Hillary Clinton-- presidential candidate, New York Senator, and former First Lady-- will celebrate her 60th birthday in style, with a bash taking place October 25 at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. The celebration, which is also a fundraiser for her presidential campaign, will feature a performance by legendary English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello.

The party is being thrown by Hillary's husband, former President Bill Clinton, as well as New York Senator Chuck Schumer, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, and New York Congressman Charles Rangel.

Special guests are promised, and if last year's Bill Clinton 60th birthday celebration at the Beacon is any indication, they will probably be pretty high-wattage. (Bill's party featured a performance by the Rolling Stones with appearances from Buddy Guy, Jack White, and Christina Aguilera, and the whole thing was filmed by Martin Scorsese.)

We're guessing the evening will end with an all-star sing-along to "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding".

The event is open to the public and tickets are on sale now.

Elvis Costello is currently on tour with Bob Dylan, playing solo for the first time in over a decade.
