Happy Birthday!





Nelson Mandela's birthday party brought out all the celebs Denzel, Oprah, Will and Jada and Robert Deniro and his wife Grace Hightower. Noticeably absent was Naomi Campbell. Here is the reason:

“The concert, to celebrate Mandela’s upcoming 90th birthday, will raise funds for the 46664 AIDS charity organized by the revered figure. The five-digit number was Mandela’s inmate ID during his 27 years in prison under apartheid. Mandela was upset because Campbell was arrested for assaulting two police officers while wearing a baseball cap with the 46664 logo. Mandela felt the arrest was at odds with his charity’s goals,”

I heard he, personally, requested her name be removed from the guest list! Damn!
