New York, July 14, 2008 – VitaminWater cooled everybody off celebrating the MLB All-Star game in New York City this week.  The biggest bash was late Monday night at Hudson Terrace way over on Manhattan’s west side where the Mets’ David Wright hosted a star-studded party featuring a midnight performance by 50 Cent.   Even the event’s organizers seemed surprised as more and more celebrities walked down the green Astroturf carpet.  Baseball and basketball pros mingled with music and Hollywood types like Paul Rudd, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Fabolous and Gabrielle Union. 

Is it a new love for Gina Gershon?  One of the first to arrive, the Bound star was hand-in-hand with a guy who she declined to identify.  No one can pass up a 50 Cent concert.  A slew of young stars including Emile Hirsch, Lauren Conrad, Chace Crawford, Blake Lively and Penn Badgley hit up the party after attending the big Dark Knight premiere earlier in the evening. (We did too.)

Hardly anyone realized that Penn Badgley was at the VitaminWater bash – he slipped in unnoticed without posing for photos.  However, we saw him exit with his Gossip Girl co-stars, say goodnight to Crawford and leave with his girlfriend Lively.
