Los Angeles, April 13, 2007 –This year’s Race to Erase MS gala had a “Dancing With the Stars” theme, and the bash at the Hyatt Regency was packed with current and former contestants from the popular reality show. Stacy Keibler, Drew Lachey, Lisa Rinna, Joey Lawrence and Joey Fatone plus dance partners Cheryl Burke and Kym Johnson, and host Samantha Harris all made the scene. Heather Mills was conspicuously absent, although she showed up the following evening at the TV Land awards.

Tommy Hilfiger put on a fashion show, with celebrity models including Nick Lachey, Michelle Rodriguez and Desperate Housewives’ Andrea Bowen strutting the catwalk; Nicole Richie and Nicky Hilton opened the show. Tom Arnold served as auctioneer for the live auction.

Lara Flynn Boyle trotted out her new husband, Donald Ray Thomas, and Matthew Lawrence, Joey Lawrence’s brother, was very cozy with DWTS’ Cheryl Burke. Bride of Chucky Jennifer Tilly had a handsome (human) date on her arm. The Bound star is one of our favorites – your editor’s (very sweet-natured) pet cat is even named Chucky. Virginia Madsen, Tara Reid, Molly Sims and Tracee Ellis Ross also came out to support the cause.
