Los Angeles, August 28. – The party to celebrate Fete Accompli: The Ultimate Guide to Creative Entertaining by PR gurus Elizabeth Harrison and Lara Shriftman, was a Malibu neighborhood get-together. Local Lara Flynn Boyle hosted, and was first to arrive, announced she was starving, bee-lined to the Krispy Kreme booth and downed a doughnut in four bites. Producer Brian Grazer came with his son and dog. Alana Stewart brought her dog, later dashed home for a jacket, and came back. Sara Wynter, Arianna Huffington and her sister, Steven Dorff with his parents and Maeve Quinlan sat on lounge chairs and big white couches sipping Grey Goose cocktails and munching In'n’Out burgers. When she was leaving, Alana Stewart declined to take one of the centerpieces, a vase filled with roses, saying, “F*** it, the water will spill in the car.” Then she added, “We are such whores for free stuff.”
