An impressive list of stars will be turning into party animals at the newly restored Hollywood Palladium on Thursday, November 13th, for the 15th annual Lint Roller Party.

Lisa Edelstein along with Eric and Tania Idle are Honorary Co-Chairs for the night, which supports the Best Friends Animal Society. The party’s honorary committee includes animal lovers such as Adrian Grenier, Charlize Theron, Nicollette Sheridan, Bill Maher, Dan Aykroyd and Willie Nelson, to name but a few.

The event raises funds for the Society’s programs in LA, which improve and save the lives of animals, including: A Puppy-Store-Free LA, Pet Adoption Festivals, Date with a Dog, Indie Rescue, Catnippers, Best Friends Brigade, Pup My Ride Transport Program.

A Founders’ Reception starts the event off at 6, with the party beginning in earnest at 7 P.M. Guests will enjoy an evening of celebrity presenters, live entertainment, live and silent auctions, special guests, an open bar and great veggie food, as well as meet some of the Founders of Best Friends and the stars of National Geographic Channel’s hit series DOGTOWN.

Emmylou Harris will be the feature entertainer for the evening, with the gourmet dinner cooked up by Wolfgang Puck Catering. Those taking part in the auction could win getaways, walk-on-parts, premiere tickets, jewelry, sports and hollywood memorabilia and fine art, among other items. An online auction is currently being held on eBay, which includes autographed items, such as one of Muhammad Ali’s boxing gloves, Simspons and Star Wars memorabilia, and one lucky person will win a walk on part in a Clint Eastwood film.

Joe Cocker helped raise $1.4 million for charity last weekend, when he performed at the the Houston Children’s Charity’s 12th annual black-tie gala on Saturday.

Held at the Hyatt Regency Ballroom, the gala honored two of Houston’s most outstanding citizens – Shelby Hodge, Houston Chronicle Society Columnist, and her husband, professor Shafik Rifaat – for their unwavering commitment to Houston Children’s Charity during each of its 12 years of existence.

The Houston Children’s Charity is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Greater Houston’s underprivileged, abused, and disabled children.

Earlier this year, Cocker played a huge charity concert in Hotchkiss, Colorado, where he has lived since 1992. All proceeds from the concert were donated to the Cocker Kids Foundation, a charity started by the British soul singer in 1998 to help children in Delta County achieve their dreams. Since its inception, the Cocker Kids Foundation has donated over $500,000 to help create youth sections of local libraries, build playgrounds, support athletic teams, fund the Delta County Health and Human Services and help many local kids reach a goal they might not have been able to afford.
