79th Annual Academy Awards - Oscars 2007

It has been almost a week since sis and I held our annual, star-studded Oscar party.

In addition to our usual clique of stars and musicians...


...we were visited this year by a number of celebrities including Uma Thurmann , John Travolta, and Bob Hope! Clearly some stars view the Seaberg Sisters' party as more important than the Governor's Ball (and heaven in Bob's case).

Hilari has actually attended the Academy Awards! She went the year Bjork wore a dead swan. So, technically, Hilari was the guest with the most star power. On the Hollywood red carpet the photographer would say "Date, step aside please." On the Seaberg red carpet we know Timo, so he is allowed in the picture.

Tom Petty showed up for a few laughs:

And some Clickorice:

Uma Thurmann and John Travolta:

Of course John is playing Tracy Turnblad's MOTHER in the movie hairspray so he's just practicing. Really.

Bob Hope showed up fashionably late and announced there are martinis in heaven:

It didn't take Bob long to hook up with a hottie and dazzle the other guests:

The hostess presented the chocolate Oscar to Uma for winning the ballot:
