Welcome to Robin’s hood, where VIPs flocked to La Pomme Rouge for Fox anchor Robin Robinson’s birthday party benefiting Clara’s House. “Dig deep in your pockets” for Clara’s House, the West Englewood shelter for abused women and their children started by Clara Kirk 20 years ago, urged Robinson. “Give cash, checks, money orders, IOUs. We trust you.” Flybys: Robin’s colleagues from Channel 32, including co-anchor Mark Suppelsa, former co-anchor Walter Jacobson and reporter Lilia Chacon, Channel 5’s LeeAnn Trotter, radio’s Richard Steele and Melody Spann Cooper, John and Sharon Rogers, singer Michelle Williams and Mesirow Financial’s Les Coney. White Sox GM Kenny Williams hit the dance floor, no doubt to shake off his sorrows. “Don’t ask him anything,” warned his wife, Jessica. We did, knowing that only hours earlier Williams had sent a fan favorite packing. “I’m not done yet,” he said of personnel changes.
