Gimme 'Sheed!

November 6, 2009 03:39 PM

Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen G. Pagliuca is holding a fund-raiser Monday night with a list of sponsors that any Massachusetts voter could be proud of. Bold-faced names include Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Doc Rivers.

But Pagliuca, known as Pags around the Garden, owns the darn team. So we have to ask: Can't he get the entire roster? Is Rasheed Wallace quietly voting for Martha Coakley? Does Kevin Garnett have a political affection for Alan Khazei?

Among the sponsors of the event is Glen Davis, who was involved in a recent brawl that left him with a broken thumb that will require surgery and sideline him for several months. A Pagliuca spokesman confirmed that they were sticking with Davis for the fund-raiser, which is at the Lansdowne Pub and costs $100 a person.

Meanwhile, as Pagliuca is partying with the Celtics, US Representative Michael Capuano is having an “Open Mike” Monday with his own celebrity: Capuano’s nephew, the actor Chris Evans, will be making an appearance. Evans starred in the movies “Fantastic Four” and “Push.” The campaign hinted there will be “another special guest who is no stranger to public life or political activism.”
