He went to the fundraiser to learn more about the candidate and would like to do the same with Obama if the opportunity presents itself." Hear that, Barack? A crucial 40% of the titular Two and a Half Men is still undecided and up for grabs! Still: no word, yet, from the similarly sighted Lorenzo Lamas or Craig T. Nelson. We'll keep you posted as the official confirmation of their endorsements comes in. [Previously: Superdelegate Shocker: Jon Cryer Sighted at McCain Fundraiser!]

<![CDATA[Superdelegate Shocker: Jon Cryer Sighted at McCain Fundraiser!]]> As the man who brought us Pretty in Pink's Duckie, you might expect Jon Cryer to have a special affinity for those born on the wrong side of the tracks: the poor, the outcast, even the sexually ambiguous. However, it's apparently his role in Hot Shots! that Cryer identifies with most, because he turned up this week at a fundraiser for another easily downed Naval pilot: presidential candidate John McCain. In fact, according to Fox News, McCain met on Monday with a veritable Who's Who (no, seriously: who?) of Hollywood celebrities at the Beverly Hills Hilton in an attempt to solicit money from the group he hates the most. After the jump, the list of celebs in attendance (there's no Dennis Hopper, but trust us, you don't want to miss it):

Says Fox News:

While Barack Obama has the majority of Hollywood backing his candidacy, McCain had his own small cadre of celebs in attendance tonight. Among those that were spotted:

Stephen Baldwin, Pat Boone, Wilford Brimley, Dean Cain, Jon Cryer, Robert Duvall, Angie Harmon, Patricia Heaton, Lorenzo Lamas, Craig T. Nelson, Gail O’Grady, Jason Sehorn, Gary Sinise, Jon Voight.

“I would like to thank so many brave and courageous people who are here that happen to be in the business of Hollywood who are risking their entire futures and careers,” McCain added.

Noteworthy: Tori Spelling was also dining at the Beverly Hills Hilton Monday evening but did not appear to be there for the fundraiser.

That is noteworthy (see what you've driven her to, 90210 producers? See??), but not as noteworthy, perhaps, as the former host of Are You Hot? acting as a celebrity endorsement for the party of "family values." Also: Superman? Say it ain't so! Still, in the end, we must reluctantly agree with McCain: is there anything braver than the sight of a megastar like Stephen Baldwin risking his "entire future and career" to stand up for what he so dimly believes in?

<![CDATA[Hollywood LamasWatch: The Renegade Flies Economy]]> Our operatives' ongoing attempts to chronicle the comings and goings of former Are You Hot? host Lorenzo Lamas once again merit attention in a special feature, which we've temporarily christened Hollywood LamasWatch for the duration of this item in honor of the gloriously maned, syndicated renegade:

Lorenzo Lamas was seated in the Economy section of my BA flight from London Heathrow to LAX on Monday. I'm not sure I would have noticed him if he hadn't stood in the aisle for quite some time running his fingers through his perfectly coiffed hair. His presence made the very long flight a bit more enjoyable as my friends and I spent a great deal of time considering what hair products he must use to render his do utterly unmoved after so many hours crammed into a very uncomfortable space. (By the way, surely the masterpiece that was Renegade must have given him enough cash to upgrade?!?)

A very old English granny type did approach him to express her admiration and he seemed quite charming. He did actually linger outside the
bathrooms for quite a while, but so did I because I'd lost all feeling in my legs while sitting in my seat at one stage.

You will undoubtedly be relieved to find out that Lamas and his septuagenarian admirer did not retire to the cramped, onboard w.c. for the kind of quickie that was suggested the last time he appeared in this space—not because he'd ever turn down a fan's affection, but rather due to the fact that he feels allowing a groupie to punch his Mile High Club membership card anywhere but under a tiny airline blanket at his assigned seat is the mark of an amateur.

<![CDATA[Hollywood PrivacyWatch Special Edition: Lorenzo Lamas' Quickie Bathroom Brunch]]> lorenzo-lamas.jpgIn this new era of George Clooney-sponsored celebrity sighting sabotage, today's PrivacyWatch Special Edition must carry an extra disclaimer: Not only is this pair of sightings not fact-checked, they could have originated from the mischeivous Clooney himself, or an ambitious publicist trying to take down the entire fucking system:

· Saw Lorenzo Lamas yesterday (4/2) at Swingers on Beverly at 11:30am. Then I saw Shaun White at the same Swingers at 12:30pm. Shaun was with friends in a booth near the door.

· My buddy and I were breakfasting at Swingers on Beverly and I said, "Isn't that Lorenzo Lamas sitting with that collagen-enhanced woman over there?" Sure enough, he walked right by us a few minutes later and straight into the ladies room — he didn't even try the men's room first. 10 seconds later, a waitress followed Renegade into the ladies room and emerged 30 seconds later with a big smile on her face. Lorenzo then exited the ladies room about 30 seconds after that looking like the playah that he is, kissing Collagina on the cheek as he sat down.

In fact, we kind of hope that Lamas' "people" are behind them (even though we expect they aren't—can he still afford "people"?), because there could be nothing more hilarious than a publicist trying to convince us that the former Renegade is still famous enough to pull some waitress tail whenever he so desires.

<![CDATA[Short Ends: Lamas Chippendaled Out Of Playmate Wedding?]]> lamas.jpg· "The two of us have chosen to take different paths, but will continue to support each other in the spirit of the goodness and light that brought us together." Commenting about the sudden, possibly stripper-induced cancellation of his client's wedding, Lorenzo Lamas's agent waxes surprisingly poetic. (Eh, you know his assistant wrote it.) Still, it's hard not to view any Lamas-related misfortune as karmic payback for Are You Hot?
· Kathy Hilton says what all of America's been thinking: "This show fucking sucks."
· Sienna Miller's mom doesn't know if her daughter and nanny-zapping fiancée Jude Law will reconcile, but allows that if she had a nanny that spicy, she'd have "hit it" too.
· For the record, Mia Farrow doesn't think that Roman Polanski hit on that Swedish chick, either.
