Other Details: Uhm, Night of Too Many Stars? Just ONE of these names at an event would merit press coverage, but celebrities were packed into Cipriani Wall Street (and later, Boom Boom) like sardines. Simon Doonan was giving the evening's winners Jersey Shore nicknames (aka Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough of Proenza Schouler are Bones and The Condition). Designers were all flanked by their favorite muses: Kate Bosworth was there for Proenza, Fabiola Beracasa sat with Michael Kors (who presented Nina Garcia with her award).

Cocktails With Perez
Where: Stone Rose Lounge, Columbus Circle
Who Was There: Perez Hilton, Sandra Bernhardt, Mia Moretti
Other Details: Perez Hilton gave a brief speech, in which he announced he was taking steps to make his site to be more positive, including forever giving up the use of the term "Maniston" (his nickname for Jennifer Aniston.) Sandra Bernhardt did a brief, brief set, where she awkwardly talked about playing topless cards in Atlantic City and "doing blow in the snow", which was received with a mixture of polite laughter and stone cold silence. She looked amazing though, in black leather pants and a sequined top! Mia Moretti DJ'D, and got the crowd dancing as much a crowd at one of these things can be expected to dance.
