Wesley Clark Gains Celebrity Appeal

Wesley Clark is drawing some major celebrities at his fundraisers:

Democratic Presidential hopeful Wesley Clark may have lured Boston's own Ben Affleck away from Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. Affleck and his fiancee, Jennifer Lopez, turned out to listen to Clark make his pitch Sunday night at a Hollywood fund-raiser. "Ben thinks very highly of Clark," a pal tells us. "He's not ready to endorse anyone, but he's leaning toward him."

Hosts of the evening were Norman Lear, Irving Azoff, Jordan Kerner and Peter Morton, who opened his restaurant, Morton's, for a performance by the Eagles.

The event, which raised $350,000, also drew Kelly Lynch, Larry David, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen (Steenburgen's and Clark's moms were best friends in Arkansas). Clark didn't stay to eat. Ever campaigning, he headed to Madonna's house for dinner with her Madgesty and about 10 other potential contributors.
