Televisionista: Eric Dane & Rebecca Gayheart Welcome Stars @ Chrysalis Butterfly Ball

JUNE 3, 2007: "Grey's Anatomy" co-star Kate Walsh and her fiancee Alex Young, "Desperate Housewife" Marcia Cross and Hollywood's naughty boy Charlie Sheen were just some of the celebrities attending yesterday's Chrysalis Butterfly Ball charity event co-chaired by actress Rebecca Gayheart.

You may have read a post last month about the LA-based nonprofit organization "Chrysalis" which is dedicated to helping economically disadvantaged and homeless individuals become self-sufficient through employment opportunities.

Eric Dane who plays Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan on the award-winning series and his wife Rebecca Gayheart ("90210," "Vanished," "Ugly Betty") have been involved with this charity for years.

This year's 6th Annual event honored producer Darren Star and Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson (among others) and was held at a private estate. The event is expected to have raised over $1 million.

The event began at 6 p.m. with a VIP cocktail reception followed by the official program at 7 p.m. Tickets were sold for $1000 and the ball was sponsored by Mercedes-Benz, Grey Goose Vodka and Flaunt Magazine.

Gayheart, who has been organizing the event for months, and her husband will now leave on a month-long vacation round-the-world before Dane returns to the set of "Grey's Anatomy" in July when shooting of the 4th season begins.
