HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

Los Angeles Confidential seems to be everywhere on the party circuit these days. The fatter-than-a-phonebook glossy has been gathering Hollywood's A-list together for bash after stylish bash. LAC recently gave us all a chance to tour one of the city's newest hotspots, the hip, new watering hole called Bar Nineteen12 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Kerry Washington and pals pranced down the red carpet while the Nineteen12 kitchen pulled out all the stops. And this is one divine dive that makes food fun. Servers made the rounds with yummy heirloom tomato shooters and bacon and quail egg muffins, kobe beef siders and tasty spoonfuls of French bouillabaisse. You can't call them uncreative on the beverage front either. Revelers lined up for shocking pink prickly pear margaritas, which looked like something Barbie might drink on her 21st birthday. Another popular offering came in the form of Jell-O blueberry vodka shooters on a stick.

Tom Arnold, who broke out his best damn bowling shirt for the occasion, was busy yucking it up in one corner while manager Philip Spee directed tours. "This hotel has such a vast history," he said. "So many legends have come through here. We wanted to create something young and hip that would be complementary to the rest of the hotel and pay respect to its traditions." That being said, it seems they're off to a good start.

The Confidential folks were back in action a few days later when Liane Weintraub and Shiva Rose hosted an end-of-summer beach barbecue. They set up shop at French Connection on the beach to benefit Art of Elysium.

There was plenty of pomp and circumstance during Emmy week as well when the mag feted cover gal Ellen Pompeo and her posh looking pals at One Sunset in West Hollywood. The Emmy and El celebration featured Pom Pom specialty drinks like the Golden Emmy, made with a pour of pineapple juice as well as a Splash of Pompeo, a sweet combo of Grand Marnier and pomegranate juice. The sleek retreat was packed to the gills as Ellen's co-star Sandra Oh and locals like Linda Thompson partied into the night.

LA Confidential Magazine hosts after party @ The Sofitel

It's in the Genes for the Wilson Brothers

The Wilson brothers are definitely hot. Tall, handsome and skinny, their genetics have to be studied and cloned.

I got a chance to see all three of them at the premiere of The Wendell Baker Story at The Writer’s Guild in Beverly Hills last night. The brothers arrived to the premiere separately, but each showed up wearing a dark suit and collared shirt without a tie! It was as if they had planned for a family portrait.

Lucky co-star Eva Mendes looked magnificent in a mustard yellow strapless dress by Cynthia Vincent. Her skin shimmered under the photographers' flashes. I had to ask her how her skin looked so amazing and she told me it was Revlon’s Skinlights. She also shared that she drinks lemon water constantly and she swears it keeps skin looking healthy. I’m stocking up on lemons!

The movie was cute! A def. must see if you want a feel-good, lighthearted pic. I was anxious though to get over to the Sofitel where LA Confidential Magazine was hosting the after party.

Guests rolled in after 10pm, right when I caught Kevin Dillon sipping a beer. As I scanned the room, Kate Hudson was greeting Luke Wilson with a kiss on the cheek. Owen was a few feet behind her!

Wow -- it’s totally public and legit! Kate’s here with Owen! We’ve seen the photos of them together, but it’s like they are always in hiding. And now, she 's actually here.

Kate looked gorgeous -- and without an ounce of makeup! Her super blonde hair was a great contrast to her tanned skin. She just epitomizes Malibu gorgeousness. She wore a super sexy black vest, but it couldn’t make up for the high-waisted, Wrangler-like, dark denim jeans she was wearing! Ugh! They gave her that dreaded 80’s bubble butt! Dating someone with as amazing genes as Owen Wilson, and she wears those?

She looked happy as she swayed to the Allman Brothers and sipped her champagne, so I kinda forgave her. And Owen kinda liked it! At one point, she teasingly wiggled her booty right in front of him. He put his hand on her waist, smiled and gave her a super sweet kiss on the lips. So cute, right?

Unfortunately, she brought her rock n’ roll crew with her. Probably leftovers from her Chris Robinson days, the group of misfits looked like Hell’s Riders arrived via Malibu. One of the girls got so wasted she actually fell over into a random partygoer.

Andrew Wilson was super nice. He seemed grateful and we talked for a bit about the movie.

The boys stuck together for most of the night and partied with beers. It’s clear that they get what it means to be in the “Frat Pack!”
