"Driving Miss Daisy" On Broadway Celebrates James Earl Jones's 80th Birthday
Where: Golden Theater
Who Was There: James Earl Jones, Driving Miss Daisy cast
Other Details: The man, the legend, the voice of Darth Vader turned 80 last night. Happy bday to him! Instead of taking the night off from his play Driving Miss Daisy, he showed up to work where his co-stars, including Vanessa Redgrave, threw him a party complete with a cake.
Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp
Where: Various locations that, like, totally rock, man
Who Was There: Roger Daltrey, Danny Goldberg, Mark Farner, Mark Hudson, French (Twisted Sister), Sandy Gennaro (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts), Simon Kirke (Bad Company), and famed producer Phil Ramone
Other Details: Wanna be rock and rollers get 10+ hours a day in studio, help writing an original song and putting together a set list for the final show, and lots of opportunities to " jam with legends," as part of the camp package. What legends you ask? Roger Daltrey of The Who. Impressive. On the last day there is a concert at BB Kings where family and friends can watch you pay to be a god. Bonus: guests receive a "Celebrity swag bag." Sigh. On the upside, proceeds from the concert will benefit Jesse Farner, the 21-year-old son of Mark Farner and former member of Grand Funk Railroad, who was seriously injured when he fell and fractured a vertebra in his neck.

Guests are treated to ice skating, dinner, auctions and autographs for a good cause. [Via]
