TMZ-
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.
A vigorous screening process just to be in the mere presences of the great Kobe Bryant? What are the qualifications that get you through? You have to either have lots of money or be an attractive 19-year old hotel employee from Eagle Colorado? Great that this guy is getting his ego stroked even more by getting his hands and feet enshrined at the Chinese Theater. Is there a less likable athlete in all of sports? This is the only guy in the NBA you see on camera kiss his wife and kids in the tunnel right after every game. Think of how many other athletes you have seen do that once let alone every game night. This guys image is a joke. Fabricated and rebuilt for all of us to believe he is a nice family man. Fuckin guy makes me sick
Shit! There is going to be a 15 foot custom made dragon for people to see that can't get into the VIP section? Nice, I'm sure you can also get to hangout with all those diddlers wandering the streets in Superman and Spiderman costumes too.
No, this bitterness has nothing to do with the fact I am from Boston.
Get the fuck away from me Elmo. I'm not in the mood
