Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Cee Lo Green, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler. With pop stars, R&B singers and long-haired rockers galore at parties following the Academy Awards, the glam festivities felt more like the Grammys than Hollywood's biggest night honoring film.
At Vanity Fair's packed, exclusive bash at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower Hotel, just one of several soirees Sunday, A-list musicians mingled with Oscar nominees and winners from one corner of the room to the other.
A just-turned-17-year-old Bieber, wearing all black and sporting a new, shorter haircut, showed off his affection for Disney actress Selena Gomez. The pair snuggled in a patio booth, holding hands, then later bear-hugged 14-year-old "True Grit" best supporting actress nominee Hailee Steinfeld. Teen singing sensation Bieber clutched his iPhone, which depicted a photo of him with Gomez as its home screen, as they ran out of the party before midnight.
Close by, country-pop star Taylor Swift, statuesque in a sparkling Zuhair Murad mini dress, kept close to friend and actress Emma Stone. Swift later stole away to meet up with Jake Gyllenhaal, who she has been linked to in the past. The two spoke in hushed tones by the women's restroom. Swift left the party alone.
By the time "Black Swan" actress Natalie Portman arrived with her best actress Oscar statuette in one hand, and her fiance Benjamin Millepied gripping the other, the party was in full swing. Accepting congratulations left and right, a tired but happy looking Portman, pregnant with her first child, left after only 20 minutes.
Celebrity guests sipped champagne, and chomped on modest fare, from In-N-Out burgers to mini churros and Krispy Kreme donut holes. The Rolling Stones' Jagger text messaged off to the side while Aerosmith singer turned new "American Idol" judge Tyler chatted with snowboarder Shaun White, both of them sporting their customary shaggy manes of hair. Famed full-bearded music producer Rick Rubin hung out near DJ and singer Moby.
