Tommy Hilfiger and Nancy Davis at the 18th Annual Rock & Royalty to Erase MS

Forget whatever royals are getting married; we’ve got our eye on American royalty, Tommy Hilfiger and Nancy Davis. Join the King of American sportswear and MS survivor and Philanthropist Nancy Davis as they present the 18^th Annual Rock & Royalty to Erase MS. The annual gala and celeb-spotting spectacular will raise funds for research to find the cause and ultimate cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

Mark Ballas, Garcelle Beauvais, Ed Begley Jr., Nicky and Paris Hilton, Bill Maher, Cheryl Burke, Heather Locklear, Sugar Ray Leonard and way, way more headlining names will be coming out to add to the $35 million already raised by the charity.

The evening includes live performances by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Clay Walker, and other surprise performers, with a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions hosted by celeb auctioneers Shaun Robinson and Mark Curry (will someone bid on the 10-day Kenya Safari for two coming from Ker & Downey please?) and gala dinner.

Clockwise: Nathaniel Hoho and the Click Clack Boom, Clay Walker, Joan Jett, Nancy Davis, Andy and Tommy Hilfiger

Adding to the Rock & Roll Royalty theme, Andy Hilfiger will showcase a fashion show featuring a sneak preview of his new line Andrew Charles.  I can’t wait to see Andy’s never-ending quest to merge the worlds of fashion, music and entertainment portrayed in rock star ready duds.  Since I ran into Hilfiger himself at the SXSW festival in Austin this year, with the band The Click Clack Boom, I’ve been anticipating the debut line, which will be carried by Macy’s.  The lead singer Nathaniel Hoho will be adding some qualified rocker edge by walking in the fashion show along with numerous other celebs.

The evening will also be honoring Katie Mattingly Brass and William O. “Bill” Perkins, this year’s “Medal of Hope” awards recipients.

When: Friday, April 29; cocktails and silent auction at 6:30 pm; dinner and live entertainment at 8:30 pm

Where: Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, 2025 Ave of the Stars
