Victoria Beckham may have given up
a profession in singing, but she ain’t done performing. Looking like a
Disney villain in her sleek back gown last night, complete with a train
that pooled around her feet like black magic, the British transplant
was a vision at Elton John’s 17th Annual Elton John Aids Foundation
Party.

The Academy Awards after-party, held in West Hollywood,
was a smashing success, raising $4 million and successfully auctioning
off items like Chopard jewel-encrusted watches, a tennis lesson with Olympian Andy Roddick, and a dance session with Ellen DeGeneres.  Funny, I’d have expected it to be a duet in her bathroom.

The event’s star-studded guest list included Vicki’s slimmed-down pal Eva Longoria, exes Carrie Underwood and Chace Crawford (oooh, if those walls could talk), American Idol judges Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson, classy new residents Peter Andre and Katie Price (with her own black gown train), a luminous Dita Von Teese, and the ever-modest Sharon Stone, whose nipples were happy to say hello…all night long.  She must have injected some Botox into those things.
