A rock star is someone who can light up a crowded room just by walking in. So what do you call someone who can do that to a room full of, well, rock stars? Last night, the answer to that question was "Mr. President" — Mr. Former President, to be exact. There were tons of stars at Chelsea Piers' Pier 60 for the Food Bank for New York City's annual awards dinner and auction, which raised over $1 million for the deserving charity, but the celeb other celebs wanted to hang out with was William Jefferson Clinton.
An EW colleague and I grabbed the first empty seats we could find in the spacious dining room, only to discover that we happened to have landed directly next to the mother of all power tables. Just a few feet from our elbows sat Bill himself, along with cool, confident daughter Chelsea (sporting a "Hillary '08" button); U2 guitarist The Edge; Elvis Costello and Diana Krall; Iman and Bowie; and wealthy producer (and Liz Hurley babydaddy) Steve Bing. Sadly, the room was too noisy for us to overhear what appeared to be an uproarious, non-stop banter session between our lofty neighbors, though we did catch a glimpse of proud new papa Costello showing Clinton some snapshots of his and Krall's infant twins.

Lots of pix of Bowie at the same event:

He looks fit and well, although increasingly like John Hurt.

There's more to life than books, you know, but not much more
Shoot me down in flames if you wish, but am I the only one disappointed to see Elvis living this back-slapping, celebrity ass-kissing lifestyle that he has embraced so enthusiastically these days? I'm a long time fan and know we all mellow as we get older, but i think I know what his younger self would of made of this years model, as it were...
