Obama and Clinton coming back for LA money this month

hrc-invite-619.jpgPresident Obama and candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton are both coming to Los Angeles again this month for fundraisers. The president will be the headliner on June 18 at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser at a actor Tyler Perry's Westside home, per The Hollywood Reporter. The tabs range from $2,500 to $33,500 for the full dinner with the president thing. Perry supported Obama with a couple of fundraisers in Atlanta in 2012.

Clinton is due to arrive the same day for fundraisers in Orange County, then on June 19 has three events aimed at separating Hollywood supporters from their money — in increments of $2,700 a shot. The first is hosted by Westfield Corp. co-CEO Peter Lowy and his wife, Janine. Later Clinton will be at the home of HBO president of programming Michael Lombardo and his husband, Sonny Ward. Then the candidate heads to the home of actor Tobey Maguire and his wife, Jennifer, for the final event of the day.

Clinton was here in May, you may remember, and left with $3 million more in her campaign treasury.
