‘Happy Birthday, Russell!’

CELEBRATING FOR CHARITY: Michelle Kennedy, left, Jason Ulep, second from left, and Juliet Lighter congratulated celebrity photographer Russell Tanoue, the host and guest of honor Saturday at his "Angels on the Rocks" birthday party at the Ocean Club. Tanoue produces the annual party as a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society and Project Shine, a personal non-profit program that uses the magic of photography to boost the spirits of cancer survivors and victims of domestic violence. Anita Hall and dancers from Ulep's Hypersquad Dance Company were featured entertainers. Tanoue returns to the Ocean Club on July 30 when the Piranha Room introduces a new theme with "Ocean Drive."

IN FROM LAS VEGAS: Alvin Yeh flew in from Vegas for the big event. His girlfriend, Michelle Kennedy, introduced him to her friends, sisters and mother, who also attended the party. Kelly Hu sent a video of congratulations. Two local television stations produced fake news stories as their contribution to the festivities.

IT'S COLD IN HERE!: Donna Chun was feeling chilly so Ash Tsuji gave her a hug. Tsuji stopped by with Jimi Wheeler after they got out of rehearsals for Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" at Diamond Head Theatre. The show opens tonight.

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: Kaitlyn Metcalf, right, met designer Chelsea Gines, and her mother, Jo Dee Gines of Pink C. Metcalf's mother, Jane Metcalf, also attended the party, and exercised her prerogative to wear a color other than angel white -- always-fashionable black.

SIDNEY AND THE GUYS: Sidney Louie, front, partied with Michael Lunde, left, Travis Hanakahi and Ben Martino. Louie is handling public relations tasks for the Hawaii Shakespeare Festival, which continues tomorrow with "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Midsummer's Night Dream."
