Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic Red Carpet Arrivals

Her Three Sons: Nicky, 16, Colton, 14, and Alex, 19 (with a lady friend)

While many dream of someday attending the Academy Awards, the ultimate star outing for me would be more like the Chris Evert Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic, the tennis legend's annual charity event that has raised nearly $20 million to fight drug abuse and child neglect in Florida. While I've been able to watch the tennis on television over the years, the opening night gala -- where I envision myself tossing back drinks with Chris and Martina as we reminisce about Chris getting robbed in the 1988 Wimbledon semifinal while an assortment of other tennis stars and tennis-loving celebrities (like Gavin Rossdale) try to join our conversation -- might just be at the top of my hopper bucket list. Chris' boys are adorable -- Chris knew what she was doing when she breeded with Andy Mill -- and seeing how ridiculous the other ex-jocks look trying to dress up would be better than a night on the Oscars red carpet with Kathy Griffin!

Double Fault: Martina Navratilova

Doubles Trouble: Gigi Fernandez and Murphy Jensen

Foley Square: Scott Foley

Stone Phillips and David Cook

Jeffrey Donovan

Elisabeth Shue and Steve Doocy(!), who teamed up with Fernandez to defeat actress Maeve Quinlan and Shue, 6-1

Gavin Rossdale, who's got killer form on the court
