Charlie the Tuna Turns 50

Charlie the Tuna 50th Birthday - Former "Bachelorette" Jillian Harris stopped by the WPIX studios this morning with her new "older man," Charlie the Tuna. StarKist is commemorating its Iconic Spokes-Tuna's 50th Birthday with a Celebration in New York City's Times Square. Harris and Charlie will co-host the birthday festivities on Military Island in Times Square from 11AM-4PM on today. Consumers will have the opportunity to interact with the beloved icon and reality star through exciting games, free giveaways and photo opportunities. Charlie won't be the only one getting a smooch at his 50th celebration: fans will have the chance to make their best "fish-kiss" pucker, to be projected on the famous New York City Reuters JumboTron. For every "fish-kiss" photo snapped, StarKist will make a donation to the American Heart Association (with a maximum donation of $10,000).
