    Andy Cohen tweeted all night... mostly about Jennifer Hudson's ridiculous security detail.

    "Liza is onstage going superdeep about Dame Elizabeth Taylor. Liza is feeling it on this Manhattan summer night. "

    "Why does Jennifer Hudson need two body guards!? Is someone trying to get her? Is there a JHud treat?"

    "JHud tore the ROOF off MoMA. Her security detail wisked her out before any attempt on her life by this rowdy amfAR crowd." [twitter]
