Last month, Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon put out a hilarious video/song called, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/2/1/123956/5287/hotels/Sarah_Silverman_and_Matt_Damon_Do_It_at_the_Delano_Hotel">"I'm F-ing Matt Damon"</a> which was filmed at Miami Beach's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Delano+Hotel/local/16">Delano Hotel</a>.For a while now we heard Jimmy Kimmel would do a video response called, "I'm F-ing Ben Affleck" and here it is. This video was filmed at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hollywood+Roosevelt+Hotel/local/11">Hollywood Roosevelt.</a>.We still love the original, but this is pretty funny. Brad Pitt appears as a FedEx man, and there's a "We Are the World" type of scene that has tons of celebs and musicians from Cameron Diaz to Robin Williams

Hollywood: Jessica Simpson Brings Latest Conquest Tony Romo to Hollywood Roosevelt

What does Jessica Simpson do when she has a new man in her life? Well, she makes sure that she is photographed with him at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

JSimp and Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo hit up VIP club Teddy's to help celebrate her ex-assistant Cacee Cobb's 30th birthday on Saturday night. Since Jess is such a frequent visitior, perhaps would care to comment on our OpenThread about service at Thompson Hotels?

Hollywood: Inside the Hollywood Roosevelt

We spent Saturday night at the Hollywood Roosevelt and we picked probably the biggest night of the year at the hotel to stay there---the night of the Hollywood Roosevelt Halloween party.

The entire hotel--from the lobby to Teddy's to Tropicana--was transformed into one big Halloween party. Funny enough, we were headed to a different Halloween party at Social Hollywood (also attended by a certain scary but famous clown.)

Security was tight on every front of the hotel but fortunately for us, once we let them know we were hotel guests (each security outpost had a list of guest names) we were ushered inside.

Hollywood: Prince's First Concert at Hollywood Roosevelt Doesn't Include You and Your Friends

juliana — 2007-06-25T10:20:13-05:00

While we skulked around Hollywood Boulevard just as Prince's first show at the Hollywood Roosevelt was about to start, the LA Times was inside, walking the purple carpet amongst "200 beautiful people" and sitting three feet away from Prince as he jammed throughout the night. And it was a long night.

The paper reports that Prince didn't show up for the later, more intimate jazz session until 4am. But despite some sound problems (the LA Times blames that on the hotel's Blossom Room which was "expected in a room that's also been used for bar mitzvahs"), the night went off without a hitch.
