Lindsay Lohan's oil heir ex Brandon Davis makes rare red carpet appearance with wife Ashley Benson
and her husband Brandon Davis got all dressed up to attend the Race to Erase MS gala. The annual gala is thrown by Brandon's mother Nancy Davis and attracts the who's who of Hollywood. Ashley, 35, put on a leggy display in a Veronica Beard black romper with a plunging neckline and belted waist. She wore her blonde hair down and parted on the side and chose black pumps for her shoes of the night. Her husband, an oil heir to his grandfather Marvin Davis' fortune, 45, looked suave in a black suit with a white shirt with the first button undone. The couple posed for pics with Nancy, who wore a gorgeous black gown and sequin jacket from designer Veronica Beard. The 32nd annual fundraising gala took place on May 16 at the Fairmont Century Plaza hotel. To top off the evening, guests enjoyed a beautiful dinner and can take part in a silent auction - as well as enjoy a fashion show from Veronica Beard. Robin Thicke provided the evening's entertainment. 'We are so thrilled and excited to have the talented Robin Thicke and A Great Big World entertaining our guests for the 32nd annual Race to Erase MS Gala,' Nancy Davis, the charity's founder, said. She continued: 'We are also looking forward to seeing the incredible styles by Veronica Beard on the runway for this year's fashion show.' Race to Erase MS was founded in 1993 by Nancy Davis, who was diagnosed with MS at only 33 years old. Davis, now 67, is dedicated to the treatment and ultimate cure of multiple sclerosis, striving to pool together recourses and research for the best chance of a cure. Funding research is the core focus of the foundation and significant strides have been made to find the cause and cure of this debilitating disease. The event has been instrumental in funding pilot studies that have contributed to drugs now on the market and other very important therapies that are improving the lives of people suffering from MS. Brandon - who notoriously called Lindsay Lohan 'firecrotch' in 2006 after they dated - was previously romantically linked to The O.C. alum Mischa Barton, socialite Brittny Gastineau, and hotel heiress Paris Hilton. Ashley and Brandon are the parents of daughter Aspen, 15 months. The Pretty Little Liars star shared a sweet Valentine's Day message for her baby on Instagram. She shared a photo of Aspen with a strawberry emoji concealing her face as she was getting glam by pro make-up artist Laura Bueno. 'From the moment you came into my life, everything changed in the most beautiful way,' Ashley - who boasts 33.3M social media followers - gushed. 'Your smile is infectious and your little spunky personality makes me laugh every single day. I have never loved anything as much as I love you. Waking up to you every day is the best gift I have ever received. My forever best friend and my little girl.' Benson currently plays Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh's fictional love interest Cindy in Mike Ott's psychological thriller McVeigh, which hit limited US theaters and VOD on March 21. The terrorist drama currently has a 71% critic approval rating (out of 17 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes, and the Spring Breakers alum joined the project six years before they filmed it. 'Mike brought [Cindy] in there to just kind of show a different side of Timothy and to kind of show that he is a human being with feelings and he's yearning for a connection with someone,' Ashley told JoBlo last month. 'It was really nice how those scenes played out because there's a lot of quietness and there's a lot of storytelling through me and Alfie's eyes looking at each other and just showing that there is a softer side to him. '[Plus,] her being completely unaware of what his motives were throughout the film, it was interesting just how [that] played out and how it was a very intimate, genuine connection that I think both characters were longing for.'

Asheville LGBTQ+ bar destroyed by Hurricane Helene is reopening 'twice as big' (exclusive)
An LGBTQ+ bar and event space in Asheville, North Carolina that was destroyed by Hurricane Helene is reopening, and its owners are promising to be "bigger, gayer, and louder" than ever. Keep up with the latest in + news and politics. Day Trip, owned by Brandon Davis and his husband, Davie, had to close after just 31 days in business, leaving the two with over $200,000 in loans and no source of income. Four months later, the couple is preparing to reopen at a new location "twice as big as what we had before." "Once we hit our GoFundMe goal, we knew that we had to get back up and running as soon as possible," Davis tells The Advocate. "With everything going on in North Carolina and everything going on in California, it's nice to know you can come back and you can come back stronger." The couple wasn't expecting to go viral, but the donations came pouring in — a large share from LGBTQ+ people who expressed their solidarity. Davis says it made them "feel more of a part of the community," which made them want to give back. They specifically hope to do more events for queer youth in the future, since "so many teenagers donated to our GoFundMe." Though a space double the size of their first location is "a lot to take on," it allows Day Trip to open a full cafe alongside their cocktail bar, and host even larger events. Davis promises that "we're going to be bigger, we're going to be gayer, we're going to be louder." "I don't want to put anyone's money in a situation where I'm doing it half-assed. I want to do it right and I want people who donated to be like, 'This is why I donated,'" he says. "I want to represent not only the Asheville community, but just the queer community, because if they didn't step up for me, we would have lost our house. We wouldn't have been able to reopen." Davis says that he experienced a form of tunnel vision after his business was destroyed and his home became unlivable. While the support felt like a "good dream," the situation his family was living was like a "nightmare." Rebuilding Day Trip was "the only thing that kept me occupied." "I'm so grateful for all the people who just kept lifting us up during that time, because it was almost too much for me to lift myself up," Davis says. "I feel like if I didn't have that to focus on, I would have just sunk into a really dark place." "It's weird to have a conversation during the natural disaster or during a traumatic event like that, as opposed to when you're months out of it," he continues. "Even though we had so much constant news being shown to us on our phones, it was like we hadn't processed any of it yet. We were reading what was happening, but we weren't really understanding deeply what was happening." Now, Davis feels like "it's the same thing in L.A." as communities are still grappling with devastating wildfires. Though the disaster is occurring on the other side of the country, Davis feels connected to the people there as they experience similar losses to him. He believes that it reflects how "nowhere feels safe." "It's gonna get worse, [natural disasters] are gonna get more frequent, they're gonna get more devastating, more traumatizing," he says. "When are people gonna wake up? ... Eventually you're going to be the video people are watching, because nowhere is safe if we don't act on it." Asheville, like Day Trip, is still rebuilding over 100 days later. Davis says that at their old location, it still "looks like the hurricane just happened yesterday" with collapsed buildings and bridges, cars abandoned in the mud, and debris hanging from the trees. While the rest of the country moves on, Hurricane Helene is "going to be something that sticks with us for forever." Davis, like the people in Los Angeles, "didn't know what to do" when disaster struck. All the community knew in the following days was that "they needed to band together to help who they can." Now, as Day Trip prepares to reopen in April, he knows first-hand that recovery isn't just possible — it's inevitable. "If you have the support behind you, then you can do anything," Davis says. "And sometimes that just takes you asking for it."
