Talk about Hollywood nights-was this ever! I began the day at the Independent Spirit Awards after-party at Shutters on the beach in Santa Monica. It was great to see people like John Hamm of “Mad Men,” Jennifer Westfeldt, lil’ Mary Kate Olson, Padma Lakshmi, and Michael Bolton. But the real star power came later that night.
After briefly refueling at Wolfgang’s Steakhouse in Beverly Hills, it was off to the Weinstein Company’s pre-Oscar soiree at the Andaz West Hollywood in the penthouse high above the Sunset Strip. I chatted and giggled with the creme de la creme of Hollywood, including Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony, fashion designer Valentino, Robert De Niro, Harvey Weinstein, Leonardo Di Caprio, Mickey Rourke, Kerry Washington, Anne Hathaway, and Victoria Beckham, just to name a few. Guests were enjoying flutes of Moet & Chandon Champagne and Stella Artois Beer. Beautiful people, great conversation, and lovely libations all made for the perfect Hollywood party.
