Beyonce and Stevie Wonder rocked the White House at a star-studded, late-night dance party celebrating first lady Michelle Obama's 50th birthday, two guests told the Tribune on Sunday.
President Barack Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha joined family friends, elected officials, entertainers, athletes, business executives and big donors at the gala, which kicked off Saturday and lasted until the wee hours Sunday morning, the sources said.
The event was closed to the press, and the White House did not release a guest list or any other details. But two guests spoke to the Tribune on condition of anonymity, describing a bash at which a deejay kept people on the dance floor in the East Room until after 3 a.m. Washington time.
VIP guests, according to sources, included political luminaries Bill and Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, national security adviser Susan Rice, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker and Democratic National Committee official Donna Brazile.
Other high-profile guests included Sir Paul McCartney, Magic Johnson, Chicago-born actress/singer Jennifer Hudson, singer Janelle Monae, actor Kal Penn, TV personality Al Roker, actress Ashley Judd, tennis great Billie Jean King, retired Olympic figure-skater Michelle Kwan and Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, the sources said.

Sounnds like a communist convention.
And the court jesters attempted to amuse the queen.
Yes, this does sound like something from Pravda. 1977, or so. Extreme pomposity. Blatant elitism to the point of being offensive. There is little that Socialists and wanna be Royalists enjoy more than watching the impotent outrage of the working class citizenry.
The Queen and her Queer need to be overthown.
Between the really crappy music McCartney has been putting out for the last forty years (with one or two exceptions) and his cozying up to scum like the Obamas it’s getting really hard for me to retain any respect him.
What? no Wagyu beef? Cheapskates.
Bingo!
But of course, Obama is sooooooooooo concerned about “income inequality” when he throws all these lavish parties with his rich liberal pals.
But why bring her husband into this?
Is momma-the-leech still residing in the whitehut?
The invite was funny:
**Michelle Obama wanted guests to know that dinner would not be served at her 50th birthday party. But instead of adding “light refreshments” or “cocktails and hors d’oeurves” to the invitation, she went with a very straight forward note to “eat before you come” – EBYC, for short.**
