Zachary Quinto, Christine Elise, Charlotte Ross, Rudy Youngblood, and extra superstars holded up In Defense of Animals at an event held at a producer’s mansion off Mullholland Drive. The posh Mediterranean estate was set up safari style with all proceeds benefiting chimpanzee and gorilla conservation in Cameroon. The silent auction featured paintings from Picasso, Miro and Degas, while Gwen Stefani donated loads of items from L.A.M.B and a signed electric guitar. Prince Diabete, a world renowned Kora Player, brought his African band to play as guests mingled under the clear summer evening.
I can’t seem to get enough of Zachary these days. When I talked to hi m about attending the party he got sweetly and sincerely serious. "It's our closest genetic relative and they are being massacred, mistreated, exploited, and abused so it really drives someone to some level of action." IDA was offering “Adopt a Chimp” programs and when I asked Zach if he had adopted a chimp yet, he said he was in negotiations to own his own chimp.
