<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The big man of the Miami Heat had a big birthday party -- complete with indoor fireworks -- at Hard Rock Live on Saturday night. Hundreds of fans gathered outside and even more friends crammed inside the club at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino for the bash, thrown by 790 the Ticket and Ocean Drive Media Group, for Shaquille O'Neal's 35th birthday. Graciously arriving earlier than many guests, Shaq worked the crimson carpet, taking 15 minutes to walk just a few feet, garnering an impromptu Happy Birthday song from strangers. His better half, Shaunie, wore a black dress and honey-blond crimped hair. Rapper Ludacris performed for guests, with two hype men still rocking the cornrows Luda retired in '06. Unofficial Heat mascot ''Dancing Joe'' jammed onstage with the rapper, prompting a chorus of ''Go Grandpa!'' from guests. Surely, the free-flowing Moet encouraged that.</div> Source
