Yes, the easygoing Abercrombie rock of Guster made Central Park the prime spot (aside from Brother Jimmy's) for college honeys and white hats on Tuesday night, but it was Rufus Wainwright and Ben Folds whose duet of Wham's "Careless Whisper" made it worth the $45 tickets alone. Other notable moments: Rufus brought out his mom, sis and bro for perfect renditions of "One Man Guy" and a cover of "Over the Rainbow." (Rufus doing a Judy Garland cover must rank a solid 99 on the Gay-O-Meter, not that there's anything wrong with that.) Ben Folds followed with his crowd-as-horn-section schtick, which worked nicely on "Army" and "Not the Same." And the 10 p.m. curfew for Central Park concerts still blows.

B-list celeb sighted in the crowd: Jeff Garlin, the big guy who plays Larry David's manager on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." And according to this Q&A, Rufus wanted to name the tour "Odd Men Out." The triple-threat is back onstage tonight for another round.

Meanwhile, Ben Folds is teaming up with William Shatner to help his Priceline buddy record a new album, and he's also doing a cover of the Darkness's "Get Your Hands Off My Woman." Hell yeah.
