A-List Turnout for Kathy Freston’s Vegan Book Party

For most of us ink-stained wretches, throwing a book party in Los Angeles during a torrential downpour would whittle the attendees down to single digits. But when Arianna Huffington and Wendi Murdoch (yes, wife of Rubert) host such an event, everyone grabs an umbrella and braves the rain.

Friday night’s event, hosted at Arianna’s Brentwood home, was held in honor of Kathy Freston‘s newest book, “Veganist: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Change The World.” Notable guests included Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Moby, Frances Fisher, Lorne Michaels, and Rob Reiner. So naturally, there was plenty of starfuckery going on. This fishie was making polite conversation with an elderly gentleman when he abruptly shoved me out of the way to get to Marla Maples. Remember her? Other 90′s flashbacks in attendance included Elizabeth Berkley, Tracey Ullman, Candice Bergen, and Oliver Stone.

These charming fellows were filming the event for Arianna’s new bosses, AOL. Endearingly, they did not shove us out of the way to get to Marla Maples, or anyone else.

On our way out, we noticed that the rain had picked up, and some jerk had stolen our umbrella. Those A-listers sure have sticky fingers (I’m looking at you, Rob Reiner).
