Is Audrina Patridge ready to get wild?

Even though her modeling past includes racy nudie pics, it appears even a big-money offer from Girls Gone Wild svengali Joe Francis to do something similar for his T&A company isn’t enough to entice the Hills star.

Francis reportedly tried to talk business with Patridge at last night’s five-year anniversary party for Dolce restaurant in Los Angeles, but he didn’t get very far.

“Tell her I’m legit,” Francis was heard repeating to mutual friends.

The buzz over Patridge matched the intensity of a Jennifer Aniston arrival. The paparazzi outside couldn’t get enough shots of her and boyfriend Justin Bobby.

Jesse Metcalfe didn't seem to shy away from the spotlight—despite reports alleging he and some friends trashed a room at San Diego’s Ivy Hotel last week. The muscle-bound former Desperate Housewives star had dinner with girlfriend Courtney Robinson and three other female friends.

Ashton Kutcher, who hosted the celebration (he’s a co-owner of the eatery), kept things low-key, holding court in a corner banquette with Dolce partners Chris Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama.

Meanwhile, E! reality star Khloe Kardashian acted quickly when she found her table and realized her sister Kim’s ex, singer Ray J, was seated next to her and her posse.

“Thank God Kim wasn’t here,” Khloe said, before asking organizers to shuffle their seating chart.

Other boldfaced names at the Pama-sponsored fete included Matthew Perry, Sean Stewart, Evan Ross, Eric Balfour, Barron Hilton, and Stacy Keibler and boyfriend Geoff Stults.
