For $38,500 you could play, too.

For 5K Melanie Griffith's house may have been the better deal.



I think it's Lassiter, not Lasseter.


2 different empires.

billb is correct, Obama's fundraiser was hosted by James Lassiter the producer and business partner of Will Smith, not James Lasseter the creative director at Disney. (both pretty interesting men though...)

LOS ANGELES — Actor Will Smith and basketball standout Earvin "Magic" Johnson for dinner and Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas for post-meal mingling. President Barack Obama waded into the domain of the stars Monday as he hit the California fundraising circuit in one of his busiest donor outreach trips of the season.

Smith, in an elegant three-piece suit, and Johnson, the standout former point guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, were guests at the home of producer James Lassiter and his wife, Mai. About 40 contributors, including actress Hillary Duff, contributed $35,800 each for a cozy dinner and a chance to chat with the president. Obama, eager to reinvigorate his supporters, ticked off his administration's accomplishments.
