blog post MTV Utah - Unplugged
Posted in TheCHIMP.net, Celebrities on Jan 26, 2007 at 8:53 PM by TheCHIMP
Tyler Hilton,  starred on "One Tree Hill"for 2 years, played Elvis Presly in "Walk theLine",and no, he isnot Her Brother.

On Tuesday, in the Green House finale channeled classic MTV Unplugged, with a fireside acoustic performance by Tyler. Audience? Only 40 invites to the "GreenHouse sleepover concert". The TRL favorite and teen pin-up rocked out a 6 song set.  Not my best videography, but you get the idea here.



Professional swagger Wynona Ryder
showed up as one of the few with Bobby Cannavale, the guy from Will and Grace and "Six Feet Under", thinking that she was coming to see dipshit perform and not really sure why. Wynona looked as relieved as the "not guilty" when she heard.


The one liquor store in Park City at prime time - 6 PM.

2 Questions:
"Where are you from?"
"What are you drinking tonight?"



Ok so I was eating breakfast in the T-Mobile cafe with the typical crew... Ben, Jax, Syd, etc and we had had this entire conversation the night before about Jamie Kennedy ruining my life by making the movie Malibu's Most Wanted. Well actually he didn't like totally ruin it but I got a LOT of flack for it in college. So we had this whole thing where you throw up a "M" with your fingers for MLO which means Malibu Locals Only where little rich kids pretend they're too cool and tough. SO anyways, point being I went up to Jamie and was like you know because of you I got called Malibu's Most Wanted for all of Tulane [that would be otherwise known as my four years of crazy college where I am in shock I managed to graduate in four years!]...

Anyways, I digress! So Jamie goes, "Fo Shizzle? You can be my Malibu Shizzle Nizzle! Did you go to Pepperdizzle?" Ok so in english we could translate what he was saying but it'd take all the fun out of it. All in all it was a fun 10 hungover minutes!


Hey Everybody! I hope you enjoy my photos. I had 3 crazy fun filled days at the Festival. It was my first time at Sundance. I was lucky enough to have been a part of the cast of WEAPONS. You can see all of our activity in the photo blog. I am still recovering from the fun! I'd love to hear any comments and sawp stories. I must say I think the party to beat for 2007. Would have to be the Myspace party at TAO. They were giving you performances by Diddy, Pharrell and Mos Def!! Deal with that!! Damon Dash was representing the WEAPONS cast pretty hard and got up on stage for a while. It was AMAZING!! Anyway...enjoy the pics. It was a fun trip and I am glad to share the photos with IMEEM. -Toni Trucks (beep)



blog post JUST ANOTHER MANIC MONDAY!
Posted in TheCHIMP.net, Celebrities on Jan 24, 2007 at 1:54 AM by Shauna Bass
After the weekend it was a completely different scene in sundance, you could actually WALK on the streets without tourists gawking at the people carting off their swag or whispering every time they think they see Mandy Moore walk by.

We went to Tao Blender Session’s last night and it was the bomb! Had so much fun, Akon performed and as much as I wanted Eminem to pop out to do a surprise performance… sadly it didn’t happen [well not like it was supposed to… but wouldn’t it have been great if he did!]

So then we decided to be one step ahead of the fire marshall and hit the Heineken Green Room party hosted by NYC hotspot STEREO. It was SO fun, the place only holds about 125 people so it was great, lots of sugar free red vodkas, petron and SUSHI! I never knew that the other 355 days a year that the Green Room is really a sushi restaurant. So we stayed there till around 3.30 and then there was the nonsense of the fire Marshall saying that they couldn’t find the permit so they had to shut down the music and shut down the bar… only a temporary problem because they found the permit after all… but come on! I guess it really is just crazy Park City, Utah!!!!

Afterwards Hollywood Life and had fun little private after party at their house which was pretty good but when you’re running on 45 minutes of sleep from the night before you tend to want to go to sleep at about… oh I don’t know 4:30 am!


blog post CRAZIEST SUNDANCE RUMOR EVER!
Posted in TheCHIMP.net, Celebrities on Jan 24, 2007 at 1:47 AM by Shauna Bass
There was a rumor Britney Spears was supposed to show up at Sundance. I mean as much as we all would have liked to see Justin and Britney awkwardly avoiding each other all week what would have been her point? She’s definitely NOT the new Paris Hilton that’s for sure!

And speaking of Paris, where is she? I mean they were giving away cars practically and Paris was a no show! I suppose she had to deal with that pesky DUI thing. No one could believe that :Paris had decided to skip out, little disappointed, I mean last year she went into the Intuition/J & Company suite and was so into the swag she wore a pair of J & Co jeans outside and she didn’t even take off the tags! A paparazzi got a pair of scissors to help cut them off.

Actually maybe Britney should have come down they were giving away Hane’s at Kari Feinstein’s style lounge and then Le Mysterie at Fred Segal Beauty suite which was at the, as usual hub of Sundance, Village at the lift., she could have loaded up for the next year!


100% of Sundance does not know or care that the State of the Union Address is tonight (Tuesday 1.23). To the 5 or 10 viewers watching, it’s a big deal because the entire federal government comes together for one time in the year – Congress, Supreme Court, the Cabinet, the worst Texan ever, and my mom.


For Sundance, the more germane state, was the union of every branch of the U.S. party scene in one (relatively) small palace last night - TAO/Marquee/Harry O’s for the Blender party and show by Nelly and Akon, and I somehow ended up with walkie/clipboard as quasi Marquee/Tao staff for the night pulling in talent from icy outside with Team Fusion. Bring the chamber to order!

Nightlife Senators:
Jason StraussNoah Tepperberg Billy Dec (Rockit Ranch Chicago/Florida, Jen Scheft Bachlerette ‘05) - revealed to TheCHIMP.net exclusively that yes, they will be doing a satellite club somewhere in Miami during superbowl
Andrew Goldberg (Marquee) Sean Gallagher (NYC various) Sasha (Bolthouse/Strategic)
Photography Governors:

Seth Browarnik (‘Miami) Tracy Lee (‘Napkin Nights /Vegas)Jamie McCarthy (‘NYC) Dimitri Kambouris (‘LA)
House of Representatives:
Rappa Dappa (Spinshoppe)Rembrandt Flores, Jackie Topacio, and Ben Russo (Fusion)Amy Tsvi (Bragman)Stacey Wechsler (Hired Gun)and at least 1700 lbs more of "publicist" lurking around...
Staffers / Wranglers:
A-List, Alliance, Strategic Group, Maxim, Blender
And every governing body has the old-timer drunk, played here Tara Reid (married to Caron Daly with twins Carter and Peyton, living in White Plains) , who unraveled months of image rehab in one Akon humping, butt crack exposing, win-the-wet-t-shirt contest-over-that-bitch-from-Purdue in Cancun moment. Must see exclusive over at Hollyscoop.

Kinda like the Superbowl...which incidentally was just given the same security rating by the FBI as the State of the Union. Speaking of Superbowl, surprise halftime performer Nelly (’04, forgotten amidst the Janet boob shock ‘life) performed after AKON, and arrived with the now well documented football team entourage surrounding the QB.

Benched: Every year at the speech, one cabinet member has to stay out at a secure underground remote location in case Osama shows up at the velvet rope and his name isnt on the list. The idea is to provide a line of secession for the presidency and continuation of government, so we dont end up as a country the way the line outside of Mansion ends up at 2 AM.

Vote '07: Who in your opinion was the “one” nightlife superstar sitting it out to preserve the line of secession? Capponi? Nazarian? Criminal Mike? Cast your vote!

Are you Seceding from TheCHIMP.net? We hope only to find more professional Sundance coverage at Imeem's growing colony of writers. Immigrate here.


Justin Timberlake broght his mom to a private dinner at the Green House on Sunday night, preceeding the satellite club SHAG throwing "SHAG in the SNOW" after party.

Justin, his mom, Lynn Harless, (who was the one who came up with the name N'SYNC), and 28 friends chowed on filet mignon and butternut squash soup prepared in the Green House's own kitchen by celebrity CHEF J. Justin is a crown royal drinker apparently, but wihout any of those funny looking bottles in the house, took a Jack Daniels with water. He is also a very good pool player, and not a very good picture taker. BOOH. BOOH. I guess we will have to wait another 4 seconds to see a photo of him somewhere else. He did not make out with Britney, Cameron, Jessica, or me during the event, so any valentine's news on him will have to wait.

As impressive as his talents are, his magic skills are even better. I stared at the room knowing he was going to come through it in 2 minutes and before I could focus* poof * ....he was gone. On departure, his camoflauge style security (not hulks) blend so well that once again I found myself staring at the place he should be, but just saw an empty door. ..JT is KAIZER SOZE....a total Houdini.

Upstais in the grand room, Zen from SHAG HOLLYWOOD rocked out mashups to a packed room. Door God Pantera Sarah had a line up the driveway, and a second interior velvet rope inside the foyer of the house. Not even professional courtesy applied, as Cinespace owners Kim and Errol Roussell came inside with their friends, and then tossed a few minutes later when a "lapse in arrvial protocol" was discovered.

For Survivor fans, it was nearly a COOK ISLANDS reunion, with Parvati, Yul, and Ozzie all partying. Of note, Yul and Ozzie, despite spending 39 days on an island together and working together to finish #1 and #2 are clearly not friends - in the remote mountains of Utah on a Sunday night, they attend the same exclusive house party, an hour apart from each other, and make no mention of hanging out or coordinating with the other.

Park City Police Blotter:
The Green House charity, A Birds Nest, reported a theft on Friday night. A one of a kind scarf made by an Afghani widow went AWOL causing great concern over security and procedure. On Sunday night, a repeat guest at the house was wearing it. (See photo above in the photo player) . When confronted, she refused to give it back saying "I am cold". After several requests, she was relieved of her stolen charity bounty and kicked out. Good luck with your karma, bitch....if you know her and are reading this, please forward it to her and remind her that she sucks.

Celebrity Roll Call:
Kate Walsh (Grey's Anatomy 'current), Billy Bush (Interviewer of the CHIMP at Real World Auditions '97, Access Hollywood 'current), Stephen Bauer (Scarface '84), Emile Hirsch (Girl next Door '04), Yul Kwon, Parvati Shallow, and Ozzie Lusth (Survivor '06), Lauren (Beauty and Geek '06), Justin Timberlake, G. Love (G. Love and Special Sauce '90s), Ethan Appley and Carol Chi (Imeem 'current)

Park City Scoreboad:

Litres of Ocean Vodka poured by vodka-masters Shay and Dyanna: 83
Frozen Toes: 10

*LA comic Carol Turner and her bf Avi told me they saw 2 movies. Sam Rockwell something ("sucked") and a total B-Movie fringe thing with the kid from Nip/Tuck about a woman who has teeth on her vag to chop off man meat ("fucking hilarious, amazing").

Lots more weekend fallout from Sundance at the IMEEM bunker: Hurry, duck over here!


On Saturday night, Sienna Miller (Jude Law bed buddy '05) hosted a private dinner for her new movie "Interview". Giuliana Depandi and fiancee/Apprentice Bill Rancic came by - her rock is huge, his pockets are empty - and are thinking TomKat and getting married in Italy this fall. Despite this starpower at the Green House, the hot topic was Tom Arnold.


Things I knew about Tom Arnold before he showed up with his pretty blonde wife, Shelby.
He had a lot of sex with Roseanne. Hurl, flush, wipe mouth, brush teeth. He was a loud, blustering talker that I never wanted to be like on Fox's "Best Damn Sports Show"He used to be a Federline in the mid 90s, but has emerged to be a enduring presenceHe is randomly doing stuff for The Tonight Show now, joining Jon Melendez in the "I didnt see that coming" department.I didnt think he was cool, or like him much.The guy showed up around 9:30 - friendly, outgoing, talkative, sober, respectful, legitimately interested in everybody. Everyone was shaking their heads going "Who is that guy? He rules!" Even our british house producer, Paul, who's been off the boat 3 weeks goes, "Christ, that chap has a personality...what a good bloke." For this and other contributions, Tom Arnold is the ANTI-JLO. For a good laugh, check out the plethora of I Hate J-LO themed websites I found here, including one that says ...
J-Lo is Jealous of Monique Taitague: "Jennifer Lopez, The Ugly Old Actress and Fat Butt singer, is jealous of The American Princess Monique Desiree Taitague from Vallejo,California."
Tom Arnold New News: He lived next to Britney and Federline in a high rise and tried to advise them away from self destruction - they breathed off the paparazzi and wouldnt listen. Tom shoots Law and Order SVU this week in NYC, playing that gay evangelical leader who had male prostitutes and was outed right before the elections. He is a staunch democrat but loves Arnold Schwarzenegger. He just shot "Pride" with Terence Howard and Bernie Mac in New Orleans and loved his FEMA trailer living, bad ass female driver. He fell in love again- he requested a rush shipment of Motley Bird to his NYC hotel ASAP to get through production.

Non Tom Arnold celebrity Appearances last night: Steve Buscemi (Every movie ever ' current), Giuliana Depandi and Bill Rancic (Getting Married in Italy '07), Jeremy Sisto (Clueless '95, Six Feet Under '04), Patricia Kara (Deal or No Deal 'current)

Tonight Justin Timberlake comes for dinner! It's Hollywood Club SHAG presenting "Shag in the Snow".


Reading over the other Imeem'ers party credentials on other posts (Tao, Bottles, Models, Nick Cannon), its time to floss a little bit on here so I dont get demoted to "Imeem JV"....

Kari Feinstein's Style Villa at Sundance is the Vanity Fair  Oscar Party of Gifting Suites. Seriously, check out the roster from her Golden Globes gifting a few weeks ago in LA.  I was especially psyched to lose my gifting virginity, as a recipient, here at the mecca on Main St.

Rappa began her PR career as an assitant to Kari, herself, back in '02, so it was a homecoming of sorts.

Upon arriving, I saw my hero, photographer Todd Williamson (Anti - Perez crusader '06), who told me he had shot Wynona Ryder (Girl Interrupted '00, Bev Hills Jail '01) who came in earlier.... Wynona picking up tons of free stuff and walking out the door...legally!!  Even so mildly credentialed as press, and a "blogger", I knew I at least could do no wrong in here.

Shopping alongside me and Rappa? Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm 'current), Tom Arnold (who we would meet formally later in the night), Teri Hatcher (Desperate 'current) and Efren Ramirez (Vote for Pedro '04, Imeem Celebrity Blogger '07).

Because 3 days at Sundance feels like 3 months...I have started a "Home From Utah" To-Do List
1.    Order Season 2 of LOST from NETFLIX (Thanks Gary),

2.    ...or download the season to watch and listen to on the new IMainGo an Ipod speaker bag Tim at Portable Sound Labs threw at us. Rad.

3. Write Thank You Notes to vendors and business partners on Earmark Invitations, which could only come from the mind of two Massachusetts people, Bridgette and Michael, as crazy as me and Rappa. They have cards that say "___________ YOU" for you to fill in. Confirmed that 100% of people say something that rhymes with FUCK in the space.

4.  and since I wear the same thermals almost every day and night  in the 10 degree heat here, put on some new Hanes t-shirts as they are already the only clean garment I own.

SCOREBOARD TO DATE:
Movies or Movie Related Events Attended:0
Business Cards Collected: 42
Other Imeem Writers Met in Person: 7!!
