How much would you pay to rub shoulders with the stars at Elton John 's official Oscar viewing party on February 26? How much would you pay to attend the party -- and hang out with Steven Tyler all night as his guest? If you've got thousands of bucks lying around, this once-in-a-lifetime experience could be yours.
The Aerosmith singer/ American Idol judge has teamed up with the website CharityBuzz.com to auction off two tickets to join him and his fiancee, Erin Brady , at Elton's super-exclusive party later this month in West Hollywood. If you win, you'll have to pay your own way to Hollywood, but you'll get to attend the event, which includes a cocktail reception, a gourmet dinner by Iron Chef Cat Cora , a live auction and an after-show performance by Sir Elton and Grammy-nominated group Foster the People . CharityBuzz.com puts the hard cost of the tickets at $11,000 but throwing Steven into the mix, the website says, makes them "priceless."
In a statement, Tyler said of the auction , "How would you have to dress if you were sitting next to me at a table at Elton John's Oscar Party? Sounds like a loaded question, eh? Put your money where your mouth is and arrive as you will and come as you are to help me support the Elton John AIDS Foundation!" The auction closes on February 21 and when we last checked, bidding was up over $13,000.
