Saving the Apes with Charlotte Ross & Zachary Quinto

Animal lovers and celebs alike enjoyed a jungle paradise at this Beverly Hills party!

Zachary Quinto, Christine Elise, Charlotte Ross, Rudy Youngblood,and other (B and C-list!) celebs supported In Defense of Animals at an event held at a producer’s mansion off Mullholland Drive. The posh Mediterranean estate was set up safari style with all proceeds benefiting chimpanzee and gorilla conservation in Cameroon.

The silent auction featured paintings from Picasso, Miro and Degas, while Gwen Stefani donated loads of items from L.A.M.B and a signed electric guitar. Prince Diabete, a world renowned Kora Player, brought his African band to play as guests mingled under the clear summer evening.

I can’t seem to get enough of Zachary these days. When I talked to hi m about attending the party he got sweetly and sincerely serious. "It's our closest genetic relative and they are being massacred, mistreated, exploited, and abused so it really drives someone to some level of action." IDA was offering “Adopt a Chimp” programs and when I asked Zach if he had adopted a chimp yet, he said he was in negotiations to own his own chimp.

Christine is also an animal lover but isn’t looking for that kind of monkey in her house. She wants a man! The 41 and fabulous ER star earnestly wants to find a good guy out there. It’s not easy in Hollywood, Christine! You might be better off with a chimp after all.

Before Christine has to go the Chimp route, shouldn't you at least introduce her to Jared Leto?

When do you get to meet the Beckham's?
