d-list weekend

my friend marissa (pictured, right) celebrated her 30th birthday this past weekend, and we somehow managed to bring in a few d-list celebs to help her celebrate. the party was in a posh suite at the loews vanderbilt hotel, and it all started when we decided to head down to the lobby bar and find her some eye candy.

moments after sitting down, dancing with the stars champion and 98 degrees alum drew lachey (you know, nick’s little brother) walked through the door. “marissa’s a huge fan,” we told him, and he agreed to have a photo taken with her. (he declined to come upstairs to the party, saying it would be “inappropriate.”)

after a quick chat, we headed toward the elevators to return to the soiree. marissa, who at this point was slightly tipsy, immediately noticed the guy also going up. “oh, harry hamlin,” she said, matter-of-factly. he just grunted - he obviously was not happy about sharing the elevator with us. but there he was, trapped, so marissa struck up a conversation with him, wishing him good luck as he bid us adieu.

it was a memorable moment for us all, but especially the birthday girl. check out a naughty photo from the late-night shindig after the jump.
