Michael Childers’ Hollywood Dine & Dish served up cocktails, fine dining, and unscripted anecdotes at the private Andreas Hills residence of Michael Corbett and James Pelk on Oct. 30. The star-studded event benefitted AAP Food Samaritans, a nonprofit serving low-income Coachella Valley residents who need food assistance and struggle with chronic illnesses like HIV/AIDS.
Hors d’oeuvres and dinner catered by Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge paired well with their premium cocktails and fine wines.
Celebrity guests included actor, comedian, and drag star Coco Peru; TV-star and comedian Wendy Liebman; and six-time Emmy winner and local celebrity Bruce Vilanch.
Presented by producer and celebrity photographer Michael Childers and sponsored by Scott Histed Architectural Properties and Tom Gleeson of State Farm, the evening was outrageous, saucy, ribald, and hysterical.
