Wainwright Huge Draw For H'wood Heavyweights, Homos

rufus.jpegThe combination of Rufus Wainwright and some classic Judy Garland songs proved to be an attraction that some of Hollywood's elite couldn't resist.

Thus, Wainwright's Sunday night show at the Hollywood Bowl was a veritable who's who of Tinseltown's gay bold-faced names along with some female celebs thrown in for good measure.

FBLA was in the mix in a big way with VIP seats just a stone's throw from the stage (thanks, Michael), surrounded by all the town's A-listers.

Seated directly in front of us - surrounded by a trio of pretty boys - was David Geffen, who often was the first to rise to two feet with an energetic applause.

And he wasn't the only one. Also spotted in FBLA's immediate vicinity were heavyweight industryites Barry Diller, Bill Condon, Donald DeLine, Laurence Mark, Drew Barrymore, Reese Witherspoon, Hilary Swank (with John Campisi), WMA agent Rena Ronson, Bruce Vilanch, Ryan Murphy, Bruce Cohen, Dan Bucatinsky and others like Dita Von Teese, Ann Magnuson and Robert Gant

And though they may be power players, that didn't stop some of the notable concert-goers - treated to Wainwright's renditions of Garland's beloved tunes, at times accompanied by his mother, sister and Garland's daughter Lorna Luft - from letting loose and sneaking in some party favors.

Yeah, it's true: FBLA saw what David Geffen was passing around - and it wasn't a bottle of Pinot. We won't out everyone we saw indulging in illegal yet typical concert behavior but you know who you are!
