Jimmy Attends Clinton Birthday Bash

August 23rd, 2010


Last week Jimmy Buffett attended a star-studded birthday party in the Hamptons for former president Bill Clinton:

Among the glitterati on the guest list for Clinton’s 64th birthday party, were designer Vera Wang, who created his daughter Chelsea’s wedding gown, TV host Katie Couric and music icons Paul McCartney and Jimmy Buffett.

The party was held at the Water Mill home of his longtime aide Doug Band and his wife, Lily, and catered by Jason Weiner of Almond restaurant in Bridgehampton.

Clinton’s wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, co-hosted the party that was also said to include model Christie Brinkley, “Today Show” host Matt Lauer and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

Clinton’s birthday was Thursday, and McCartney made the ex-president’s day by calling and serenading him with The Beatles’ 1967 hit “When I’m Sixty-Four.”

In the summer of 2000, Jimmy and the Coral Reefers played on the South Lawn of the White House for Clinton’s birthday.
