Obama dines with Disney executives, Julia Roberts at glitzy fundraiser in Bel-Air

President Obama dined with Hollywood A-listers and top Disney executives in Los Angeles during a quick visit for political fundraisers.
He spent Thursday night in Bel-Air for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reception and dinner with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the committee's chairman, Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.).

Tickets for the event ranged from $15,000 to $66,800 per couple. The event was hosted at the Spanish-style home of Alan Horn, Walt Disney Studios chairman, and his environmentalist wife, Cindy Horn.
Gwyneth Paltrow and Julia Roberts were spotted in the crowd.
