Somewhere, there is a swimming pool. It is on a hilltop overlooking Los Angeles, but on a clear day you can see all the way to New York City. To the right of the pool is a 20-person hot tub, and to the left of the pool is a thatch-roofed open bar, top shelf only. There is a DJ booth, of course, it is IN the pool; a floating DJ booth. Sitting around this pool on golden chaise lounges made of actual solid gold, are the following people: Christina Ricci, Stephen Malkmus, Zadie Smith, Fred Durst, Andy Richter, Wilmer Valderamma, Penelope Cruz, Chris Ware, Jon Gosselin, Jorma Taccone, Mac McCaughan, Brandon Routh, Paula Dean, Chace Crawford, Simon Doonan, Cheri Oteri, Frank Gehry, Denzel Washington and Jason Woliner. In the pool are the following people: Taye Diggs, Miranda July, Duff Goldman, Gregg Gillis, Drew Carey, Zooey Deschanel, Lisa Kudrow, Big Boi, Louis CK, Jesus Luz, AM Homes, Helen Mirren, and Tim Heidecker. In the hot tub are the following people: Wendy Williams, Eric Wareheim, Robin Pecknold, Stephen Spielberg, Samantha Ronson, Damien Hirst, Joan Didion, Sway, and Hendrik Hertzberg. At the bar are the following people: Clint Eastwood, Andy Serkis, Brandon Bird, Terri Gross, Michael Jordan, Charlyne Yi, Stan Lee, Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, Prince, and Peter Dinklage. Looking out over the city are Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Ellen Page. There are other people, too, but it is hard to see their faces, and almost all of them are wearing oversized sunglasses. The music is loud, and the air is fragrant. What a pool this is! (Image via @diplo.)

  1. I didn’t get coco tix, but I will be seeing major lazer in a month, at half the price!

  2. An actor is peeing in this pool. This actor was in a hit network show, that is now off the air. With so many (talented) people in the pool, no one notices what this man has done.

    Not Topher Grace.

  3. Then Diplo thought to himself, hmmm, that was not so Raven.

  4. Terri Gross interviewing Prince while both enjoy glasses of Maker’s neat = my dreams

  5. James Blunt wasn’t there? Lame party.

  6. This isn’t that odd, Diplo is working on an album based on Na’vi music.

    • M.I.A.’s writings about the plight of the Sri Lankan people will work perfectly here, just change Sri Lanka to Pandora

  7. Why is Fred Durst even invited?

  8. They both look Mad Decent in that snap…. Get it?

  9. James Cameron looks like my British grandmother.

    (I’m so sorry, Gran)

    • I used the whole “James Camerson looks like an old lesbian” bit at an Oscar party the other night and everyone just roared. Thanks Videogum, for making me seem clever IRL.

  10. Quite a talent pool party

  11. Diplo updated his status on facebook with ” I am DJing in Central Park with Donald Trump”…. No Joke.

  12. I’m glad Samantha Ronson didn’t bring that milkaholic baby whoshallnotbenamed (by threat of lawsuit)!

  13. James Cameron was reportedly very impressed by this futuristic self-developing analog film technology and vowed to adapt it for his 3D cameras.

  14. Who is that lesbian fraggle standing next to Diplo?

  15. i was sold on this party until the dude from fleet foxes showed up and then i fell asleep instead.

  16. A conversation between Clint Eastwood and Felicia Pearson would be kind of amazing. Why wasn’t THAT what Grand Torino was about? I feel like Hollywood is missing an important voice, by which I mean me. But really all of my ideas are just “Put Snoop from The Wire in that shit!” Today I was watching the Eclipse trailer and I was like… what this shit needs is Snoop from the Wire! And you know what? I am right about that.

  17. Frank Gehry: “These golden chaise lounges look just like one of my garbage buildings.”
    Paula Dean: “I wish these chairs were made of butter.”
    Chris Ware: “Loneliness. Despair.”

  18. Lol Diplo is pretty awful as a person. I see this picture fit.

  19. Why is Die Antwoord not at this party? Is it because they are fake?

  20. Serious question: what’s a diplo?

  21. Can we talk about how Mac McCaughan deserves to sit on a golden chaise lounge always?
