The demolition party that went down at the The Hotel Royal Monceau in Paris wasn't just any old party. This is Paris after all and the hotel managed to make their demolition artistic by inviting 25 contemporary artists and celebs to "artistically ruin" the hotel rooms on the third floor.

On hand for the crazy/beautiful destruction were Kanye West, Jude Law, and 18-year-old internet celebrity Cory Kennedy.

WWD reports:

"I'm gonna smash everything," yelled Cory Kennedy, rushing into Andre and Olympia Scarry's all-black room, fitted out with battered couches and a giant disco ball. Kanye West, who roamed the corridors with a bemused-looking Yves Carcelle, said that trashing hotel rooms was old hat. "Yeah, you know, the usual throwing the telly out of the window type of thing," he said.

The AFP has a more detailed report of the party, including the fun fact that Madonna's "Justify My Love" video was shot here in the hotel.

Meanwhile Philippe Starck was on hand at the party dishing about his renovations plans for the hotel. He also said he's more focused on "democratic eco-friendly projects." He even mentioned a green building in LA that he's working on and while he couldn't elaborate he said it was going to be "big."

We wonder: Is he referring to SLS Hotel, now scheduled to open in December 2008? Possibly.
