Guests at the Time, CNN, People and Fortune party at the St. Regis on Friday night were all atwitter about the attendance of Bristol Palin... although some confused her with one of the Kardashian sisters.

Here's looking at you kid.

CEO & Chairman of the MPAA Chris Dodd

It would have taken a Herculean effort to transport the 16 pound goodie bag offered to guests at the Time, CNN, People, Fortune party at The St. Regis over to The MPAA soiree only a block away, so most guests doing the duel event cabbed it.

Former Senator Chris Dodd, newly appointed Chairman and CEO of The Motion Picture Association of America, held an intimate and elegant party to jump-start his new career.  He replaces Dan Glickman, Former Secretary of Agriculture under President Clinton, who replaced veteran MPAA head Jack Valenti. 

Hollywood’s chief lobbyist had the support of big time donors Barbara Streisand, Sony's Howard Stringer and Time Warner's Jeffrey Bewkes during his presidential bid, so we expect he’ll earn his salary.

Seen: Wolff and Lynn Blitzer, Senator Patrick Leahy, Nicole Boxer, Soroush and Nancy Bagley Shehabi, Ann Compton and Greta van Susteren with spouse John Coales, sans the Palins.

You load sixteen pounds and what do you get?

Country crooner Tennessee Ernie Ford would have been impressed by the goodie bag from the People Magazine party at the St. Regis on Friday night, although Ford’s magic number was 16 tons.

So what did you get?  Scroll down and take a peek inside.

Guests were all a twitter about Bristol Palin, some even confusing her with one of the Kardashian sisters.  Surrounded by the ever Palin presence of Fox New’s Greta van Susteren and spouse John Coales, she was sweet, but not talking...........about anything that one may want to talk to her about.
