DJ Lady Sinclair spins the CAA party at 2012 Sundance

Party: CAA event at Sugar with DJ Lady Sinclair and DJ Ruckus
Where: Sugar, 268 Main Street

When: Saturday night, January 21st 2012

Sightings: Kristen Dunst with boyfriend Garrett Hedlund, James MarsdenPaul DanoWilliam H Macy, CAA’s hosts of the night and co-heads of the CAA finance dept, Roeg Sutherland & Micah GreenDon McNeill of Digital Kitchen *(who is responsible for bringing you the elevator commercials for the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas), Bianca White, reps for Sheets (LeBron James’ new energy strip company that co-sponsored the party), Jaren Eng of Just JaredWynter Mitchell of US Weekly and more, Silver restaurant on Main Street owner Lisa Barlow and her publicist New Yorked based Helena Renee, and more.

Music: DJ Lady Sinclair aka Michelle Kath Sinclair and DJ Ruckus

Notes:

• DJ Lady Sinclair aka Michelle Sinclair learned her skills direct from DJ AM who she grew up with in L.A. Michelle’s birth father is late Chicago guitarist Terry KathMichelle is in pre-production on a doc about him. Now it’s time for some Truffle 6 degrees of separation … Michelle’s mother was once married to Kiefer Sutherland who is brothers with CAA agent Roeg Sutherland who threw the party. Michelle has been known for her DJ gigs at major events like the Modern Warfare 3 Launch Party, the Louis Vuitton / Vanity Fair rooftop party in Beverly Hills, and currently has an in-house gig at the Ace Hotel in Palm Springs.

• Greg Andrews, aka DJ Ruckus, made us feel bad about ourselves because we will never be as good at anything as he is at DJ-ing.  Watching this man DJ is entrancing and we would have loved to do it for hours! We also think it’s pretty ff-ing cool that Ruckus dated uber super model (understatement) Doutzen Kroes. Ruckus is signed with Yoni Goldberg and Damon DeGraff’s, DGI Management, (DUHH) which has a pretty impressive roster list such as Paul Sevigny, Rev Run, Andre Saraiva, The Misshapes, Jesse Marco, photog Bronques, and more… #NBD, right?

A little side note from Sundance on the new West Memphis Three documentaries

FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Although there were many points of interest at this year’s Sundance, the most fascinating and moving element was hands-down the new Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) produced documentary about the West Memphis Three which is directed by Amy Berg (who won an Oscar for her preist-molestation film Deliver Us from Evil in 2006) and is titled: West of Memphis. Moreover, the biggest star of Sundance, and biggest shock was one of the West Memphis Three, Damien Echols, who came along with Peter Jackson and several of the parents of the murdered boys that led to his possibly false imprisonment and death sentence in the 90s. Damien was joined in Sundance with his wife whom he met and married while on death row. The doc is aptly timed with the release of the West Memphis Three from prison this past August although it’s been in the works for ages. Peter was also with his wife who co-produced the film- the couple has been providing financial and public support for the defense since seeing Joe Berlinger’s 1996 documentary Paradise Lost for HBO about the case. The situation is only going to get bigger and bigger, as Berlinger’s follow up in a series of three HBO documentaries, “Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory,” was just nominated for an Oscar yesterday.

UPDATE (February 1, 2012): Deadline Hollywood is reporting Colin Firth has signed on to join Reese Witherspoon to co-star in Devil’s Knot, based on investigative reporter Mara Leveritt’s 2003 book Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, to be directed by Atom Egoyan (The Exorcism Of Emily Rose). Colin will play private investigator Ron Lax who offered his services for free to the defendents in 1993 and who helped find the DNA in the knots that bound one of the victims that cast suspicion on the stepfather of one of the 8-year old murdered boys. Filming begins next summer in Louisiana, and other big names are expected to join the cast in smaller roles.

Party: Puma Social & Miami Oasis at the T-Mobile Village at the Lift

Where: Town Lift on Main Street

When: Friday, January 20th – Sunday, January 22nd

Notes: Jeff Best of Best Events converts the Town Lift in Park City on Main Street every year into a snow oasis for Snowdancers… I mean Sundancers — PMK-BNC and Brandlink Communications are brought in to handle press. Domain Media is brought in to wrangle talent for this 3 tiered event which includes Puma/Wireimage inside a tent on the snow by the lift, Miami Oasis housed below on the ground level, and Tao’s pop-up nightclub on the garage level. Stella Artois Cafe is set up next to the Puma tent by the lift. The best part about the whole thing are the girls who do the list camped out in the ticket consuls where one normally buys their ski lift passes; LUV!

Party: Grey Goose presents: For A Good Time, Call … after party

Where: Grey Goose Blue Door 449 Main Street

When: Sunday, January 22nd

Sightings: Seth Rogen (whose mother and sister showed up to support), Justin Long, Ari Graynor (**Sundance it girl**), Mark Webber, Nia Vardalos, Lauren Miller, Mimi Rogers, director Jamie Travis

Music: DJ Spider played “it” bands such as Washed Out, M83, Gotye, Avicii, Adele, and more with wife Wells Butler at his side — Spider (Oliver) and Wells were also spotted at Questlove’s afternoon birthday party in The Canyons in Park City the day before.

Notes:  Guests at the after party were given promotional pink telephones as party-favors that attached to their regular phones (see pics). We noticed GREY GOOSE has a new flavor … Cherry Noir which the bar ran out of just before 1am. For A Good Time, Call … premiered at the Eccles Theater in Park City earlier on Sunday night. Per Deadline.com, Focus Features just acquired Jamie’s feature debut, ‘For A Good Time Call’, for a little over $2 million. We took note of the cocktail napkins being passed around which were branded for the film and looked into it — turns out it was not the work of some marketing firm but instead was the director of the film who made them and even hooked up a rather lude voicemail from “Katie & Lauren” (named for film writers: Lauren Miller and Katie Anne Naylon) on the end of the 855 number which still works despite having too many digits.
