Gala

Culver City, Nov. 9

$4.7M Baby Bump

Katy Perry (2), Gwyneth

Paltrow (1), Kate

Hudson (2) and Jennifer

Garner were among

the stars at the annual

Baby2Baby gala, which

celebrated Chrissy

Te i g e n (2) with the Giving

Tr e e Aw a r d. B a b y 2 B a b y,

led by co-presidents Kelly

Sawyer Patricof (2) and

Norah Weinstein (2), is

an L.A.-based foundation

that provides everything

from school supplies to

diapers to families living

below the poverty line.

The dinner at the food-

focused event was curated

by restaurateurs Jon

Shook and Vinny Dotolo,

while Nicole Richie and

Ali Wong led a live auction

that saw major donations

fly in from A-list guests,

including Lionsgate’s Jon

Feltheimer and Netflix’s

Scott Stuber. In total,

the gala raised more than

$4.7 million to support

the organization. “They’re

providing every child

in Los Angeles with a

backpack, and that sounds

like not a big thing, but

what you don’t under-

stand is the effect of not

having a backpack for a

child — that they don’t go

to school because their

stuff is in a garbage bag

and they’re too ashamed,”

Rachel Zoe told THR.

Following the dinner and

awards, Paula Abdul got

the starry crowd on their

feet with a medley of

her hits. — ALEX CRAMER

Frozen Frenzy

Disney’s Oscar-winning

2013 hit Frozen is back

with new songs and deeper

themes, including “a grief

storyline that I don’t know

any Disney movie has

explored,” actor Jonathan

Groff (8) told THR. At

the film’s winter-themed

Dolby Theatre premiere,

original castmembers

Kristen Bell (6), Idina

Menzel (6), Josh Gad (8)

and Groff mingled with

new additions Sterling K.

Brown (7), Evan Rachel

Wood (8) and Jason

Ritter (9). While Anna and

Elsa tackle new adventures

in the sequel, the message

remains the same, Brown

told THR, with “the truth

of women being able to

save themselves and not

needing any male char-

acter to come through for

them.” — KIRSTEN CHUBA
