Go Shorty! It's your Bat Mitzvah!

History will forever record Elizabeth Brooks' bat mitzvah as "Mitzvahpalooza."For his daughter's coming-of-age celebration last weekend, multimillionaire Long Island defense contractor David H. Brooks booked two floors of the Rainbow Room, hauled in concert-ready equipment, built a stage, installed special carpeting, outfitted the space with Jumbotrons and arranged command performances by everyone from 50 Cent to Tom Petty to Aerosmith.I hear it was garish display of rock 'n' roll idol worship for which the famously irascible CEO of DHB Industries, a Westbury-based manufacturer of bulletproof vests, sent his company jet to retrieve Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry from their Saturday gig in Pittsburgh.I'm also told that in honor of Aerosmith (and the $2 million fee I hear he paid for their appearance), the 50-year-old Brooks changed from a black-leather, metal-studded suit - accessorized with biker-chic necklace chains and diamonds from Chrome Hearts jewelers - into a hot-pink suede version of the same lovely outfit.The party cost an estimated $10 million, including the price of corporate jets to ferry the performers to and from. Also on the bill were The Eagles' Don Henley and Joe Walsh performing with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks; DJ AM (Nicole Richie's fiance); rap diva Ciara and, sadly perhaps (except that he received an estimated $250,000 for the job), Kenny G blowing on his soprano sax as more than 300 guests strolled and chatted into their pre-dinner cocktails."Hey, that guy looks like Kenny G," a disbelieving grownup was overheard remarking - though the 150 kids in attendance seemed more impressed by their $1,000 gift bags, complete with digital cameras and the latest video iPod.For his estimated $500,000, I hear that 50 Cent performed only four or five songs - and badly - though he did manage to work in the lyric, "Go shorty, it's your bat miztvah, we gonna party like it's your bat mitzvah."At one point, I'm told, one of Fitty's beefy bodyguards blocked shots of his boss performing and batted down the kids' cameras, shouting "No pictures! No pictures!" - even preventing Brooks' personal videographers and photographers from capturing 50 Cent's bat-miztvah moment."Fitty and his posse smelled like an open bottle of Hennessy," a witness told told me, adding that when the departing rapper prepared to enter his limo in the loading dock, a naked woman was spotted inside.[/b]

But Id be there in a second for $500,000!!!
However, I dont think its lending a very good image to Bat Mitzvah's.
Just like that conrad black: 20 mil bail aiight
So this is the kinda thing they had to arrange that little war to pay for???
No shit. Nothing worse than a flamboyantly rich multimillionaire defense contractor. Kill yourself please!
yeah, this shit saddens and disgusts me. excessively wealthy people have been flossing their excessive wealth in excessive ways forever. back in the ol' days, chiefs in pacific northwest tribes used to burn their ownings - just to show off that they could. bar & bat mitzvahs seem like the modern day version of that.

He's definitely lost in his own private mind garden...

Pumping for The Man.
ANN COULTER OR LADY SOV?
anyways...my mans and em did the lighting for this debauchle. your tax dollars at work...
That was so uncalled-for. Nobody needs to think about Ann-or-is-it-Dan Coulter naked in Fiddy's limo--or anywhere else, for that matter.
Further reinforcing my opinion that Aerosmith are the WORST BAND IN THE HISTORY OF RECORDED MUSIC.
Dude, you're just jealous.
Kennu G was at the party...
