Parties You Will Never Get Into

This Year’s Sundance party was held at Park City, Utah January 21, 2010. As expected, the event planners whipped up several mind blowing accommodations for the festival goers to enjoy. First, there was Oakley’s “Learn to Ride” program, where a few of Hollywood’s top A-listers take the roles of snowboarders and skiers and get to dress the part too. The celebrities sported Oakley snow pants, hoodies, goggles and even lip balms for this event. To give these celebrities some help learning the sport were a few Olympic medalists and pro riders including Zach Leach, Danny Kaas, Gretchen Bleiler, and even Shaun White.

In addition to that, the Sundance Festival line up also included the annual Village at the Yard, which was held at another location; the Kearns Boulevard. This year’s festival goers enjoyed several of their perennial favorites such as the T-Mobile Diner, the Parish Nation, and the FredSegalFun.com Style Lounge.

The Village at the Yard also prepared a little something to surprise this year’s Sundance event goers. In addition to these long-time favorites, a Sephora gifting suite was also set up. Sephora’s beauty team had given complementary touch ups to the event’s celebrity guests. Apart from the touch ups, these celebrities also enjoyed piling up on several Sephora goodies.

Nintendo also made its presence known at the Main Street’s Island Def Jam House of Hype, as it brought its Wii Fit Plus workout game to the yard. Popping up in the midst of the Sundance buzz was the coolest of cool vapor water and green tea shots from Arizona Beverages, while people who needed a different kind of caffeine dose enjoyed free coffee from Café Bustelo.

These are only some of the activities that kept festival goers occupied this year. The Sundance Festival 2010 was a big hit, and for those who have missed it or haven’t gotten enough of it yet, they can always head back to the village next year.

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.”
