Last night to celebrate their big arrival into LAX, JetBlue threw a party with VH1's Save The Music foundation at the Hollywood Club du Nuit, MyHouse. Yes, that's the place with the bed upstairs. And yes, we sat on it and took pictures.

The night was largely about Save The Music and people in Hollywood than JetBlue. Still, JetBlue made their presence known with the flight attendants serving the famous blue Terra chips and the bartenders outfitted in JetBlue LA t-shirts. Blue Malibu rum drinks and champagne were served and everyone walked away with a JetBlue gift bag full of LA and NYC goodies as well as a good-sized bottle of the Absolut 100 vodka. (It was definitely not the TSA-approved three ounces.)

It's no surprise that JetBlue chose to do up their LA debut in such a large way, what with Richard Branson popping champagne off the wings of his V Australia planes and showing up for every new Virgin America launch. Let's face it: the competition is on between JetBlue and Virgin America to become THE airline for the young, the hip, the famous and the bicoastal. The only edge we see right now is that VA has first class which is more conducive to celebrity privacy. (Unless we're sitting behind them!)

But enough airline analysis here. Let's get to the party deets. We don't do the Hollywood club scene and we naively thought the party would be filled with travel nerds and airline geeks like ourselves. But we were way wrong. With VH1 in the house, the wannabes of Hollywood were out in full force. And that meant short dresses, hair extensions and random celebrity sightings.

·Celeb Sightings: Michael Raymond-James (Rene From True Blood), Willie Garson aka Stanford Blatch from SATC, Vanessa Minnillo and Stacey Keibler. We also had the opportunity to share a couch with Alli Sims--Britney Spears' bad influence of a cousin. There were rumors that Queen Latifah and Diddy would be there but when we left at 11:30 there was no sight of them.

· Music: Johnny Reznick from the late-90s sensation GooGoo Dolls sang a brief three-song set including "Broadway Goes Dark Tonight." The cheers were polite. But the mood drastically changed when Robin Thicke performed about five songs, some of which he just sang along to with a track and some which he sat down at the piano and sang.

Girls were screaming and the cameras were flashing non-stop. Two girls next to us pushed us out of the way so they could get pictures of themselves sitting on the stage with Robin Thicke in the background. Then they started taking pictures of his butt with their Blackberries. *Sigh* Hollywood.

So what does this party report have to do with JetBlue and travel? Absolutely nothing. But it was a good excuse for us to leave our house during the week.
