Charitable Three-Way Takes Place Between Criss Angel, Dita Von Teese and Elvis Costello

I know it's just because I'm gross and random, but Richard Branson's insistence on making that V-symbol with his fingers in these pictures of him promoting his Virgin Unite charity makes me uncomfortable. I just like to assume everyone's a pervert like me. In any case, I love any event that would bring together the talents of Dita Von Teese, Elvis Costello and Criss Angel. They were all gathered at the $10,000 a plate dinner to help raise money for Virgin Unite's Heaven's Angels Campaign, which provides funds for health-care workers in sub-Saharan Africa so that they have the means to travel into areas virtually cut off from regular medical care and hospitals. Branson expressed his joy at the success of the event, which was held in Toronto.

"We've got some wonderful performers here tonight who are here to entertain, to make sure Canadians go away having had the best night of their lives, so that when we go to turn them upside down next year and try to get the money out of their pockets, they'll come back."
What magic trick--I'm sorry illusion does Criss Angel use to make his hair stay so perfectly styled and unmoving? You know at one point, Dita looked over her shoulder and thought, "Dude, I don't even have as much product in my hair as you do. And it took me four hours to get ready this morning."
