Terrell Owens has big birthday bash

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens had a lavish bash for his 31st birthday and his charity, T.O.'s Teddies for Kids.

The Monday night party at the Knowlton Mansion in Philadelphia lasted into Tuesday morning as football players mingled with Hollywood celebrities, reported WCAU-TV, Philadelphia.

Among the celebrities were Aisha Tyler, Gabriel Union, Tyrese and Vivica Fox as well as athletes Donovan McNabb, Jeremiah Trotter and Jon Ritchie.

"Hopefully I didn't fly across the country to be a wall flower," Tyler quipped as she walked a red carpet into the celebration.

Owens said the party was less about his birthday and more about his charity.
