In an attempt to emulate the famous Marilyn Monroe - President John F. Kennedy birthday send up from the 1960s, Lady Gaga sang to former President Bill Clinton.

Clinton turned 65 on Aug. 19,  but celebrated his birthday with wife Hillary and daughter Chelsea in the front row throughout Saturday's event at the outdoor venue set against the Hollywood Hills.

Stars in attendance included Maria Bello, Jason Segel, Ellen DeGeneres, Colin Farrell and Chevy Chase.

"I am the only person in history who got to be President and then had a post-presidential birthday party attended by both Lady Gaga and the Secretary of State," Clinton joked on stage. "I want to thank Hillary because we met 40 years ago this year. When I met her, she was already doing the kind of work you see here long before it was cool."

Other performers included Motown legend Stevie Wonder, country star Kenny Chesney, Somali rapper K'Naan, Colombian crooner Juanes and R&B singer Usher.

Bono and The Edge of U2 closed the concert with a mostly acoustic set that included such tunes as "Desire," "One" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday," which Bono sang directly to Bill Clinton.
