Kanon Vodka & Sophomore’s Chrissie Miller have a question to ask you … Truth or Dare!?

Last night, I went to go check out Kanon Organic Vodka, Chrissie Miller (founder of Sophmore) and her design partner Madeleine von Froomer (Proenza Schouler alum) new short film Truth or Dare which debuts their fall line of t-shirts, starring Chloe Sevigny, Chanel ambassador Jen Brill, writer Lesley Arfin, tattoo artist Scott Campbell and actor PJ Ransone and shot by Cass Bird; screened for the first time at Paul&Andre’s in L.A.

(For more on P&A, click on the following links P&A Purple Mag Oscar Partayyy, random mention the night before).

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the invite for this party for a few reasons:
1. Chrissie Miller in LA with Sophomore is very un LA, it is actually the opposite, being very NYC… We LOVE that!  The people mixed with the atmosphere was very LES in NYC, which I wish there was a lot more of. So far, P&A’s has def tried to bring a lil more of the NYC artsy/eclectic vibe to la, which especially worked at Olivier Zahm’s Purple Magazine Oscar Party, held here 3 weeks ago.

Missing LA peeps but a good mix of publicists, agents and celebs attended Elle magazine’s 17th Annual Women in Hollywood Tribute yesterday at the Four Seasons near The Daily Truffle headquarters.

A week and a half off their last event held at the Palihouse in Hollywood with Express, this time around the guest went from young Hollywood to ALL of Hollywood and read like a box office who’s who – Gwenyth Paltrow, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hilary Swank, Jodie Foster, Emma Roberts, mother daughter duo Kate Hudson & Goldie Hawn were all in attendance.

Funny man Adam Shankman hosted the soiree and kept the crowd laughing until late in the evening. Doors for the dinner opened around 8pm and the nominees took podium to accept their awards. LA favorites David Yurman and son Evan Yurman (formerly a race car driver who recently joined the family business) were also present to showcase their most recent designs.

More cool guests we saw: Amanda de Cadenet, Annette Bening, Calvin Klein and his creative director Francisco Costa, Elle mag’s Joe Zee, Tara Subkoff, Michelle Trachtenberg, Molly Sims, Diane Keaton, Diane Kruger, Elle Fanning, Goldie Hawn, Gwyneth Paltrow, Harrison Ford, Kate Hudson, Kathryn Bigelow, Quentin Tarantino, Sam Rockwell, Sofia Coppola and Stephen Dorff, Anna Kendrick, Dree Hemingway, Erika Christensen, etc.

LA Native Jake Gyllenhaal (Harvard-Westlake ’97) was spotted later by our little Truffle Hunters at the Mumford and Sons concert at the Palladium‏.

Vanessa Bruno @ Palais de Chaillot:

After sleeping in and strolling by my favourite sweet shop Pain de Sucre on Ramuteau, and by Repetto where they are launching a new offer to custom colour and trim on the classic ballet style … so genius! so hard to choose! … I was back on the Metro to one of my must stop sections of the city, Trocadero, where the Musee de Homme and Theatre Chailott are located … best view of the Tour Eiffel and a breathtaking sunset set the tone for this warm evening.

Vanessa Bruno was in the tropical zone showing palm prints in bright tones and short shorts in neon lace and crisp linens, oh so sexy slashed at the side seams revealing hip bones and a bit of tan line … ooh lala!

Dashed backstage for a quick hug before Lou Doillon and paps swarmed the vicinity! BTW premiere of mini movie campaign starring Doillon @ new Bruno boutique later this month in LA … Click to Continue Reading

Slideshow:
Fullscreen:

Adrian Grenier is a trooper he was the first person I saw (giving interviews on the red carpet) and last person I saw at the party (mingling on the curb in front of BlackBerry’s free hot dog truck) tonight while leaving the party. Despite the swarm of paparazzi 30 feet downwind of the exit, they for some reason didn’t seem to notice.

Lots of LA Natives tonight including Rashida Jones (actress & daughter of Quincy Jones) who was hanging out with Joel Madden, Anthony Mandler (music video & commercial director, also produced the Snoop Dogg Show), Zelda Williams (daughter of Robbin Williams and budding actress), Katie Danza (daughter of Tony Danza who was also at Nylon party last night), RJ Williams (Young Hollywood) who brought along his new brand strategist Tracy Behr, and moi!

As I waded through the BlackBerry clad waiters and pull-pork sandwiches I ran into some of my friends and former colleagues from E! News: Noelia Murphy (a segment producer at E! Entertainment), Matt Donnelly (who currently writes for the Ministry of Gossip for the Los Angeles Times – formerly for E! online), Katrina Wan (formerly at E!) in attendance this evening with her sister and Michelle Pesce (aka DJ Pesce who will be DJ-ing the InStyle party tomorrow), and Ben Lyons (a host for The Daily Ten & E! News) there with his sister Hannah Lyons (a culinary student in New York).

Ben’s friend, who I’ve met through him before, Michelle Tractenberg (aka Georgina on Gossip Girl) was also there walking around with DJ Qualls and sitting with Nikki Reed. A girl asked my friend Tracy Bjelland (who is from a very well known family in Norway, epic for their King Oscar Sardines empire) for a cigarette who turned out to be the original Nikita! Good thing she said yes.

Drake performed for the crowd of 200 and nearly ended the night when he went off stage yelling “have good night, see you next time” and then quickly grabbed back the mic and instructed people to not leave yet.

From the BlackBerry team in Canada who came in for the launch party – Douglas Soltys (former Blackberry blogger), Chris Hall (AT&T Product Manager), Geoff McMurdo (vice president of marketing for North America at BlackBerry maker Research in Motion), Kiyomi Rutledg (public relations coordinator for Research In Motion), Sonya Rotondi (marketing manager) and Mike Woodward (executive director, mobile professional solutions, for AT&T).

Harrison & Shriftman oversaw the event held at 5900 Wilshire Blvd. aka the “Variety building” with performances by Drake and DJ sets from Future the Prince. Can’t believe EVERYONE got BlackBerry’s!!! 200 gifts bag waiting to be claimed with little black tickets we got at the door :)

Other L.A. Notables, friends and interesting people include: Jeremy Scott with a pretty blonde friend in one of his Flintstones-inspired numbers, Chris Huvane, Frankie Delgado (friend and also was on The Hills), Mike Appel (944), Jack Ketsyon in the photo booth with Kristin Cavallari, Stacey Mooradian of Lionsgate, Rachel Shaprio, Beau Swayze (CAA) and Sam Keywanfar (House of Hype).

Nothing turns out a party better than giving away free BlackBerrys … Other celebs include: Venus & Serena Williams, Christina Ricci, Gloria Votsis (“Alex” on White Collar my favvvvorite show), Mario Lopez with a very very pregnant Courtney Mazza, Amber Valletta, Anna Kendrick, Christian Serratos (Twilight), Mark Saling, Lea Michelle (Glee), Felicity Huffman, Paul Iacano (from RJ Berger), Gina Gershon, Rachel Hunter, Jessica Lowndes, Shenae Grimes, Amber Lancaster who was with her buddy and friend of the Truffle Angie Banicki.

I am GIVING AWAY my BlackBerry Torch here on The Daily Truffle as I do not have AT&T. Check back soon for details :)

Audi’s 2010 Super Bowl party: Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner, Jessica Alba, Rob Lowe & Hilary Swank

I am officially over Sundance, Grammys and the Globes and before I gear up for New York Fashion Week, Valentine’s Day and Oscar week, I think we can all use a much appreciated breathe of fresh air from some down home, salt of the eath, all American, ma and pa, mom’s apple pie, firemen and cowboy, little league and hot dog, Walmart, team spirit, blue states, fly-over states, painted chests and foam fingering, good old fashion FOOTBALL!

Yes it’s Super Bowl Sunday in two days and while the rest of America is gearing up for a day of nachos, beer and cheese, my friends are flying down to Miami in private jets to host and attend the weekend’s hottest parties, sponsored by brands who are vying to get their spot in the sunshine from the 100 Million viewers who tune in. As someone who simply CANNOT pay attention to football unless there are a million other reasons to, I am particularly grateful to Audi, Coach, Cafeina, Tao, Maxim, Venus Williams, Pete Wentz, and Tide Febreeze who have given me something to care about and who understand the art of a good party and thankfully hire the right people to do the inviting! (ehem BNC, Michelle S, Ashlee A, Nick D).

Jessica Alba, Taylor Lautner, Hilary Swank, Kate Walsh, Tinsley Mortimer, Kellan Lutz, Rob Lowe (with his son who he is bringing to the big game on Sunday), Lance Bass, Osi Umenyiora of the New York Giants, and Chad Henne of the Miami Dolphins are all in Miami tonight to attend Audi’s kick off party at the W Hotel in South Beach. They were all shuttled in by Audi Q7 TDI clean diesel SUV – Audi’s new green car. Audi will also feature another new green car – their eco-friendly A3 TDI in a Super Bowl commercial premier during the Super Bowl. FYI – I live (LIVE!!) for commercial premieres! LIVE! The Audi commercial is a tongue-in-cheek spot with an updated classic song by Cheap Trick.

Jessica Alba, who had her daughter Honor is with her, says she’s pulling for the Saints – her father is a longtime Reggie Bush fan. (The little one will not attend the game – the stadium is too big for little girls!)

Kate Walsh and Hilary Swank have an on-going battle to see who could text the fastest – Hilary says she can text with her eyes closed without any mistakes. Lauren Brokaw, a Daily Truffle blogger, can do this too while talking and walking. I’ve seen it, and it is syck! Take that Swank! They should all enter LG’s national texting competition this year. Dorks. http://www.lgtexter.com/
