A TIPPING POINT FOR CHARITY

The Park City bar Rock & Reilly’s had some high profile help on Sunday _ Scooter Braun, manager to Justin Bieber and Psy.

Braun _ dressed in pajamas, like other servers _ poured shots, served up beers and more at the party, which was also attended by Mekhi Phifer and San Francisco Giants pitcher Brian Wilson.

Wilson was glued to the TV, cheering on the New England Patriots, playing the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game.

Meanwhile, Braun was getting his share of tips _ which went to the charity Pencils of Promise. To get more people to show the love, he pledged to match every donation, dollar for dollar.

Rock & Reilly’s is a Los Angeles bar that has opened up an outpost in Park City.
