Out of the hundreds of VMA parties of the weekend, Saturday evening’s Xomad/BBM lounge party was probably the most talked about party! For those of you who are social media elitists and BBM addicts, you probably got invited to this super exclusive Beverly Hills party and had a chance to rub shoulders with some of the Hollywood’s most high-profile celebs.

Some VIP guests including Lady Gaga, Ne-Yo, Jessica Alba, David Beckham were invited for a pre-dinner at the mansion before the mayhem began. All other guests still got VIP treatment starting with a personal limo ride from the bottom of the hill to the top accompanied by a BBM model who took drink and food orders catered by Philippe Chow via Blackberry devices.

Many other celebrities enjoyed the night, including Akon, DJ Pauly D, Vinny Guadagnino, Hilary Duff, and Sean Kingston. Ne-Yo had a surprise performance around 1:30am, and the party did not end til 4 in the morning! With such long partying hours, and the constant tweeting, facebooking, and BBMing, this BBM lounge party had fresh fully charged batteries to give out all night to those who wanted to keep using their phones, and many people did take advantage of this.

There was also a live BBM feed on large movie screens for those at the party who wanted to make announcements. Each person who attended also received a giftbag with a pair of BCBG sunglasses and BCBG cocktail ring. Welcome to 2010, where social networking mingles with the nightlife.
