FORMER fund-raiser Aaron Tonken drops the dime on Hollywood's greediest celebs in a blistering new book.

"King of Cons: Exposing the Dirty Rotten Secrets of the Washington Elite and Hollywood Celebrities" (Thomas Nelson) is a memoir by Tonken, best known as the organizer of a gala in Bill Clinton's honor attended by John Travolta, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher and others.

High school dropout Tonken conned millions out of rich nobodies who paid through the nose to rub elbows with stars and politicos at charity events. But rather than use the money for charity, Tonken would use it just to pay the stars to show up.
