Madonna Holds Last-Minute Pre-Oscar Party

Prior to the end of the writers’ strike, most of the regular pre-Oscar parties were cancelled. But never fear! Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary, and Demi Moore came up with a last-minute solution, and stars like Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, and Christian Slater showed up in droves.

Fresh out of the Cirque Lodge Rehab Center in Orem, Utah, Eva Mendes showed her face at the CAA shindig, wearing a black and white belted dress complete with black knee-high leather boots and a black jacket.

A recently reclusive Owen Wilson also made an appearance at Madonna’s party. The “Wedding Crashers” stud wasn’t too keen on having his picture taken, though. He covered his face to avoid the paparazzi getting a clear shot of him.

And Christian Slater had his party gear on, sporting a slick dark suit overtop a brilliant blue collared shirt. He brought his Sharpie along for any autograph seekers.

Also making appearances were Casey Affleck, John Mayer, Jared Leto, Sean Penn, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane, among others.
