Forget tonight's Vanity Fair party!It looks like Oscar weekend is turning out to be all about the pre-parties. I have tons to tell you, so make sure to keep coming back to my column all during Oscar day, but first, let's talk Giorgio Armani.The legendary designer's pre-Oscar debut at gazillionaire Ron Burkle's estate Saturday night was, as one seasoned fashionista described it, "intense."The evening included a showing of the Giorgio Armani Privé Spring Summer 2007 Collection. "There was a celebrity in every seat in the front rows," one guest told me. "It was overwhelming."The 400 attendees included Lance Armstrong, Cate Blanchett, Beyoncé, Adrien Brody, Naomi Campbell, Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Penélope Cruz, Faye Dunaway, Clint Eastwood, Andy Garcia, Al Gore, Josh Hartnett, Katie Holmes, Anjelica Huston, Angie Harmon, Anne Hathaway, Lauren Hutton, Joshua Jackson, Quincy Jones, Chris Kattan, Anthony Kiedis, Diane Kruger, Jason Lewis, Olivier Martinez, Debi Mazar, Dylan McDermott, Helen Mirren, Sandra Oh, Clive Owen, Sidney Poitier, Natalie Portman, Martin Scorsese, Channing Tatum, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Gore Vidal, Dita Von Teese, Mark Wahlberg, Mischa Barton and Ziyi Zhang.For exclusive photos, go to www.giorgioarmaniinla.com.By Marc Malkin
