Little Diddy Turns Sixteen

Justin Dior Combs has recently turned sixteen. His dad, who happens to be Sean “Diddy” Combs, has once again gone out of his way to throw his son the biggest bash of the year in an effort to show how much love he has for his oldest, Justin. Apart from having a rapper dad, Justin Dior’s mother is also a well renowned stylist, Misa Hylton.

Just like in an old Hollywood fairy tale, Justin Dior’s 16th birthday bash was attended by several big Hollywood A-listers. The party’s guest list included Chris Brown, Lil Kim, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, as well as the famous boxer Floyd Mayweather. The star-studded crowd celebrated Justin’s 16th on January 23 at the M2 Ultralounge club, one of New York’s most banging clubs.

And just like most dads all P.Diddy wants is the best for his son, which may be the reason why the party became one of the year’s top birthday celebrations. Justin Dior’s big birthday bash was themed “Prince of New York.” The big event was filmed for one of MTV’s reality series, My Super Sweet 16.

Although Justin did have a star-studded guest list, it seems like he won’t be receiving any birthday presents from any of them for this year. Instead of bringing birthday gifts, his dad asked them to send donations to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.

According to a New York Post source, the M2 Ultralounge was adorned with images taken from the New York Skyline. Aside from performing for his son, P.Diddy bought him a brand new $360,000 silver Maybach. As if that weren’t enough, P.Diddy also gave his son a $10,000 cheque to start his own bank account. However, instead of accepting it, the birthday boy chose to add his gift money to the amount of donations for the earthquake victims in Haiti.

Partying with the Aussies

This year’s Australian Vogue Party at Fox Studios was one of the best shindigs in all of 2009. And how could it not be? After all, 2009 marked the 50th successful year for Vogue Australia.

The party was a great success. The fact that Audrey Wilder Sang and Jenny Kee twirled around with glee were signs that the party was an absolute blast. It was one of the simplest ways to sum up the magazine’s opulent celebration. The iconic designer, Jenny Kee, had taken the stage in a burst of colors, commencing the glamorous festivities.

But before the guests, of whom there were around 700, had witnessed the impromptu podium dancing, they were greeted upon their arrival at the studio’s soundstage by none other than the chief executive officer of News Limited himself, John Hartigan. Along with the News Limited CEO came a charged line-up of male models and Kirstie Clements, the classy editor in chief of Vogue Australia.

Upholding Vogue’s superior standards, the party served the guests—all 700 of them—a magnum of Moet and Chandon while they were prettily seated in King Furniture. So far, Vogue standards on this side of the globe have never failed to anyone’s wildest expectations. It comes as a small surprise that the company has gone through 50 years of success and glamour.

The guest list in itself was one of the main reasons the party was so brilliant. Parties seldom become boring when the likes of Cate Blanchett, Megan Gale, Miranda Otto, and Collette Dinnigan are in attendance. In addition to that bunch, the who’s who of Australian fashion were also found present at the event. These included Kit Willow, Jayson Brundson, Lydia Pearson and cover girls Abbey Lee (who were all dressed in Max Azria), and Nicole Trunfio (who was clad in Louis Vuitton).

MacDella Cooper Foundation Fashion Week After Party

MacDella Cooper, the humanitarian from New York who is also known as “Liberia’s Angel,” revealed her plans for the MCF Academy in Liberia that she carried out with the support of the MacDella Cooper Foundation and her committee of luminaries of media, fashion, and design. She said that the plans would be primarily about the establishment of the first tuition-free school for the less fortunate children in Liberia.

On the final night of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York, the MacDella Cooper Foundation Fashion Week After Party planned to raise $500,000 for the MCF Academy, which will open next year.

“Having escaped the brutality of a decade-long civil war in Liberia myself, I know firsthand that Liberia desperately needs a new generation of empowered, educated individuals to continue its recovery,” said Cooper, who is also the president of the MacDella Cooper Foundation.

The After Party had Winka Dubbeldam’s (the architect for the Academy) designs for the institution. It also had an exclusive Fall 2009 Collection screening by famous fashion designer Korto Momolu, an appearance by a Project Runway Season five finalist as well as a keynote speech by the chief executive officer of Women’s Wholesale at Jones Apparel Group, Susan Metzger. Cocktails were served that night filled with dancing and tunes from DJ Dusko.

Some of the hosts for the MacDella Cooper Foundation Fashion Week After Party were: Interview magazine’s publisher Samantha Fennell, New York Post columnist Julia Szabo, Ralph Lauren Corporate Sonya Pankey, The Rachel Ray Show’s designer Evette Rios, CESLIE-The Women’s Network’s editor-in-chief Ceslie Armstrong and Lifetime Networks’ Barbara Brennan.

Among the honorary chairs of the event were Krystyna Houser, a dedicated sponsor to one of the many academic facilities on the MacDella Cooper Foundation Academy, and Donna Poyaidjais.

What Went Down at New York Fashion Week

First off, before the party-hopping started, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held a celebration of the new retrospective of Ron Arad. The event was hosted by fashion model Linda Evangelista and was attended by some of the most prominent names in the fashion industry: Rachel Zoe, Anouk Lepere, Yigal Azrouël, and Franca Sozzani. They had the chance to get into culture, and probably on the front page by the next day, just before going to back to back parties.

Recording artist and live performer Lady GaGa—who is known for having unique and eccentric live performances topped with her crazy outfits—was performing at the Out magazine’s bash at the Box. It was the third consecutive night that she performed live at the venue. Apparently, an insider said they were only really short sets.

Coco Before Chanel
premiered that night on September 16th. It gave the New York crowd the chance to settle down and, for the ladies, to rest their feet from wearing those inches-high stilettos for a few hours. Among those who attended the debut of the film were Agyness Deyn, Charlie Rose, Candice Bergen, and Rachel Bilson. And they most certainly enjoyed the party right after the screening.

Lindsay Lohan & Taylor Momsen

Lindsay Lohan & Taylor Momsen

At the G-Star’s show, platinum blonds rising star Taylor Momsen and singer-model-actress Lindsay Lohan (aka LiLo) were spotted at the event huddling together and enjoying the event. Vanity Fair dubbed them as the “Front-Row Doppelgangers” that night.

Finally, Fashion Week would not have been as great as it was if it weren’t for the backing of a Roitfeld, which was proven by Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld who hosted a party for high fashion designer Giorgio Armani that sponsored a Richard Hambleton show. Just a few of the attendants who were excited about the artwork were actor Josh Hartnett, Mary-Kate Olsen, queens of R&B Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Bar Rafaeli. After the exhibition, they went to Indochine, where the party continued until the early hours.

Burberry Celebrates Homecoming and end of London Fashion Week

That night at Horseferry House, the Burberry head-quarters, was flowing with Snow Leopard vodka cocktails and Champagne as the Burberry chief executive officer Angela Ahrendts and creative director Christopher Bailey invited celebrity friends and fashionistas to celebrate its homecoming and end of the London Fashion Week.

Following its glamorous show of color and high fashion outfits, Bailey proposed a toast to 25 years of London Fashion with his invited guests. Some of these include Harry Potter franchise star Emma Watson, Lord of the Rings co-star Liv Tyler, singer-actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz, Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham, Agyness Deyn, Alexa Chung, Mary-Kate Olsen and Erin O’Connor. Slumdog Millionaire’s Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were seen being intimate with each other as they held hands entering the party.

The Burberry fashion house went all out as it offered five types of classic cocktails, with bottles of Moet and Chandon champagne filling every empty glass in sight. Aside from having these drinks, the party, which was held in Westminster, London, also had a stream of canapés such as mini Welsh rarebits, fish pies, bite-sized burgers and even little Yorkshire pudding swirls with horseradish and beef.

The live performance of The Kooks kept the crowd on their feet, then Deyn and Chung were taking turns on the DJ’s deck in playing for a dance floor that was jam-packed with prominent figures in the entertainment, film and fashion business. Bailey, who was wearing a white blazer, was even spotted making shapes before the marble dance floor were owned by two models who attempted to do some freestyle break dancing.

When the 80s sound of Take On Me by new wave band A-ha had reached its outro, the crowd disbanded late in the evening, with every event participant on a natural high as the London Fashion Week came to a close.

A Chic Christmas at the Boom Boom Room

Vogue never fails to impress. Year after year, it brings together people like Hamish Bowles, Grace Coddington, Virginia Smith, and Jeffrey Steingarten into one big bash no one would easily forget.

Vogue’s annual holiday shindig happened on a Wednesday night in Standard Hotel’s well known eighteenth floor, the Boom Boom Room. As the temperatures went down, the merry revelers gathered around the bar poised at the center of the glamorous space. The room was filled with bartenders clad in white jackets and serving glasses of Moët for everyone.

Apart from the free-flowing champagne, the place itself was a reason to feel festive. The Boom Boom Room’s windows, which stretched from floor to ceiling, offer a view of New York City’s breathtaking skyline. Although the place didn’t really need more embellishments, several people had taken the time and extra effort to dress up the place in order to suit the Christmas theme. A white peacock was placed as a finishing touch to the Christmas tree while mistletoe twigs hung from the room’s ceiling.

A bunch of New York A-listers along with Vogue writers, editors, assistants and all the people behind the magazine’s glossy pages indulged themselves in spirited conversation and drinks. The party served as one of perfect excuses to mix vibrant fashion, great drinks, celebrities and bona fide stylistas and tastemakers.

Aside from the much awaited party thrown by Vogue, the eighteenth floor of the Standard Hotel had served as a venue to celebrate the launching of Sasha Lazard’s “Myth of Red” concert series. The promising songstress had celebrated the launch of her concert series along with other fellow musicians including John Mayer, Maggie Rizer and P. Diddy himself.

While the guests of the Vogue Christmas party were served magnums of champagne by white-jacketed bartenders, the party frolickers of the Myth of Red Party were served with unlimited Bang Bang cocktails, the evening’s drink of choice.

New Moon Premier After Party in LA

The second installment of the vampire love story movie called New Moon may be about a love triangle, but on its premiere night after party, it was all about the couples.

After the screening of the sequel to Twilight, cast members from the movie, as well as their fans, headed to Los Angeles, California’s Hammer Museum.

Comedian Jamie Kennedy and singer-Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt were at the party, which was Italian-themed to signify its affirmation to the New Moon Volturi scenes that were shot in Volterra, Italy.

A fellow attendee of the event said that Kennedy and Hewitt “were holding hands and walking around, they kept to themselves for the most part.”

“They looked like they were having a good time,” added the attendee.

There was also another group of co-stars who were said to be delighted to be part of the event. Cast members of the new musical television series Glee Lea Michele and Mark Salling were reported to have attended the gathering. The two were seen giggling and whispering to each other, and seemed to be flirting despite Michele’s representative reiterating that the two were not in any kind of relationship.

Since the party had an Italian theme, the food served was also Italian. The party served CRUMB Bake Shop Twilight-themed cupcakes, which were served by caterers who wore red cloaks. The venue’s outside terrace was designed with extra plant decorations and red lanterns that were hung from tree branches, mimicking the Forks forests where the movie was shot.

The main stars of the movie, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, were said to have gone to the VIP area right after Pattinson and Stewart tried to avoid discussing the current status of their relationship. However, according to another source, the two young celebrities “didn’t hang out at the party.”

The Bacardi Blast is Back in India!

Bacardi is good at keeping promises. The popular spirits brand promised to bring a never-heard-before musical experience to India by reviving the country’s largest and wildest music festival known as the Bacardi Blast. The musical festivities took place on December 19 and 20 at the Panjim Gymkhana at Panjim Goa.

The Blast was not just a concert, but an eight-hour musical experience. Senses were stimulated by a mix of music, visual graphics, sound effects, and a hi-definition LED display on-stage. The entertainment was expounded upon by the availability of several Bacardi beverages being churned out at bars, pool tables, face painters and tattoo artists.

The event was distinguished by a large illuminated balloon that rested 100 feet in the sky, enabling Blast-goers to locate the venue easily. The Blast brought in about 8,000 partiers who were set to enjoy acts from Chicane, Faithless All Star’s Sister Bliss with Sudha on percussion, DJs from the Ministry of Sound, London including DJ Ivan, and many others. There were also live musical performances from B.L.O.T. (Basic Love of Things) and Lost Stories, to name a few.

Arvind Krishnan of Bacardi Martini India Limited boasts that the festival was back and better than ever. The Blast was positioned as the perfect way to kick start the New Year by bringing together the best international acts in the dance and music space as a celebration.

2009 Screen Actor’s Guild After Party

The Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) after party is a gathering and an awards ceremony for the best performing actors in the entertainment business. Its after party was sponsored this year by Grey Goose Vodka and People Magazine, which took pride in the lineup of celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who came to the affair.

However, the couple did not stay too long as they needed to attend to their kids. Speaking of kids, Ireland, the daughter of Best Actor Alec Baldwin, was also there. Baldwin and his daughter were at the party tent that was next to the Shrine Auditorium and they were giggling and whispering to each other.

Meryl Streep was also there with her daughter and son, leaving them once for a brief moment to greet former Saturday Night Live cast member and 30 Rock co-star Tina Fey with a big hug. The award winning actresses of 30 Rock and Doubt fussed over each other for a few minutes. Amy Poehler, Fey’s fellow SNL cast member and a co-star in the movie Baby Mama, attended the party together with her husband Will Arnett.

Cast members from other television shows and award-winning flicks such as Slumdog Millionoaire, The Office and Entourage were at the event, enjoying the party and the company of fellow actors.

Couples Jon Hamm (from Mad Men) and Jennifer Westfeld were at the SAG awards ceremony, but Westfeld was nowhere to be found at the party. Insiders said Hamm was looking a little bit aloof and spent his night smoking and drinking alone.

Other celebrity pairs who showed up at the after party were Jerry Ferrera (co-star of the TV series Entourage) and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Ryan Pier Williams and America Ferrera (star of Ugly Betty) and Claire Danes and partner Hugh Dancy.

Harvey Weinstein and wife Georgina Chapman, and Jeremy Piven (the “Ari Gold” of Entourage) and a younger blond, also made their way to the celebration.

A Quick Recap of the Bruno Premiere After Party

The premiere after party of the comedy movie Bruno was definitely a night to remember as there were many celebrities who attended the event in their most fashionable suits and cocktail dresses.

The guests were composed of the funniest figures in entertainment, like David Arquette, who was with his wife and former F.R.I.E.N.D.S. star, Courtney Cox-Arquette. Jonah Hill, one of the associate producers of Bruno, Matt Stone, creator of the hit adult cartoon show South Park, Aziz Ansari, Andy Samberg and Christopher Mintz-Plasse also made their presence felt. Former Guns ‘n Roses guitar player Slash Hudson, actor Gary Shandling and Borat’s Ed Helms and Ken Davitian attended the party as well. The homecoming king and host of the event was none other than the man behind Bruno and Borat, Sacha Baron Cohen, who was with his fiancé and “Confessions of a Shopaholic” star Isla Fisher.

Although some of the guests were in cocktail dresses and suits, it was largely a dress down event. The man of the hour, Sacha Baron Cohen, wore a blazer and a baseball cap while Andy Samberg was in a hipster flannel. Ed Helms was dressed in a sweater and Matt Stone was only wearing shirt and jeans.

The party was surrounded by the sounds of the late legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson, with the DJ spinning “I Want You Back” and “PYT”, but it was the song “Wanna Be Starting Something” that made the guest rush down to the dance floor.

And of course, the food served was simply delicious. There were sushi in cups, a hotdog bar with a large selection of mustard, a big bowl of sauerkraut and chocolate mousse pies. These finger foods were then matched with the usual beer and cocktails that were poured endlessly for all the guests.
