Alright, so the game ended about a year ago and I didn't get a chance to play in it, but it was one hell of a min-maxing showdown, and now I have taken it upon myself to make a character for such a game. Now, the build I'm thinking of is a Charisma ***** build. I'm using a magic-blooded venerable Dragonwrought kobold (+0 LA, +5 Charisma) as the base, and now I need to fill out one gestalt side with mostly templates. I'm looking for templates that have a 2:1 Charisma:LA ratio or higher, and here are the templates I've found so far:

Evolved Undead (Libris Mortis): +1 LA, +2 Charisma, stackable template
Half-Fey (Fiend Folio): +2 LA, +4 Charisma
Phrenic (Expanded Psionics Handbook): +2 LA, +4 Charisma
Saint (Book of Exalted Deeds): +2 LA, +4 Charisma
Obah-Blessed, +4 Arms (Dungeon Magazine #136): +3 LA, +6 Charisma
Radiant (Dragon Magazine #321): +3 LA, +6 Charisma

Any other templates out there that have a 2:1 Charisma:LA ratio or higher?

Variant Half Fiend with Succubi as a Parent.
Str +2, Dex +2, Int +4, and Cha +8.
LA 4
various spell like abilities and other benefits the half fiend template gives

Here you can find a lot of templates, under which the Fire Souled template from Dragon Magazine #314, which gives you +4 Charisma, Immunity to Stunning! and Daze!, 1/day Haste, FREE Leadership feat and to top it off a +2 on your leadership score,(and some more goodies) all that for a whopping 1 LA!!!

Fire-Souled is actually +3 LA. Believe me, I have the issue of Dragon in question with me here. CrystalKeep goofs up sometimes.

Ah, I already thought it too good to be true :P
The best error of Crystalkeep is the Xvart; -2 LA :D

its not just the CHA boost you need to look at but what else it has .....

Saint is incredible for +2 LA

1/2 Fey and Phrenic are also great

Uh, I thought that the Silverwraith template is LA N/A, and it only gives +2 Charisma?

I think the LA is +8, can't give you a source though. And no, while not technically a booster of Charisma, it has some awesome Charisma dependent abilities. A Magicblood Silveraith Dragonwrought Kobold 8/ Hexblade 3/ Paladin of Slaughter 2/ Monk 2/ Battle Dancer 1/ Bard 4 with Snowflake Wardance, Divine Might, Slippers of Battledancing, Ascetic Mage is nice... well you get the picture.
