There’s nothing like a great gay Hollywood party—and it’s even better if the whole shindig goes to benefit a worthy cause. So we were thrilled that the Trevor Project (which runs the only nationwide 24-hour suicide prevention hotline for LGBT youths) had a packed house Sunday in Los Angeles for its annual Cracked Xmas benefit, which was hosted by Carson Kressley. Stars including Kristin Davis, Carmen Electra, Judith Light, Brittany Snow, John Goodman, Shawn Pyfrom, Nick Verreos, and Patricia and Alexis Arquette walked the red carpet, and T.R. Knight and Neil Patrick Harris made their first appearances at a major gay event since both disclosed they are gay. Lucy Lawless and Taylor Dayne got the house grooving, and Sandra Bernhard and Sarah Silverman had the place in hysterics—especially Silverman, when she joked about watching Brokeback Mountain with her man, Jimmy Kimmel. “My boyfriend had to cover his eyes during the sex scenes,” she told the crowd. “It’s not that he’s homophobic. It’s the only way he can come.” It was the perfect way to balance out the seriousness of the work the Trevor Project does, although we remained melancholy as the show marked the final event for executive director (and one of this year’s Out 100 honorees) Jorge Valencia, who is stepping down after nearly six years to run the Point Foundation. Roseanne Barr, recipient of the night’s Trevor Life Award, had this to say to all the struggling gay youths: “Stop feeling sorry for yourselves. Because I’m old…and I’m fat.” (Yes, she was making a joke.) But she went on to make this prediction: “Fat girls and gays is the definitive relationship of the new century.”
