Hollywood Drinks Hennessey - If You Bribe us with LL Cool J and Ne Yo

Hennessey is a cognac. It is a type of brandy, produced in a special region of france. No, this is not from Wikipedia. We paid $465 to learn this a few years ago. You probably learned that for free from listening to hip hop.

When you rent out the largest behemoth of a club in Hollywood (this exact hour), "The Kress", and invite 866 tastemakers to hold up thier cell phones to take photos of 2 hip hop stars both born "Smith" - James Smith (LL Cool J) and Grammy Winner Shaffer Chimere Smith (Ne-Yo) performing in front of you, should we forgive you for your totalitarian bar regiment of Hennessey only? Is there vodka? "No, we're sponsored by Hennessey".  Can I BUY a vodka for $40? "No, you can have a Hennessey Sidecar". 

2 Guys Named Smith

So with gag reflexes intact, we sipped Hennessey Mojitos until we didn't taste it anymore. See corporate america, Hollywood parties work!! You got everyone to drink something, and like it* that they would never ever pay for. 

2/3 of the heroes of Hollyscoop.com  - Ani Esmalian and Diana Magpapaian (both UCSB '04) made a rare appearance on the party scene.

Spy photos of a coming attraction. On Sunday night (21 Sep), TV Guide will be throwing the largest post-Emmys party in this very tent on the grounds of the Kress.

*almost puked.
