Other Details: This "All-Star" crowd came together to celebrate sports, girls, and heavy-handed product endorsements, such as Ray J feeling the need to pose for the cameras and model not one, but two baseball hats. While guests kept busy throwing up peace signs "hey, check out my hat" hand gestures for photos, Russell Westbrook looked like he could have charmed any mother with his shiny grin. As usual for any Playboy-sponsored event, there were plenty of men, boobs, and bunnies. The only thing missing here was a keg stand for this frat-tastic gathering. [Russell Westbrook photo via]
