Nick Lachey's 'Super' Party
Access Hollywood was on the scene as Nick Lachey and NASCAR racer Jimmie Johnson hosted a pre-Super Bowl part at Axis/Radius in Scottsdale, Arizona. Here’s what we saw…
9:20PM - As the stars begin to trickle in, the R&B group Next arrives. Their hit song “Too Close” starts to rain from the club speakers. How did the DJ know they were here?!? Truly Hollywood magic at its finest.
9:30PM - Proving the red carpet can indeed be a laughing matter, funnyman David Spade arrives donning a baseball cap as usual. A few smiles for the cameras and the fans and he quickly makes his way inside.
9:42PM - Showing his propensity for the outdoors and an apparent immunity from mother nature, a sleeveless “American Gladiator” Wolf storms the red carpet with a smile....and a howl. Get it? Mother nature… he’s a wolf. No? Ok, moving on…
9:53PM – As we’ve seen all week in the Phoenix area, the line between sports and celebrity has once again been blurred as a plethora of pro baseball players arrive, including the likes of Reggie Sanders, Geoff Jenkins, Matt Kemp and Aaron Boone.
10:23 – About an hour after their arrival, Next is now on stage and that same hit song has played about three times since their arrival, prompting most to ask the obvious yet unavoidable question -- what's NEXT?!?
10:50PM – The red carpet is buzzing in anticipation. Something is coming. What could it be?
10:55PM - That something is in fact the host of the evening, Mr. Nick Lachey along with his lady love Vanessa Minnillo and fellow host NASCAR stud Jimmie Johnson and his wife. Very quickly the Scottsdale night is illuminated by a sea of flash bulbs capturing the moment. The packed house at Axis/Radius is sent into a frenzy. Hard to believe any other club ANYWHERE is a hotter spot tonight than this glitz and glam oasis in the desert.
10:58PM - Arriving with much less fanfare, but not slipping past my keen eye, is 2007 World Series of Poker champ Jamie Gold. Hey when you make a cool $12 million for playing a week's worth of poker, you get mentioned here.
11:12PM - Is there a doctor in the house? In fact there's two of them – everyone’s favorite TV slicers and dicers, Dylan Walsh and Julian McMahon (aka McNamara/Troy) from "Nip / Tuck," arrive and do a quick interview with Access before posing with some very happy fans.
11:42PM – We’re calling it a night folks. It’s darn cold in the desert. Yes, that’s right. Cold. Desert. Brrrrrrrr. Who would’ve thunk it?!? Until tomorrow…
