That $50,000-a-couple Al Gore fund-raiser that Barbra Streisand will be heading during August's Democratic convention in Los Angeles will also have Whoopi Goldberg on the bill o' fare, reports The Washington Post. In addition, organizers are hoping to enlist Chaka Khan and Lionel Richie. But don't look for a performance by Robin Williams, who recently shocked the crowd at a Washington benefit with his foul-mouthed routine. "He can come," The Post was told, "but he'll have to pay like everyone else."
