Ron not invited to Bill’s big 65th

The bromance between Bill Clinton and Ron Burkle seems to be over. A rep for Clinton confirmed to us last night that Burkle “was not” invited and “isn’t attending” Bubba’s 65th birthday bash this weekend in Hollywood. The two-day gala features performances by Kenny Chesney, Lady Gaga, The Edge and Bono. Guests include Barbra Streisand, Aileen Getty, Berry Gordy, LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Ewan McGregor, Donna Karan, Stevie Nicks, Fergie, Felicity Huffman, Jane Fonda, Steve Bing and Patricia Arquette. Clinton left Burkle’s Yupaica and distanced himself from the billionaire during Hillary’s presidential campaign. However, a rep for Burkle insisted he was invited to Clinton’s shindig, and told us, “He [Burkle] was invited but he lives in London so he can’t make it. He donated to the event and his kids are attending.” He blasted Clinton’s rep’s claim as “silly,” adding “He received an invite in the mail and a phone call from (Clinton) close friend Mark Weiner.”
