Hot In Hollywood Fundraiser Shines with Stars Singing to Fight HIV/AIDS

Hot in Hollywood Fundraiser Shines with Stars Singing to Fight HIV/AIDS

The second annual Hot in Hollywood Fundraising Event packed a huge crowd at the Henry Fonda Music Box Theater in Hollywood on Saturday, August 18.  The hottest television actors from the shows “Ugly Betty,” “Heroes,” “Crossing Jordan,” “ER,” “House,” “The Office,” and more were on hand to entertain, sing, and perform comedy skits for the occasion.

America Ferrerra, Jerry O’Connell, Jennifer Morrison, and Sara Ramirez were among the celebrities who performed for the evening’s two charities, AIDS’ Healthcare Foundation and Salvation Army’s ALEGRIA House.

Notable highlights from the night included:  America Ferrara, obtaining the winning bid for a Toyota Prius at $37,000 and singing with Jerry O’Connell and Eddie Kaye Thomas in drag. America, Jerry, and Eddie were all hysterical in their tacky dresses and heels as the three of them bumped and grinded to “You Gotta Get a Gimmick,” the stripper’s number from the musical, Gypsy.

“Ugly Betty”‘s Michael Urie and Becki Newton continued the comedy and fun, impersonating Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand, singing “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.”  “ER”‘s Linda Cardellini and Parminder Nagra passed out condoms while rocking the house with “Bad Medicine” and “Let’s Get Physical”; and “Grey’s Anatomy” star, Sara Ramirez, blew everyone’s mind with a powerful and soulful ballad.

Host and Emmy nominee, Jamie Pressly sang an impromptu and sexy version of “Fever” with the help of Milo Ventimiglia.  The event finale was unforgettable as the talented cast members of “Heroes” sang “Let the Sun Shine In” with the entire cast joining them on stage in addition to a 30-person Agape choir.

Of course, the best part of the evening was the fact that everyone’s efforts and talents combined to raise much-needed funds. Hot in Hollywood is comprised of some of the biggest agents, managers, casting agents and Hollywood insiders, all of whom donated their time to help make the event an overwhelming success.  The brainchild of the event, creator Michael Medico, said, “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.”
