What Does One Get Nelson Mandela?
Posted on 26 June 2008 by brian
It’s Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday and for some reason a gift card to the Olive Garden just doesn’t feel quite right.
The stars poured in for a London fundraising benefit last night celebrating the former South African leader’s 90 years. Even that nutbag Naomi Campbell showed up, despite the fact that she was banned from tonight’s big-time concert due to recent air rage allegations. (Mandela has never yelled at an airline stewardess thank you very much.)
Sir Elton John led a Happy Birthday serenade, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker gave a touching speech and Oprah reportedly took her shoes off. Mmmmmmm….
Others in attendance included Robert DeNiro, Uma Thurman, Emma Thompson and Annie Lennox.
