Kevin Jonas celebrated his 25^th birthday in style this week at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City: he and wife Danielle visited the venue’s Fornelletto Cucina & Wine Bar, took in a Wanda Sykes show and grooved to Jermaine Dupri tunes at MIXX nightclub.

Who knew a Jonas Brother could party quite so heartily?

Meanwhile, Padma Lakshmi helped ensure that Hurricane Sandy victims get back on their feet — with a donation of 15,000 pairs of shoes.
