Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian were among the A-List stars who attended the biggest
Oscar Party in Hollywood. Yeah, we can only be talking about Sir Elton John's amazing
Oscar bash!
Elton and his partner David Furnish played hosts at their long-running Oscar viewing
party benefiting AIDS research. Now in its 22nd year, the duo said that the annual event
shows no signs of stopping.
There's so many children who are sick with *** and AIDS, and if you have two sons, like
we do, For example in Lesotho there's about 30,000 infants who have *** and who haven't
got access to the treatment. One of our big priorities this year is to make sure they
do get access, every single one of those children. So, there are a lot of people living with
*** and AIDS, we do things for other people as well. I do breast cancer, I do a lot of
other things. This has been my main priority, it has been for 23 years now. We can see a
light at the end of the tunnel, we can see the disease being very treatable and all we
have to do is get rid of the stigma and make people feel proud that they have the disease,
or not ashamed to have the disease, so that we can actually once and for all, end in a
few years, the necessity of doing events like this.
Brit Ed Sheeran was also there, and who knew him and Elton were like totally BFFs?
Elton's parties, which this year attracted the likes of Robert De Niro, Kelly Osbourne
and Sheryl Crow, have raised more than 30 million dollars for AIDS research.
