Oscar Says, 'Let Them Eat Kobe Beef!'
Since everyone's favorite starlets aren't likely to cure their career-enhancing eating disorders even for the decadent meals served during Hollywood's Biggest Night, there are bound to be scores of untouched plates at the Governor's Ball.
So what happens to all those untouched short ribs, lobsters, truffles and tortes?
Governors Ball leftovers are donated to homeless shelters and other charitable causes around town. But the lawyers got in the way of any such benevolence at the Elton John party, fearing the caterer would be liable for anyone who got sick on the scraps.
Even the homeless are winners on Oscar Night! You know, unless their digestive systems reject Wolfgang Puck's five-star surf n' turf and they wind up violently vomiting on Jamie Foxx's limo.
Special bonus section: At the risk of having to rescind this award in the next week, we declare this the Gayest Thing Said in Relation to This Year's Awards, courtesy of the guy planning Elton John's charity Oscar-watching event: "I would love to have giant floral balls the size of Volkswagens drop out of the ceiling."
