Who knew turning 35 was cause for a celeb-studded celebration?

HotelChatter was able to pop in on Travel + Leisure's 35th Anniversary Party which was held at the W Westwood-Los Angeles.

We arrived expecting a quiet industry party held within the W's new restaurant or bar, and instead we were ushered to the hotel's pool area where the first thing we saw was Rachel Bilson posing on the W/T+L Red Carpet.

This was no industry party (FYI: We chose to step in wet grass and walk around the bathrooms to avoid this red carpet.)

With a Ketel One cosmo in hand, we positioned ourselves perfectly so that we could see the celebs coming into the party without looking stalkerish.

Those rolling in were Emmy Rossum (with bored-looking boyfriend in tow), Gabrielle Beauvais, Jason Sehorn with wife Angie Harmon, Natasha Henstridge, Brooke Burke,(who barely clears 5 feet) with Baywatch boyfriend David Charvet, and making a late entrance was Tori Spelling with her fiancee Dean McDermott. The duo had no qualms making out on the red carpet and McDermott even eagerly rolled up his shirtsleeves so that the paparazzi could get pics of his Tori tattoos.

Unfortunately, we don't have any great pictures because our camera got a bit drunk.

More on the party after the jump.

Travel + Leisure impressed us with their hipness by having the waiters wear black t-shirts that said "Blow." on the front with a candle in place of an "l". We know they meant "Blow out the candles" since the back of the shirt said, "Happy Birthday" but this is L.A. so we weren't sure if we should call the police or inquire.

Also spotted during the party was Kyle Mclachlan and Jody Watley, who we didn't even recognize because of her gigantic afro. We thought we spied Molly Shannon but that was a total bust and one of the W's blonde greeters totally looked like someone once on The O.C. (For the record: We only like the show's first season.) And Us Weekly's executive West Coast editor Ken Baker made himself comfortable in Tori and Dean's cabana all night. So we know there will be some favorable coverage of her next week.

As for the rest of the partygoers, it was a typical publishing/travel industry crowd where it's mostly women and gay men. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.

Aside from trendy drinks (there was a Veuve Clicquot bar and a Ketel One ice bar) the party offered up hand massages from the Bliss spa girls, free photo booth pictures, (yes we admit we jumped into the photo booth with two hot waiters, but you can't see that shot) and sparklers for when the "birthday" cake was rolled out. Seeing that Tori was a big hit at the party, we think they should have offered a booth where you could get Tori Tattoos, fake or real.

If you don't believe we were there, Wire Image has all the shots we didn't get.
