Red Carpet Outtakes: Did Pete Rose Hire a Stylist?
Most of the stars we expected to be on the Indianapolis 500 Red Carpet today were (Howie Mandel, Olivia Newton-John, Gladys Knight, et al). Some we expected weren’t (Rick Springfield).
On the heels of their star turns in the 500 Festival parade today, celebrities in for the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing” took to the checkered carpet outside the Indiana Roof Ballroom. On the docket: the 2012 Snakepit Ball, with headlining performer Rick Springfield.
The stars aligned for the 500 Festival parade, which promised a fairly high celebrity quotient and did not disappoint. Floats and cars, bands and marchers—they all moved swimmingly along the route that started on Pennsylvania Street downtown, wounded around Washington Street and Monument Circle, and then proceeded up Meridian Street.
