Gavin Rossdale Unplugged @ Esquire House, Beverly Hills

Vh1 Save the Music hosted a fundraiser with a performance by Gavin Rossdale (Bush '95, Gwen's man '95-current) at the Esquire House in the hills of Beverly last night. (25 Oct)

Gavin sang 5 songs, including fall 2008's most popular cover song, "Landslide".

This event at the "ultimate bachelor pad" (as the house calls itself) reached a level of class and "tophatting" rarely seen in these party reports. A single girl friend mentioned to me "I would [redacted] any guy who had this house!" Care to respond, Maxim?.

A Kilted Man in the closet serves you 25 or 50 year old Scotch...your choice. (Our choice? As much Effen Vodka as possible.

The Esquire house has a computerized toilet. Auto flushes. Temperature controlled.

Since its founding in 2003, The Esquire House has partnered with charities to raise over $7m.

Celebrity Kickball in Malibu

Billed as "The Battle of the Summer". By our count, that would be the 2nd skirmish in that zip code this summer.

Just 7 days ago, I emerged victorious in a croquette tournament while breaking the "tennis whites" dress code on an elite lawn of Nantucket, Mass.

Back in outer space aka the west coast we do more normal stuff, like Saturdays playing Celebrity Kickball in Malibu, courtesy of French Connection.

Team Captain Leslie Bibb (St. Gertrude's H.S. - VA '92, Iron Man '08) tends to a bloodied knee. All bleeders got automatic MVP kudos.

Nick Kroll (Best Week Ever 'Current) is awesome at eating watermelon and drinking Newcastles in the outfield. You must get to know him better.'Kicks to Hostess Alle Fister (Pepperdine '04) who could gaze at her alma mater perched across the PCH ...if she wasn't rocking out with a boombox in her face.
As new resident of CW's 90210 Ryan Eggold (West Beverly '10) stepped to the plate, he waived off the suggestions that he is "The new Luke Perry" and "The New Ian Ziering".Jessica Schimmel (Star Magazine ' Current) and Elissa Buchter (Cardozo H.S. - NY, U Miami) are not lost on their way to the Bridgehampton Polo Grounds.

It's been less than 48 hours, and all 4 Chipotle free burrito coupons in the giftbags are DUST. See people, gift bags work.
