Steffi Graf: Queen of Las Vegas?

While I suppose there's a slight chance that she knows better than I what is best for her, I still can't help but be completely depressed thinking of Steffi Graf living her life out in Las Vegas, a depressing city that stands for everything the German tennis goddess was not. (Reading about Andre Agassi's tacky McMansion in Kathy Griffin's memoir only reiterated how wrong the whole situation is.) Still, I must say the Fraulein Forehand was looking surprisingly fetching over the weekend at the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education's 15th Grand Slam for Children benefit concert, where Elton John, Jennifer Hudson, Jason Mraz, Rob Thomas, Taylor Hicks and AJ Green all performed -- and Bill Cosby made a surprise appearance. The benefit raised a whopping $8.5 million, which translates into annual scholarships for three quarters of the 600 kids at the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy.

I guess it's ok for Elton and Aggasi to hold each other like that now since they both hate gays?
