Baby boomer and former president Bill Clinton is laying plans to celebrate his 60th birthday in grand style with a charitable fundraising extravaganza in New York late next month that will include an invitation-only concert by the Rolling Stones and contributor packages that run to $500,000.00 and higher.
Clinton's daughter, Chelsea is serving as co-host of the three-day party. She will host a Saturday brunch on a weekend that also features a golf tournament at the Bayonne (N.J.) Golf Club, multiple receptions and a dinner at the American Museum of Natural History with the former president, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Chelsea.
The 2,100 invitations began arriving this week. Weekend packages start at $60,000.00 (Hint: $1,000 for every year of Clinton's age). Next is the "Vice Chairman Package," for those who contribute $100,000.00 or raise $250,000.00
Those who pledge $500,000.00 or more will receive the "Birthday Chair Package," which includes the "Backstage Pass" dinner and photo with Clinton and platinum seating at the Saturday dinner and the Stones concert.
The Rolling Stones will perform at the Beacon Theater, an art deco landmark on upper Broadway that seats about 3,000 people.
According to the invitation, the concert will be taped for an upcoming Martin Scorsese movie about the band.
Clinton turned 60 in August but organizers delayed the birthday fundraising event until late October to avoid any complaints from other Democrats that solicitation of money for the former president's foundation would soak up money that could otherwise be used to try to win back the House and Senate in November.
The proceeds will go to the William J. Clinton Foundation, the umbrella organization that oversees the Clinton HIV-AIDS initiative, the Clinton Global Initiative and several other programs launched by the former president since he left office almost six years ago.

Would like to see the books. Bet a lot of money goes to staff that is doing research for Hillary and other favored candidates as well as maintaining BJ's plush Harlem office space. Guess we won't see any coverage of the Foundations expenditures.
Bye, bye, mick and keith, stopped listening to you all, especially after you all pushed the founder of your prosperity,(Brian Jones) out of the Stones.
The Clintons should be happy then. The 60s are back. Maybe NOW they'll retire.
George Soros has deep pockets.
Actually I think that Chelsea had Bubba rescedule so he wouldn't be upstaged by the Viacom-MTV Video Music Awards.
Weird...
They're giving him money to cover their bets for the future, in case she-who-must-not-be-named is president one day.
Clinton's ego has to be the size of a train. What a sick person.
It will be like the scene in the Final Countdown, where Damien Thorne addresses his minions..
Is THAT recent?

If you ever saw her father you'd get an idea where she got her genes. But, those jeans she's wearing in the pic ...... who knows where she got them.
But honestly, I really feel sorry for people who actually have a "naturally" fat parent. It must be awful to be fat and have little you can do about it.
Even when she was rather pretty I thought I could tell she most likely was going to blimp out because she had that extra bit of fat on the back of her upper arms --- a telltale area of the body.
Yoi .....
That is a CLASSIC!
