Daily News Record, February 7, 2001, by Jennifer Hoyden "Battaglia's Big 4-0; Rodeo Drive's oldest store marks its birthday with a big bash" ----------------------------------------------------------- Los Angeles -- ... Valentine's Night Maxim has made lots of money knowing that sex sells -- so they went for something a little risque at their post- premiere party for Valentine, the semi-comic slasher flick, last Thursday. Eager hostesses in innocent pajamas greeted guests on their arrival with an offer to be fed a whipped-cream-dipped strawberry. However, most disappointed the girls and kept up a quick pace to get to the main hall, where unconventionally punk cheerleaders on elevated platforms whipped their hips and insufficient hemlines to loud dance music for, shall we say, maxim-um exposure. Joining the film's stars, including David Boreanaz, Marley Shelton, Katherine Heigl and Jessica Capshaw, were a who's who of Young Hollywood, including Shannon Elizabeth, Jerry O'Connell, Taye Diggs, Laura Prepon and Danny Masterson. There was also a slew of Boreanaz's Buffy the Vampire Slayer castmates, including Amber Benson, Anthony Stewart Head, Charisma Carpenter and Nicholas Brendon. They all acted like perfect angels. ----------------------------------------------------------- Bentley's Bedlam http://www.BetsyDa.com/bedlam.html This website is for information and entertainment purposes only and is not intended to infringe on copyrights held by others.
