Memorial Sloan Makes Memories

Memorial Sloan Kettering's second annual spring ball took up residence in the Plaza Hotel tonight and New York's social set came out to show its support. Even during this busy season, the event is undisputedly one of the city's biggest remaining galas before Memorial Day. Boldface names from the peacock network were out in force, not surprising given that Caryn Zucker, wife of NBC president Jeff Zucker, was one of the event's co-chairs. In addition to the Zuckers, other NBC Universal personalities in attendance included Natalie Morales, Hoda Kotb, Melissa Francis and Tiki Barber. But you did not have to be on the NBC payroll to enjoy the highlight of the night, a performance by R&B singer Macy Gray.

Why Jon Bon Jovi's a Good Sport

They don't call them The Fighting Irish for nothing. Tonight, Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis and his wife, Maura, will host the Hannah and Friends benefit, a charity named for their daughter, and which is devoted to assisting individuals with special needs. Weis has wrangled some of the biggest names in football to generate buzz and dollars, including Tiki Barber, Bill Belichick, Antonio Pierce, Jesse Armstead, Mark Bavaro, Sean Landeta, Brady Quinn, John Carlson, Anthony Fasano and Tom Zbikowski, all of whom will be in attendance at this evening's St. Patrick's Day-themed gala. Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has agreed to do a special performance during the fund-raiser. And though we have not been able to get a hold of his set list, we'll cry foul if he doesn't sing "Livin' On a Prayer" and "Runaway."
