U.S. senator and presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton collected $2.6 million at a Hollywood fund-raiser Saturday evening, doubling the amount that Sen. Barack Obama, currently her closest challenger for the Democratic nomination, raised at a similar event last month.

Reuters reported Monday that about 700 invitees paid $2,300 each for dinner with Senator Clinton and former president Bill Clinton at supermarket mogul Ron Burkle's estate. About 250 guests paid an additional $2,300 for a meet-and-greet with the candidate. Among the guests were Barbra Streisand, James Brolin, Ted Danson, Paula Abdul, Berry Gordy, and several media executives. (The Advocate)
