Britney Steps Out For Autism: Britney Spears lent her star power to Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey’s fundraiser for Generation Rescue, which benefits autism research Saturday night, People reports. “She looked great and seemed really happy,” a party guest told the mag. “She smiled and clapped during the video about autism. She was very into the information and watched a little bit of the dancers from ‘Dancing With the Stars’, sneaking out during one of the performances.” It appears Brit draws the line at celebs-turned-ballroom dancers when it comes to her charity time.

And what does the “Gossip” guy want for a present? “I’m asking for this Mercedes over here, but they [event organizers] won’t give it to me,” he told the mag at the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge on Saturday. “I couldn’t talk them into it; they were having none of it. That’s what I want … other than world peace.”
