Wyclef Jean and Mary J. Blige Headline Hope, Help & Relief Haiti's Inaugural Event
Since it opened last fall, the shenanigans at the club on the top floor of the Standard Hotel have become almost legendary. But last night, the goings-on were 100 percent guilt-free. That's because the event in question was an after-party for the Donna Karan-hosted Hope, Help & Relief Haiti benefit. If the dinner at Urban Zen was a staid affair (despite auctioneer Whoopi Goldberg's best efforts to the contrary), the atmosphere was celebratory at the Boom Boom Room, where the highlight of the night was a rousing concert by Wyclef Jean. "What needs to happen," he said, "is that we give people a good night now, so they can give a country that is in such a bad place what it needs." Just how good did it get? No less a superstar than Mary J. Blige joined Jean on stage for a duet.
Taking it all in was Rachel Zoe, who is working on Naomi Campbell's upcoming Haiti fundraiser. We asked the stylist how the two events would stack up. Diplomatically, she said, "It's a fun night now, but get ready for Friday. We're doing something very spectacular."
