Russell Simmons and his wife, Kimora Lee, have announced their separation - but the couple plan to host a fundraiser Saturday at Donald Trump's estate in Palm Beach. The dinner and auction at Mar-a-Lago will benefit Art for Life, which Simmons and his brothers founded. The hip-hop mogul has called on celebrity friends to attend the $1,000-a-person event.

"This will be the best party Mar-a-Lago has ever seen," Simmons said Wednesday while sitting poolside at the Delano hotel. "I have to tell Kimora to bring one of my suits." Jamie Foxx, Antonio "L.A." Reid and Denise Rich will be honored for their philanthropic efforts to promote art among the youth.

Others expected to attend include Trump and his wife, Melania; Venus and Serena Williams; and Kelly Rowland. Up for bid will be items such as a trip to the Bahamas for 20 on a chartered jet, couture gowns and top-of-the-line beauty products. "Last year my wife got a Rolls-Royce," Simmons said.
