You hear a lot about Phyllis McGuire when you live in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas resident is the youngest of the singing trio of sisters who had lots of hits back in the 50s. Thanks to ridding piggy back on Hilton headliner Barry Manilow, McGuire is currently on the top of the charts again, probably, for the first time since the Eisenhower Administration. On Manilow's number one album "Greatest Songs of the Fifties," McGuire has a guest spot with a duet on a cover of the McGuire Sisters' signature hit "Sincerely."

But in Las Vegas Phyllis McGuire is best known for her philanthropy and her extraordinary social network. A recent example of the former was the $1 million she donated to Keep Memory Alive to help build the Frank Gehry designed research center (previously written about on the Buffet). Of the latter, Norm reports that on Friday McGuire hosted a little get together at her place where the guest list included boxing promoter Bob Arum and web legend Matt Drudge.
