He’s going to paint the town for his birthday!
Rudy Giuliani is celebrating his 80th birthday this month with parties being thrown by pals in New York and Palm Beach, Page Six has learned — and the bashes come with a gift registry including everything from an electric razor and Giorgio Armani cologne to “stain-blocking ceiling paint” and a 55-inch TV.
The Manhattan party, we hear, will be at Midtown eatery Amata later this month, while the Palm Beach bash on Friday is being hosted by top GOP consultant Caroline Wren.
Giuliani’s birthday is May 28. Spies said that the bash on May 31 in NYC was originally going to be held at Empire Steakhouse, but moved to Amata either to accommodate more guests or for financial reasons, depending on who you ask.
Wren told us of the Palm Beach bash: “Rudy Giuliani is a hero, so it should be no surprise that so many of his friends, family and supporters want to come together to celebrate his 80 years of service to this great country.”
Another Florida guest said that the Palm Beach party Friday on Donald Trump’s home turf is the hottest ticket in town. “Everyone in Palm Beach wants to attend,” they said. “It’s like the ‘Hunger Games’ to try and get in!”
For the Palm Beach celebration, gold-and-black invitations were sent out via email to guests, featuring a photo of Giuliani in a tux and another of him wearing aviator shades and a USA hat.
The financially embattled former pol was recently suspended from his radio gig at WABC, The Post reported. He also put his Manhattan apartment on E. 66th St. back on the market for $5.7 million.
The price was a $400,000 reduction from the last time the property was listed.
The gift registry on Amazon sent out by pals and seen by Page Six specifies which gifts should be sent to his Manhattan or Palm Beach addresses.
A message told guests that gifts aren’t necessary, but if you wanted to give presents to refer to the Amazon registry.
The Amazon registry titled “Rudolph Giuliani… 80th birthday party, May 28, 2024,” shows that gifts already purchased for the former Trump advisor include — spoiler alert? — a home sleeper chair convertible bed, that ceiling paint, a Braun electric razor, LED chandeliers, a Shure microphone, a “cooling” comforter and an iPad.
If you’re looking to get Giuliani a gift, still up for grabs as of Thursday were numerous rugs — ranging from $229.90 to $516.21 — a document scanner, a podcasting mic boom, the Armani Acqua Di Giò spritz and a flat-screen TV worth $3,199.
Giuliani might be getting another, unwanted gift? Arizona officials are also reportedly trying to track him down over an indictment after prosecutors have reportedly tried for weeks without success to serve him in a case related to an alleged scheme to overturn election results in the state.
“There’s all sorts of articles and news about the fact that he’s dodging getting served,” an insider tells Page Six, pointing out the irony of the lawyer taking part in the ritzy fêtes.
Giuliani’s NYC home was first listed for $6.5 million last summer, but had a price reduction after three months. He has said he needs to keep his Palm Beach pad for podcasting purposes.
Giuliani recently exited his radio gig after a war of words with station owner John Catsimatidis. The billionaire has accused the host of insubordination and making unreasonable demands for increased airtime and compensation.
Last year, Giuliani filed for bankruptcy in the wake of a $148 million civil court ruling against him, and a mountain of legal bills.
The massive legal judgement stemmed from the case against Giuliani in Georgia by mother and daughter poll workers who sued him for defamation after he’d accused them of committing voter fraud during the 2020 election in Fulton County.
His lawyer said at the time that the ruling was “the civil equivalent of the death penalty” that would “be the end of Mr. Giuliani” if his appeals were to fail.
Spokesperson Ted Goodman told us in a statement with Giuliani of the birthday parties when we reached out for comment: “Friends of Mayor Rudy Giuliani — the man who took down the Mafia, locked up Wall Street’s biggest criminals, cleaned up New York City and comforted the nation following September 11th — are putting together a number of events in celebration of his great life and contributions to society.”
They added, “And make no mistake, the mayor will keep up with his vigorous work schedule, having two national livestream programs, ‘The Rudy Giuliani Show’ and ‘America’s Mayor Live,’ which stream live across his social media networks at 3:00 pm and 8:00 pm ET respectively.”
