Party at H’wood & vibe

THERE were so many stars on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party Sunday night that there was a line for them to get in front of the cameras.

While waiting, one boomer guest got a text from someone already inside.

“‘It’s a real vibe,’ ” she read off her phone. “What’s that mean?” she asked her husband.

“I think it’s good? It’s good,” he translated. “Like, ‘It’s a good vibe!’ ”

One director was escorted in by his publicist. “No pictures,” he told her, so that he could bypass the logjam and head straight into the venue.

Where else could a guest spot “Star Wars” guru J.J. Abrams standing next to cult movie auteur John Waters as Beck bonded with Judd Apatow over comedy and “Schitt’s Creek” star Catherine O’Hara stood at the bar beside LeBron James.

On a night when one top agent surveyed the party and wondered aloud whether there were any “real” movie stars left in Hollywood — as fragmentation and uncertainty dog showbiz — the Vanity Fair guest who exerted the most wattage in the room was James. Literally larger than life as he towered above partygoers, the NBA legend lit up the place in a pair of oversize shades, a white dinner jacket with a gold brooch on the chest pocket and Tom Cruiselevels of charismatic energy.

Other pop cultural pairings were less taxing to process, like Kim Kardashian talking to Lindsay Lohan.

At the end of the night, a valet called out “Russell? Russell?” as a two-tone MercedesMaybach with Colorado plates pulled up.

Recently released Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara, got in. Wilson is moving to the Steelers, so maybe they were driving from Denver to Pittsburgh?

Perhaps proving the night’s more about parties than movies, one high-profile guest was overheard asking, “Who won Best Picture?”
