"Yesterday was the first day of spring (sorry, Chicago, I know it was like 25 degrees there), and apparently that was reason enough for Hollywood to have a party within every square foot of the city. Between the Mad Men premiere, the Norma Jean Gala, the BlackBerry Z10 Smartphone Party (I snagged an interview with Josh Duhamel!), The Voice season-four premiere, and more, there were more soirees than Oscar night! But the evening&amp;#x27;s most important was the Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s Association&amp;#x27;s &amp;quot;A Night at Sardi&amp;#x27;s&amp;quot; fund-raiser and awards dinner. Funds raised during the evening support the mission of the Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s Association to eliminate Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s disease through the advancement of research. There is no cause more important to Lauren Miller (wife of Seth Rogen), whose mom is battling the disease at only 61 years of age. &amp;quot;My mom has Alzheimer&amp;amp;#8217;s; my grandparents had it,&amp;quot; Lauren told me. &amp;quot;It&amp;amp;#8217;s brutal and such a devastating disease, so it&amp;amp;#8217;s nice when you can have a night that&amp;#x27;s fun and light and raise awareness for a great cause. My mom was diagnosed when she was 55, so it&amp;#x27;s pretty advanced, but it is what it is. But we&amp;amp;#8217;re lucky we can get good care for her, because not many people can.&amp;quot; Tons of celebs donated their time and skills (the cast of The Big Bang Theory performed some of Broadway&amp;#x27;s biggest hits!) in what is Los Angeles&amp;#x27; largest fund-raiser for Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s disease. I also had a blast running into Jason Alexander, who was actually my director back when I was on Campus Ladies in 2006. I hadn&amp;#x27;t seen him since then, but we decided to take a picture and compare it with then and now! Needless to say, Jason looks like he&amp;#x27;s aged backward. As he said to me last night, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m performing a rewritten version of &amp;quot;Goodnight Baltimore&amp;quot; from Hairspray. That&amp;amp;#8217;s why I wore hair! [laughs]&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Emmy Rossum showed off one of her most impressive talents before she even took the stage--making her own nail polish! That&amp;#x27;s right! &amp;quot;I mixed three colors! I googled it, and if you mix pink and blue and white, you get this. And then I painted it on with a makeup brush.&amp;quot; OMG, how awesome, right? Jason Bateman was also in attendance to open the show, and then Ron Howard presented producer Brian Grazer with the Abe Burrows Entertainment Award. [Grazer and Howard produce Bateman&amp;#x27;s Arrested Development]. Bateman, who starred in The Hogan Family (first called Valerie) as the son of of actress Valerie Harper, released a beautiful statement to the media a few weeks ago when Harper announced her brain cancer diagnosis. I asked Bateman if he had talked to his TV mom since (he hasn&amp;#x27;t), but he did say Valerie &amp;quot;always had the best attitude [when we worked together]. Please give her my best.&amp;amp;#8221; Valerie, the world echoes that a million times over. We love you! Speaking of actresses I adore, I was so happy to see my cupcake-and-baseball-loving-friend Beth Behrs, of 2 Broke Girls, looking sensational in Oscar de la Renta. This was her first time attending the Alzheimer&amp;#x27;s Association&amp;#x27;s Gala, and for the self-proclaimed Broadway nerd, &amp;quot;it&amp;#x27;s everybody&amp;#x27;s dream to have their picture in Sardi&amp;#x27;s! It&amp;#x27;s the best!&amp;quot; (Don&amp;#x27;t I know it! Have you seen the famous caricatures on the wall? If not, click here). It was a great evening all around.
