[Freddie Stubbs]

Raising more than $1 million for her presidential election campaign in one night, Hillary Clinton was greeted Wednesday evening by a star-studded crowd at a Beverly Hills fundraiser hosted by pop star Christina Aguilera and her fiancé, producer Matthew Rutler.

Katie Holmes, Muse singer Matthew Bellamy and 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry (who wrote Aguilera’s hit song “Beautiful”) were among the celebs who mingled with Clinton on her fifth fundraising trip to Los Angeles. Also spotted in the crowd: Gangster Squad actress Ambyr Childers and her husband, Lone Survivor producer Randall Emmett, singer/actress Christina Milan and legendary music exec Irving Azoff.

Clinton opened her remarks by telling the crowd that she is inspired by Aguilera’s song “Fighter” and plans to fight for “everyday Americans.”

The evening, which was co-hosted by CAA agent and Clinton bundler Darnell Strom, also included a mini-concert with performances by Aguilera, indie singer-songwriter Patrick Joseph, A Great Big World and Perry (who teamed up with Aguilera to sing “Beautiful”).

3. Sounds like a successful evening.

It takes a lot of money to win an election for President. And these folks are far from being the Koch Brothers, who will be funding whoever gets the Republican nomination.

Perspective is good.
