BMG Columbiahouse was a gold sponsor for this City of Hope benefit and I was lucky enough to be invited. It was a roast of Alan Grubman (old school music lawyer,) so there were a lot of industry people either ivolved or in the crowd including Clive Davis, Russell Simmons, John Mellencamp, and Bryant Gumbel. However, the most exciting celebrity I saw was the guest of honor's daughter... Lizzie Grubman (remember her?) She looked like a train wreck.
