Eventually, the evening’s host handed the pasty-face grand prize to Mr. Baldwin, resulting in hugs and fawning. Second prize was a set of steak knivesLarry Busacca/Getty Images
Meanwhile, reality-TV’s Bethenny Frankel turned up at the Elton John benefit in support of her ongoing campaign to play the role of The Joker in the next Batman movie. And judging from this photo, she just might pull it off!JEWEL SAMAD/AFP / Getty Images
