But they weren't there just for the cool music, trendy snacks or to check out the Sama shades seen on Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, Pamela Anderson, Robin Williams, Robert Downey Jr., Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones. They were really there to help stop the all-too familiar horror of heroin addiction.

Also in the crowd: Leitch's supermodel wife, Kristy Hume, sister Ione Skye and Virginia Madsen, Freddy Rodriguez (``Six Feet Under''), Courtney Peldon, jewelry designer Loree Rodkin and Thora Birch (``Ghost World,'' ``American Beauty''). ``My first pair of Sama sunglasses is 4 years old but I still get compliments on them,'' said Birch, who is producing/starring in the film ``Vinyl,'' about the girlfriends and wives of a rising '80s band. Fittingly, Sama is making retro glasses for some of the film's shady characters.
