Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton are around this weekend to celebrate the former president's 65th birthday and raise money for the William J. Clinton Foundation. Details from the Hollywood Reporter:
The weekend will kick off with a public memorial service for philanthropist Edie Wasserman at UCLA’s Royce Hall. The former first couple are expected to attend the services honoring Hollywood’s “first lady.” Wasserman was the wife of longtime Universal chairman Lew, a powerful force in the entertainment industry and in politics. Also attending the services is Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.After the service, the Clintons will head to the Hollywood Palladium for a birthday gala for Bill, with Stevie Nicks performing.
On Saturday, there’s a 7 p.m. benefit concert for the Clinton Foundation at the Hollywood Bowl featuring Lady Gaga, Bono and the Edge, Usher, Kenny Chesney, K’naan and other artists.
Those who raise between $500,000 and $1 million for the Clinton Foundation will get an invitation to the weekend’s more intimate events, including Saturday brunch at Haim and Cheryl Saban’s Beverly Hills compound, personally hosted by Chelsea and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, and a round of golf on Sunday with Clinton. (No word on where the former president and family are staying. When Clinton was chief executive, he would often stay at Saban’s lavish estate.)
