Bill Clinton totally got the treatment from celebrities on his belated birthday celebration. Usher ripped his pants in front of the former U.S. president while Lady GaGa raised her middle finger and danced suggestively in front of him and his family.
"A Decade of Difference: A Concert Celebrating 10 Years of the William J. Clinton Foundation" was held in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 15. The highlight of the day was when GaGa changed her hit "Bad Romance" to "Bill Romance". "I'm 25 and just four years ago I was living in a teeny tiny apartment in New York, praying every day that just one person would believe in me," she said before the performance.
"So I guess you can say that in some kind of weird and twisted New York kind of way, I love the American dream. It just takes one person to believe in you. So tonight I just thought we'd all get caught up in a little Bill romance." The lyrics to the end of the song were then changed to "I love you and your hot wife".
In another song "You and I", GaGa flipped the bird while declaring, "If someone had told me so many years ago that I'd be doing that right in front of you I just would not believe. I would have given a good American f**k you."

I could totally imagine Calvin Coolidge sitting through this. Al Jolson ripping his pants, Kate Smith flipping the bird...
You know, that Lady Gaga is a tremendous singer. Too bad she’s such a subhuman piece of trash.
What a Class Act.....Glad I watched the Texas Rangers and Detroit ball game...Saw W and wife enjoying the game looking like they were having a good time.
Don't you think the joker laughs at you, Mr. Clinton?
I don't think he's any fan of those morons.
Too bad that OWS protester from New York couldn’t have come and dedicated in Clinton’s lap like he did on the cop car. That would have been the hit of the night.
Make that defecated not dedicated!
I was going to post a "piss on bill clinton" cartoon but, would you believe I couldn't find one!?
So I had to settle for this:
Hey, I actually went to this last night.
To be fair, I’ll give the musical portion of the show a 7, and the audio portion about a 3 (being that I’m a FReeper.)
Lady Gaga stole the show from headliners Bono & the Edge. She had the crowd going for begininging to end. And her ad-libbing about Clinton was, I thought, pretty funny.
The sappy part was all of faux-praise for the Clinton Foundation and “the milions of lives” it helps save each year.
Celebrities like Ashron Kucher, Maria Belo and others gushing on and on were more than I could take.
Clinton himself was toned down in his remarks. Not overly self-congratulatory, seemed genuine and I was polite and applauded with the rest when he was finished.
Clinton even had Chelsea on stage with him and she said a few words about how proud she is of Mom & Pops.
One thing I did notice was that he, Hillary & Chelsea were seated in the front row of a box, 3-accross, and were often viewed on the big screen TV laughing and singing. I was wondering what happened to Chelsea’s husband, but then I found him with my binocculars, seated directly “behind” Chelsea and generally out of camera view. At that point I realized that this was all about promoting the Clinton brand, and that son-in-law wasn’t going to be in that spotlight.
And yeah, that Usher kid was spinning and dancing so much it’s no wonder his pants split. I think they ended his set after that; he only did 2-songs. He was probably my second favorite performer of the night after Lady Gaga.
Bonus: I only paid $40-bucks a ticket for $65 dollar tickets off Craigslist, and no Ticketmaster fees....
Bill Clinton has a family? Who knew?
Can you imagine, a president getting flipped off by a pop star and thinking it's an honor?
Why do we care what these uneducated, unamerican, non voters think. They live in a fantasy world that revolves around them.
It probably gave him flashbacks of life in arkansas.
When did Chelsea’s hubby come back? Last I heard he quit his job and went west to be a ski bum. The Clintons were pretty upset with him because Hillary wants to be a granny. Maybe she’ll be a granny to Huma’s kid.
Sounds about like what I was expecting at a Clinton bash.
What is a “Lady Gaga”? Is it a boy or a girl? Does it make us gag, hence the name “gaga”? Why does it wear dresses made of meat? Is it mentally unbalanced to do so?
The line I enjoyed the best was when Clinton was talking about Laura Ling and he said “and I never would’ve dreamed that I would have gone to North Korea to pick-up a woman.”
That one brought the uncomfortable kind of “Oooooo” laugh that just had to grate on Hillary...
