Elie Wiesel, the holocaust survivor whose book, Night, had a resurgence of popularity after Oprah Winfrey included it in her all-powerful book club, honored my favorite talk show host (and yours) this weekend for her humanitarian efforts. Say what you will about the self-congratulatory way with which Oprah leads her life, she deserves the recognition she gets.

Angela Bassett was also an honoree this weekend at a high tea (hence the funny hats) for Victoria Rowell's foundation for foster children. Courtney B. Vance was in attendance to support his wife, but 50 Cent was curiously absent. You think he might not enjoy high tea at the Beverly Hills Hotel?
