Bill Clinton’s emotional birthday celebration

[Faygo Kid]

Former President Bill Clinton was a little worried about his ticker during Lady Gaga's number — and it wasn't because the blonde-bewigged singer tossed out the occasional curse word during a live-streaming concert celebrating his foundation's 10th anniversary.

The former president admitted he'd received advance warning that Lady Gaga was planning what she called her "Marilyn moment," and he was worried about what the queen of shocking moments had up her sleeve. He shared his panic moment with the crowd packed in the Hollywood Bowl, telling the audience his big fear: "I got nervous when Gaga said she was planning to have a Marilyn moment. I thought, 'my God, I get Lady Gaga and I will have a heart attack celebrating my 65th birthday.'". . .

Wish I had been there. An imperfect man, but what an economy we had under his leadership. 65! I feel old. Happy birthday, Big Dog.

1. His birthday was August 19th.

This was an anniversary celebration for his foundation.

2. Not my headline. Yahoo screws up again.

I should know better than to post anything from Yahoo news.

3. Lifestyles of the rich and famous. Yawn. n/t

6. It Was Affiliated With The Clinton Global Iniative

How many billions of dollars have they given away?

7. A lot, I hope. Still won't save Bill's soul, but I am glad to see that he's worried about it. n/t

9. I am glad he's worried about his soul.

Perhaps because he's so worried about it, he has done good things as an ex-President.

I will leave it at that. Have a nice day.

4. Bill was worried about Hillary busting him when he had his eye's on Lady Gaga's ASS

5. Bill said that AFTER Gaga's performance.

The media always trying to stir up trouble.

This part was far more interesting:

Gaga then gave the audience the middle finger and sang a reworded version of ‘You and I’ that included some special lyrics just for the Clintons. She sang;

“You and I” with such lyrics as “It’s been 12 years since you came around… So Hillary or Bill, sit back down where you belong in the oval office with those high heels on… Something about American nights when a Clinton makes us all feel safe. Somewhere something about a cool, Arkansas guy, yes, something about — Billary… Billary, that’s your new celebrity name… to the Clintons, you and I.”

10. Beacool, I think the Clinton Administration is ancient history here. Extraordinary.

My daughter turned 35 on Friday. Nothing makes me feel older than that, but the fact that I worked for Bill Clinton in 1992 and was already 40, is pretty troubling.

A few more years, and this could be fun.

12. If I had a time machine,

I'd sure let you use it!

16. If there was such a thing, there would be millions of people wishing to travel back to the 90s.

Everybody who wanted a job had one, there were no major wars costing us billions per week and all the Republicans seemed obsessed with was Bill's private life.

15. Hey Bea!

Here's a link if you want to watch it:

http://gagadaily.com/2011/10/lady-gaga-bill-clinton/

Ellen introduces Gaga (and praises Bill and Hillary) at around 01:50:40.

Gaga performs "Bill Romance" at around 02:07:30... Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea all get attention. If you can only stand Gaga for a short period of time, at least watch 02:11:00 - 02:12:00... Gaga tells them she loves them so much and dances right in front of them.

Gaga performs her "You and I" tribute to Bill and Hillary at 02:14:30 (this is the best of the clips).


*hugs and kisses*

18. Hi, Jesus. Thanks for the link.

I watched the concert on Yahoo. I actually had an invitation to go, but I'm on the East coast and it was too much of a trip to go for just the weekend.

Although I'm not a great Gaga fan, I think that she's a better musician and singer than Madonna was in the 80s. She also is great to her fans, keeps her private life to herself and is involved in good causes. Considering that she's only 25 years old, she has already accomplished much in her young life.

:hi:

13. Can you provide some context for the picture in your OP?

Thanks!

14. I feel kinda sorry for The Old Dog now.

It won't be near as much fun being the 2nd Best Republican President EVER.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."

17. Bill's having the time of his life.

He's doing good throughout the world and doesn't have to put up with the hate from both the right and the left.
