Butterstick Birthday Bash

"The birthday boy did not seem too impressed by all the attention, but by now, Tai Shan is used to the cameras, the faces, the "oohs" and "ahs." At his first birthday party yesterday, the celebrity panda cub was more interested in his presents -- a pool filled with ice water and a fruitsicle shaped like a giant cake -- than in the thousands of people who came to tell him how cute he is and how much he means to the National Zoo."

"'He's a rock star,' Chevy Chase lawyer Roger Goldman said after the cub's big photo op, when he wrestled his mother for part of the giant frozen treat. "He's like Mick Jagger or somebody.'"
