Even though he's been out of office for over ten years, Bill Clinton still proved his viability at this weekend's "Decade of Difference" concert. Attracting some of the biggest stars on the planet, his Hollywood Bowl benefit show featured awesome musical performances, memorable speeches, and an online simulcast that was seen by millions.
The purpose of the concert was to honor the former Prez and his charitable Clinton Foundation. It also happened to coincide with his 65th birthday, which Lady Gaga made sure the crowd was well aware of. Channeling vintage Marilyn Monroe, the Little Monster sung Bill a very sexy version of "Bad Romance."
Clinton had joked earlier that he was a tad nervous about what Gaga may attempt to do.
"I wondered, you know, she always kind of goes up to the edge, she said she was going to have a Marilyn moment," he said on stage. "I thought, 'my God, I get Lady Gaga and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday.'"
And Lady G was just the tip of the musical iceberg. Throughout the night, legendary artists like Stevie Wonder and Bono took the mic and belted out their classic hits. Tr3s fave Juanes had some memorable moments too, singing tracks from his Mi Sangre album and sharing his personal Bill stories with the crowd.
But don't think the Clinton celebration was just limited to the Saturday concert. Friday night, the Foundation hosted a gala dinner featuring a ton of A-list celebs. Jessica Alba, Stevie Nicks, and Fergie were just a few of the famous faces who were seen mingling at the event. And if you're curious about which star attracted the most attention, it was undoubtedly Sofia Vergara in her shimmering black dress.
Other weekend highlights included a Saturday brunch hosted by former first daughter Chelsea Clinton and Sunday golf with Bill and his closest confidants. Not a bad way to spend a birthday if you ask us. And what makes things even better is the fact that the "Decade of Difference" concert tickets helped raise millions for the Foundation’s causes.
