Kobe Bryant’s NBA Bash — Not All VIPs Welcome
Kobe Bryant is hosting an ULTRA-exclusive Hollywood party during All-Star weekend — but TMZ has learned everyone in the VIP section must pass a “screening process” before they’ll be allowed near the NBA superstar Saturday night. The party is supposed to be INSANE — with organizers dropping roughly $50,000 to give Boulevard 3 nightclub an Asian-themed makeover in honor of Kobe enshrining his hands and feet at Grauman’s Chinese Theater earlier that day. But not just any schmuck with a wad of cash will be allowed to get all schmoozy with Kobe — event producer Jeru Tillman tells us they will have a vigorous screening process for anyone who wants to purchase a VIP table near Kobe’s private section. And for the fans who can’t cross the VIP rope … we’re told there will be plenty of other cool stuff at the party — including a 15-foot custom made dragon.
