Los Angeles, June 2, 2006 – We all wonder how Karl Lagerfeld finds the time, let alone the energy, to design several of the world’s most coveted fashion lines several times each year, and also count calories, shoot published photos and design ad campaigns for alcoholic beverages. Yes, Karl shot the ads for Dom Perignon Rose Vintage 1996 champagne, and he celebrated by hosting a a party at a private Beverly Hills residence on Friday night.

Quite an eclectic Hollywood assortment helped Karl pop the cork on the bubbly’s new image. Lindsay Lohan, who never met a party she didn’t like, had to keep her fire lips in check when Paris Hilton waltzed in. And Paris brought her new BFF, Nick Lachey’s newest girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, who faced Lachey’s ex-wife, Jessica Simpson.

We couldn’t get Beck to talk about Suri Cruise; it seems all Scientologists don’t automatically know each other. We were a little surprised to see Courtney Love at a party for a, er, substance, but she seemd lucid enough. Brittany Murphy, Maria Bello and Mickey Rourke were all on hand, as was Vincent Gallo, who, we instantly decided, would make a perfect boyfriend for Jared Leto.
