With the Vanity Fair party canceled, Elton John's Party was the place to be!

He throws the ultimate Oscar viewing party.  He passes out ballots to everyone.  You make your picks & the winner gets some over-the-top prize.  But who cares about prizes when you're rubbing shoulders with celebrities, watching Elton John perform at the piano like he's in your living room... with Mary J Blige!  Prince never did show up (but some of his dancers did).   He was throwing his own party though.

So who looked gorgeous?  Paz Vega & Heidi Klum took my breath away.  Heidi changed out of her beautiful red gown (that she wore at the Kodak) and wore a short white & silver number.  Talk about party dress!  She was smokin & I'm sorry I have to photos here. :)

Ok, I'm sure you've heard enough about fashion & dresses.  Let's get to the dirt.  I love behind the scenes gossip. :)

Sean Penn breezed by us & didn't even give a wave - shocker.  We have shots of him sitting inside with Petra Nemcova getting cozy... hmm...  He did just break up with Robin Wright....

I held an Oscar for the first time!  An Oscar winner was kind enough to let me hold it.  It was heavy as everyone says. 

Herbie Hancock was there just proud as a peach.  This is his year!   Petra Nemcova and I had a moment.  She admired my dress because wee were both in yellow.  Mine was Banana Republic though, & hers was custom Versace or Narisco Rodriguez.  She is stunning up close.  I yelled to Stevie Wonder & told him I love him.  He loves me too if you were wondering. :)

One of my favorite parts is listening to the auction hosted by Sharon Stone.  She knows how to milk people.  I sit in awe as the amounts go from ten, to twenty, to fifty thousand dollars for trips, art, jewelry... Must be nice.

Normally they have buckets of ice water & soda sitting out for us, but Elton's waitstaff brought us Evian & Red Bull on trays.  When the carpet closed for the show, they brought us out pizza.  I was rejoicing.  Sure, uests dined on steamed sole, canapes & tiny scrumptious chocolate desserts inside - but we didn't buy the tickets and - when you're hungry, you are hungry!  I had a slice of hawaiian pizza. A big one with canadian bacon and pineapple. 

Did you notice it was a gold carpet?  I matched it.  There was serious camoflauge action happening.  Thank goodness for the plum drapes.  Oh wait.  I had on plum shoes.  How big of a fashion faux pas is that?  Oh wait, lots of celebs wore red on the red carpet.  Nevermind.  Loved the red trend btw.

If you saw my story on the air, Mario the bouncer gave a little wave.. remember him?  He's awesome by the way.   If I ever need protection Mario is my back up.  We're bff now.  (Best friends forever.)  We were hanging out at the party!  Go to my photo album for photos!
