Don Lemon has had plenty of issues to emphasize about these days, however his sixtieth birthday is not one in all them … he instructed us he is celebrating the milestone with the final word method to chill out!
The massive day is not till Sunday, however the journalist tells TMZ … he began the festivities Friday night time with a dinner at a pal’s home in Beverly Hills. Then, it is on to the NAACP Picture Awards tonight, the place he is being honored with 4 awards, adopted by dinner with husband Tim Malone.
And on the precise day? He tells us it’s going to be a “spa day in a seashore city.”
Cannot blame the man for wanting to simply chill. His birthday comes on the heels of him being named in a lawsuit by an alleged parishioner of The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota for allegedly disrupting a service final month.

Bear in mind … Lemon lined a protest at The Cities Church final month as demonstrators went to confront pastor David Easterwoodwho’s a Minneapolis ICE official. He ended up getting arrested and charged with federal crimes — to which he pleaded not responsible.
The lawsuit claims Don acted with the protesters and triggered the parishioner “extreme emotional misery, worry, anxiousness, and trauma.”
The Don Lemon Present
As we reported … Don insists he was merely exercising his First Modification proper as a reporter to doc the church demonstration, shining a light-weight on the occasion as a journalist, and later vowed to not be silenced.
TMZ obtained docs Friday, exhibiting 30 extra persons are being charged in relation to the protest.
