CELEB TEE OFF There's a big charity auction and bash happening tonight in a local downtown restaurant with lots of Hollywood heavies and some local celebs expected to attend. It's part of a golf tournament sponsored by Vancouver's Vidatron Entertainment Group and Monarch Entertainment Group as a fundraiser for The Cure Autism Now (Canada) Foundation.
Tomorrow the swells will spend the day on one of our more breathtaking courses, winding it all up with an outdoor cocktail party and barbecue buffet.
Producers David Wolper (If It's Tuesday This Must Be Belgium), Bud Yorkin (All in The Family) and Grant Tinker (The Mary Tyler Moore Show), and stars Cynthia Geary, Jack Scalia, Bruce Greenwood, Tom Poston, Don Davis, Billy Warlock, Kaj Eriksen and Jeffrey Byron will be there.

GOLF-O-RAMA Last week, computer gremlins ate most of an item about the celeb golf tournament sponsored by Vidatron Entertainment and Monarch Entertainment that raised $130,000 for Cure Autism Now.
Winner of the July 26 tournament was Wolverton Securities: Their designated celeb was James McCaffery, star of the TV series Viper. Second place was won by David Naughton, best-known for his role in the movie An American Werewolf in London. Third: Renshaw Travel, whose celeb was the hysterically funny Tom Poston (he played the loopy handyman, George, on Newhart in the 1980s).
At the previous evening's bash at Mescalero, Poston sipped happily on a martini with movie moguls David Wolper, Bud Yorkin and Grant Tinker, the big guys behind The Mary Tyler Moore Show (Tinker was once married to her), All In the Family and The Thorn Birds.
While You Were Sleeping's Bill Pullman, here shooting Lake Placid, showed up at the party, too. Jack Scalia (Dallas) was a major presence, as was young Kaj-Erik Eriksen (The Commish), Don Davis of Stargate, Bruce Greenwood, here shooting Double Jeopardy, Billy Warlock (General Hospital) and Christina Cox (FX: The Series).
