H'wood Party Girl

RSVPs:  Owen Wilson, Nicky Hilton and Leonardo DiCaprio
Where:  Boulevard3, Hollywood
When:  Nov. 14

At the recent grand opening of Boulevard3, Little Bo Peep strutted her stuff around the dance floor with a real-live sheep. Totally weird, right? Hopefully, this time at the club, at the Samsung BlackJack kickoff, I'll see only party animals out for fun.  

No animals yet except for Pharrell groupies on the prowl, as he's headlining. But with Jimmy Kimmel hosting this cell phone bash, you never know. 

When the late-night host shows up on the red carpet with girlfriend Sarah Silverman, he tells reporters how the couple keeps their relationship alive: "Gay male pornography. It's thrilling for both of us." Somewhere, a publicist is clenching a stress ball. If not watching gay male pornography.

The usual Hollywood wildlife is soon clogging the place. Nicky Hilton claims a prime spot near the entrance, with Brandon Davis and Bijou Phillips. Bijou's clearly having much more fun than she did at last week's drama-free Helio Drift-wood fete, now that she's reunited with her party-lifer pals. The gambling theme and pseudo-Vegas decor (tied to the BlackJack phone, see?) also seem to be attracting a somewhat more mature crowd, from his royal highness Clive Owen to retro-delish dish Luke Perry.

By the fireplace on the club patio, young girls keep warm on velvet cushions by ogling Jesse Metcalfe. I'm over the former Housewives gardener, so I beeline it for the cabanas to meet Melrose from America's Next Top Model. She tells me she designed all the clothes she's wearing. Impressive! The most hated contestant on cycle seven of the show then says that to be fashionable, you must  have a fur accessory this winter. Kimberly Stewart seems to be taking Melrose's advice. Rod's daughter perches near a fountain in a fur-trimmed knit sweater, sporting blond braided locks that make her look like some kind of mod Goldilocks. Maybe Little Bo Peep will  stop by again after all?

Eric Dane, sans beautiful wife Rebecca Gayheart, downplays the drama on the set of Grey's Anatomy. "I have to remember, it's just a show," he says. Uh, yeah, just a top-ten show where a couple stars reportedly tried to choke each other. Speaking of fallings-out, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz is also at the bash, still insisting he's just BFF with Ashlee Simpson. But he smartly avoids any chance of a spectacle by keeping his distance from Ashlee's ex  Ryan Cabrera.  

A hostess with an orchid above her ear offers cherry tomatoes stuffed with curry chicken salad. They're a little spicy, but I'm just thankful they're not the miniburgers and grilled cheese I saw up front. I know comfort food is, like, so Hollywood right now, but it's a waistline killer. I prefer comfort drink, so I head to the bar. I decide against the BlackJack Knockout—a mixture of Remy VSOP, Cointreau, cranberry and pineapple—and instead settle on a BlackJack Bubbly, a pink concoction of champagne and Remy VSOP. Yum!

Around 11 p.m., I nab a prime spot by the stairs to catch Pharrell's performance. To my right, Entourage dude Kevin Connolly checks out his new Samsung with two buddies. Like the guy really needs another phone.  

All of a sudden, my publicist pal  Enjoli taps my shoulder. "Is that Leo?" she asks, pointing toward Kevin's corner. I see a guy in a baseball cap who resembles Leonardo DiCaprio, only 20 pounds heavier. "No way. Leo's much skinnier." But Enjoli won't let it go. She insists it's Mr. Titanic, so I step down to the dance floor to get a better look. The minute I catch his glistening baby blues, I realize she's right. Whoa! Leo may be packing on the pounds to play Teddy Roosevelt for Martin Scorsese, but I miss the old Romeo. Sometimes less really is more. 

It's a good thing Kevin's amping up his cred by hanging with an A-lister, because his ex Nicky Hilton is with her new boy-toy. As if on cue, Nicky moves from her outside haven to an inside table with David Katzenberg, Mary-Kate Olsen's former flame. I guess Mary-Kate doesn't only start fashion fads, she's also a boyfriend trendsetter. First, Paris dates an MK ex, Stavros Niarchos, and now this.

With Nicky and David partying in full view, Kevin has to be a little jealous. But he has Leo in his entourage, so she's probably a little green, too. With both their hands on the table, I'd call it a push.

Pharrell finally hits the stage, kicking off with "Can I Have It Like That," but the crowd doesn't go as crazy as I would have expected. Pharrell must have the same feeling, because he tries to draw in all the revelers by exclaiming, "It's karaoke night!"  

Never shy, Bijou Phillips steps on a platform and cuts loose. Wow, the girl can actually rap! When the karaoke session ends, Pharrell gets back on the mike with "Money Maker," and a sneaky partygoer dashes onstage in attempt to continue the audience participation. She boogies down and even flashes her panties before being escorted off.  

Who needs backup dancers when you can have a Girls Gone Wild  wannabe shake it for free?

While Pharrell performs, Owen Wilson sits in the cabana previously occupied by Melrose. I'm dying to ask if he's planning anything special for Kate Hudson this holiday season, but Owen's not feeling very friendly tonight. "No, I'm okay right now—thanks," he tells me, clearly avoiding my questions. But when he's offered a cupcake, it's all, "Yes, please." Doesn't he know questions from the party press are cupcakes, too? Guess the guy has never been grilled on 60 Minutes.

When New York Yankee star and all-around stud Derek Jeter politely declines to take a picture with an adoring fan, I can't help but think back to my snapshot with the baseball hunk at HBO's post-Emmy fete. And guess what? He remembers me!  

The all-star shortstop even invites me to an after-party in the Hollywood Hills. It is a cell phone party after all, so I tell him I'll hand over my digits later. But by the time I'm ready to head for the Hills, he's already macking on another girl. So much for my five minutes of flattery. (Word has it that after he left the club, Mr. Player was spotted getting cozy with Jessica Biel at Hyde.) If only West Coasters could be so suave.
