It didn’t matter whether or not your name was on the guest list at the Every Woman Counts party Tuesday night at Cowboy Ranch.

“All I know is if you aren’t Ashanti, you aren’t coming through this door right now,” a woman working the door said.

Whatever.

There was still good star watching on the red carpet.

Yep, we saw Ashanti. And Heather Smith, executive director of Rock the Vote. We watched Fran Drescher strut by in a white- and blue-print halter. “Wicked” and “Rent” star Idina Menzel stopped to pose for cameras, wearing a white vest and silver pants. Her hubby, Taye Diggs, was there to support Menzel, who was hosting the Lifetime-sponsored party.

Also working the red carpet: Brigid Brannagh and Sally Pressman of Lifetime’s Army Wives, in matching red pumps and croc bags.

Actress Alicia Witt, of Law & Order fame, stopped to say Obama really represents the people.
