Showtime For Bill Clinton At The Apollo

October 1, 2007 at 8:45 AM | 0 Comments

When MTV offers to throw you a party, you don't say no. That's why Bill Clinton spent his Saturday night fundraising at New York's Apollo Theater with Shakira, Bono, Wyclef Jean and Chris Rock.

The former president has been on tour to promote his new book Giving and the Clinton Global Initiative, a series of summits of world leaders on various topics. Stars talked about their nonprofit work, and then performed for a sold-out crowd.

Alas, Clinton didn't break out his saxophone and jam. But among the donations announced was a $300 million bounty which will be awarded to the designer of a car that gets 100 miles to the gallon. Such a ride would get you from the Apollo to the White House on just 2.5 gallons of gas.
