Fairmont Royal York to Host Clinton Bash

Where: 100 Front St. W, Toronto, ON, Canada, M5JIE3

Page Six reports today that the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto will be the sight of former president Bill Clinton's 60th birthday bash on September 9 even though his actual bday is next week.

The September bash coincides with the Toronto film festival which has some peeved that Clinton will "steal the thunder" with his high-profile party.

The main Toronto event is a Sept. 9 gala at the Fairmont Royal York spearheaded by Vancouver money man Frank Giustra. "This is the high-Celsius ticket," National Post columnist Shinan Govani told Page Six. "Billy Crystal doing the jokes, Sarah McLachlan providing the tears, Chelsea Clinton planting the tribute." Tim McGraw and Lenny Kravitz will also perform.

When we do our review of places to stay during the Toronto Film Festival we will probably leave this one off the list. You can't have any fun with all those dang Secret Service men around.
