Getting hot in here

The party is in a huge tent - it has "never been air-conditioned," says host David Furnish. It's gotten pretty hot in here. Luckily the portable toilets are just outside where it's considerably cooler - so, as you can imagine, the lines are long.

Among those inside and outside the party: an exuberant Ricki Lake and Elle Macpherson, who was thrilled when Heath Ledger won.
