The last week of April was a biggie for Brits in Los Angeles. There was a certain royal wedding to toast, of course. But first came the April 28 gala dinner for BritWeek, an annual event that highlights Southern California’s connections to Britain. The gala honored AEG Worldwide’s chief executive, Timothy J. Leiweke, at far right. Singer Seal, center, performed. With him is his wife, the model and “Project Runway” fixture Heidi Klum. (Frazer Harrison / Getty Images)

It was called the Rock & Royalty Race to Erase MS and its list of attendees made that a self-fulfilling prophecy. The April 29 gala was co-presented by Nancy Davis, left, standing with socialite Paris Hilton. (Charley Gallay / WireImage)
