Destiny's Child and Justin Timberlake to perform at bar mitzvah

[Atlas Mugged]

Sorry! I just thought the headline was hysterical. As a total waste of money, and a sterling example of overindulgence, on the other hand...

British retail billionaire Philip Green has reportedly hired Destiny's Child to perform at his son's bar mitzvah -- a three-day event on the French Rivera.

Singer Justin Timberlake might also perform at the event this weekend, the Times of London reports.

1. Not a waste if your kids like it.

But this guy is spending some major dough. I wouldn't mind goin to this party.

2. This is appalling...

It is not supposed to be about the party. It is supposed to be about the whole religious rite of passage. Unfortunately, somewhere down the road, the religion part got forgotten about.

I am in the middle of planning my son's Bar Mitzvah (Feb 2006) and then my daughter's Bat Mitzvah will be 2 years later. It is all about upstaging, or at least competing with, all the other parties going on. We are on a very tight budget and have been floored by how much the simplest things wind up costing. For example, one photographer we contacted wanted close to 3000 just to come and take pictures and give us a 20 page album. It is absurd. Needless to say, we're not using him.

If he has that much disposable income to burn, why doesn't he put it to better use than a party. :grr:
