Los Angeles Confidential Party

From the very beginning, the March 2 party at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood was packed! The lobby was jammed in the Mondrian Hotel with guests trying to make their way into the Sky Bar. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the guest of honor because he’s on the cover of Los Angeles Confidential magazine. He arrived late and stood by himself, just checking out the scene until the magazine’s editor, Jason Binn, came over to talk to him, says a rep.

Among the celebrities spotted there were: Matt Dillon, who showed up with an entourage, couldn’t get them all into the VIP area that was reserved for Hoffman. He stayed with his friends, making his way to the VIP area later.

Olympic skier Jeremy Bloom was there with an attractive blonde woman. When fellow Olympic skater Sasha Cohen saw him, her eyes lit up and she ran over to give him a huge hug. He remarked that he hadn’t seen her since Torino and he seemed really excited to bump into her.

Rick and Kathy Hilton were sitting at a table with Jason Davis, Kathy’s sister Kyle Richards and Elliot Mintz, Paris’s publicist. Elliot said that Paris wasn’t coming because she was busy filming The Simple Life.

Winner of last season’s America’s Next Top Model, Nicole Linkletter, got a big hug from music producer Joe Francis. They talked for a long time and she appeared flirtatious. She was drinking white wine and dressed in a very sexy long black dress with a slit on the side.

Eliza Dushku was dancing in the bathroom with a friend when she announced that she needed mascara. She was very thankful when someone offered her some.

Famke Janssen was sitting at a table for most of the night with three men. Other celebrities in attendance were Joey Fatone, Pauly Shore, Bai Ling, Tom Arnold, Brandon Davis, Jamie Lynn Sigler and Jesse Metcalfe.
