with supporters: Barack raised a record of $150 million in September alone.
Perhaps more impressive, the campaign added 632,000 new donors to the cause. The average donation was $86.
Biggest Headlines of 2008: Barack Obama Shatters Fundraising Records
During his successful bid for the White House, President-elect Barack Obama raised $750 million to help him get there. In 2004, Kerry and Bush brought in a combined $504.2 million during the primaries, and took $74.6 each in public money.

Obama Campaign Takes Money Now, Asks Questions Later
Is Obama's campaign piggy bank a murky shade of sneakiness? By allowing donors to use prepaid credit cards, which are for the most part untraceable, the Obama campaign could be allowing donors to dodge limits or hide a donor's identity. That combined with a huge chunk of donations being given online, basic security measures to stop illegal or anonymous money from hitting the campaign account are nonexistent.
Were You Ever in a Sorority?
Sorority Row, starring Audrina Patridge and Rumer Willis, opened yesterday and the premise is as silly as you can imagine it would be: a sorority house prank gone wrong unleashes a serial killer who begins to stalk the the sorority sisters.
I hear more about sorority hazing rituals in the news than I do about serial killers on the loose in sorority houses. Other impressions are probably stereotypes: lots of female bonding, lots of backstabbing, wild parties and the occasional charity fundraiser.
