Shaq apparently not a big Patriots fan
With parties abounding on South Beach last night, I managed to get into Shaq's bacchanal which was held at what used to be the Versace Mansion. Best part of the night (besides Pauly Shore showing up) was when The Daddy finally arrived at the party (shortly before 1 a.m.) and began moving through the packed crowd.
This wasn't easy. Shaq is a big boy and was wearing what appeared to be a six-button sport coat, a garment so big one could easily hide several small dogs inside of it. With a crew in tow, he headed towards the back of the pool-side gathering as he shook hands and greeted people along the way.
Patriots QB Tom Brady was standing right nearby me and, as Shaq moved past us, Brady reached out and touched Shaq on the arm trying to get him to stop. Shaq turned and looked at Brady quizzically, then gave him one of those "uh, hi" nods and kept walking. Brady looked sort of embarrassed and stared after him, then sheepishly turned back to his group.
No doubt it was Shaq's strongest rejection of the night.
In other news, Matt Leinart arrived wearing shoddy gray jeans and an oversized white t-shirt - it looked even scrubbier than it sounds. He spent much of the night talking with Andy Roddick (So do you like being famous? Yeah, man, do you?) while Eli Manning and the "other" Manning brother, Cooper, hung out. Reggie Miller, T.O., Michael Strahan and an ungodly amount of models were also in the house.
Biggest lesson I learned? Celebrity parties are pretty much the same as regular-people parties except that almost everyone there is taller.
