So you think 2009 has sucked because of the recession? Agreed. The drought of entertainment marketing events broke with 7 major events on the same Thursday night (30 Apr).

Holly Montag (The Hills) was by far the most popular person at the event. Here, Cory Podell (Life & Style) and Lauren Magboo (EFG PR) fend off a gaggle of other reporters waiting patiently to ask her about her newlywed sister.

The always smart EFG PR team beat the rush by kicking off early at 6 PM. Catch Boutique - a unique online shopping experience that lets you video chat with a personal stylist while you shop - took over a new event space called “Mark” sandwiched near Factor’s and “Shavuot” signs in the super Jewish neighborhood on Pico.

Vanessa Minillo and Jaime Pressly (Fedora and glasses inside) also sampled the comp manicures, hairstyling, and a cupcake tower.

At 8PM The Dona Daneshi Fashion show “I am Mystic” took over the penthouse of the Chateau Marmont.

Hostess Siri Garber (LA Magazine's publicist of the year '04) surprised the crowd by emerging with a parrot on her shoulder when the fashion show was delayed a few minutes. Effective warm up act!

Each brave model walked with a parrot (parakeet?) to a live windchime soundtrack -- it's awesome when an event breaks the mold.

From the Chateau rooftop, we could literally see the flashbulbs of the LA Confidential May/June Issue release party at XIV a few hundred yards away (Lisa Rinna, Molly Simms, and Gene Simmons showed), but President Bill Clinton recrutied the most formal crowd to the Hollywood Roosevelt. Jessica Alba, Adrien “Vinny Chase” Grenier, Office Co-workers B.J. Novak (Ryan) + Ed Helms (Andy Bernard), Zach Braff, Will.i.Am, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Don Cheadle supported Clinton’s “Millenium Network”.

Meanwhile in Santa Monica, Linday Lohan launched a new fragrance at Sephora while Karina Smirnoff had some vaguely film related something called “Dreams of India”, Monster Energy Drink  supported “Music Saves Lives” @ The Key Club (Perez Hilton, Aubery O’ Day). A traditional mega event, the Star Trek premiere swept up every other celebrity in the world, with a warehouse after party that was still going at 2:25 AM.

And if you werent convinced that last night was the night to be out, our own network @Celebsightings on twitter had spotters texting in Courtney Cox with a sixpack of girlfriends at dinner in Studio City while Victoria Beckham and Lauren Conrad sat a few tables away from each other in Brentwood.
