SINGER JOHN: BELLE OF OSCAR PARTIES
LOS ANGELES (AP) — With Vanity Fair sitting out this year’s celebrations, the belle of the Oscars parties was a piano playing Elton John.
The 60-year-old singer’s 16th annual viewing dinner and after-party benefiting the Elton John AIDS Foundation topped other bashes Sunday, with 750 guests and a bevy of A-list stars who sipped cocktails and feasted on a four-course meal under the Pacific Design Center’s red-draped tent.
