Hearsay, for obvious reasons, loves Sarah Jessica Parker for personifying the role of Carrie "I Began to Wonder" Bradshaw in Sex and the City. Why, someday Hearsay hopes Harvey "You Want Me to Print That?" Fierstein will portray Hearsay, the very imaginative — and maybe even imaginary — columnist in a hit LOGO comedy series. But Fierstein will never be Hearsay just as Parker is more than just Bradshaw. After all, Parker has been nested for years with her own Mr. Big, Matthew "Anyone, Anyone" Broderick. She even has her own children, something Bradshaw — and Hearsay! — never would. And while Bradshaw never expressed political opinions beyond the prohibitive prices of the three Ms: Manhattan real estate, Manolo Blahniks and men, Parker — and Hearsay! — is a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat. So much so, she's even leaving The City to raise money for presidential candidate Barack "The Obvious Choice" Obama in what so many hope will be his new hometown.
Tonight, Friday, Sept. 26, Parker is the guest of honor for the Gay and Leadership Council of the Democratic National Committee's Obama fundraiser at the brand spanking new Vida Fitness at The Brand Spanking New Metropole at the Brand Spanking New 15th and P Street NW. You have to give $100 minimum to get in, and only a limited number of folks will be allowed in at that price. Better plan to forego a pair of new heels — but oh no! Miss Adams Morgan is only two weeks away! — and give at least $250. The party is from 6 to 8 p.m., after which you should be scurrying about to get ready to watch the first presidential debate — or Obama monologue, or whatever it will be if that wussy John "I Have More Important Things to Do Than Run for President" McCain backs out.
