Everyone's Feeling Obama Mania
While the BET Awards were jumping off down the street at the Shrine, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama was busy raising nearly $5 mil at a celebrity-packed fundraiser at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
"He's my candidate, and I think you have to put your money where your mouth is," said actor Don Cheadle.
Top tickets cost more than $30,000, and celebs in attendence included actor Jennifer Beals and boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard.
Also seen was Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, who created two music videos for Obama during the primary season — including "Yes We Can". Singer Seal performed two songs. "At last, someone has come along that is restoring my faith," Seal said.
