The girls head off to the party, which is sponsored by SmartWater. Renee is still wearing the scarf on her head. The hell? They introduce themselves under their new names, and I almost die when Dionne goes up to the DJ and says, "I'm Wholahay." For some reason, Bill Maher is at the party, but not dressed as a dead Anna Nicole Smith. Sarah says that she's really excited about the party, because with her photography, one of the things that she's done a lot of is networking. I have to say that if there's one thing in the world I hate, it's networking. At parties, I like to sit in the corner nursing a drink and thinking about how much cooler I'd be if my name were Wholahay. Whitney and some of the other girls meet Tia and Tamera Mowry, the twins who had that show about being twins, but are not the Olsens. Whitney interviews that it was a big deal to be at such a "celebrity-clad" [sic] event. Other celebrity notables at the event include Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, and some guy named Jason from Laguna Beach. Jael goes up to Jason and says that she thinks he's real lame. They all laugh. Yeah, it's funny until you try to do it to Fitty. And speaking of...the girls meet 50 Cent! He says that Nayien (a.k.a. Renee) looks like a model for real. Mr. Cent must have a thing for head scarves.
At this point, Whitney said that she noticed an all-white room behind the pool, in which she saw Benny Medina. Renee tells us that he's a very influential person in the entertainment industry. And, I am quite certain, an evil genius. Doesn't everything about him -- from his white suit to his beady eyes to Mariah Carey association -- just scream evil genius? A guy comes over to Whitney and says that Benny would like to meet her, and escorts her inside. Whitney says that Benny Medina is the type of person who could make or break your career. Or, I'm assuming, just kill you off. I mean, right? There are a whole slew of other people in the room including Tyra's agent, a scary-looking "entrepreneur" named Nikki Haskell, and supermodel Beverly Johnson. Benny makes fun of Whitney's super-self name of "Whitelle," and says that she's in a world of Madonnas and Beyoncés. And I'm sorry, but what was your reaction the first time you heard the name "Beyoncé"? It sounds like a brand of paper towels. We've just become used to it, is all.
