Prior to the Oscars ceremony on Sunday, numerous high-profile celebrities graced the red carpet, but the glitz and glamour didn’t start there. In fact, leading up to the event, a variety of private pre-Oscar gatherings and parties took place where stars received thousands of dollars in complimentary goods and had opportunities to network and unwind before the official announcement of awards.

Exclusive Insight: We Gained a Backstage Pass to the Venues Where Chris Brown Celebrated and Chris Rock Enjoyed Meals Prior to the Oscars.

Prior to the glamorous event at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that comedian Chris Rock enjoyed breakfast at the renowned Chateau Marmont, sharing a meal with a few male friends.

60-year-old Chris made his return to Vanity Fair’s Oscars Afterparty, an event he last attended three years after the now-famous Will Smith slap incident. Accompanied by his 20-year-old daughter Zahra Savannah Rock, they graced the star-filled gathering on Sunday night.

As I savored my morning meal at the go-to spot for A-listers, where a simple bagel with lox sets you back by thirty bucks, I was privy to the hustle and bustle behind the scenes of the upcoming Netflix Oscars bash.

The Chateau Marmont was the venue for Jay-Z and Beyonce’s Oscar Awards post-party, an event that attracted attendees like Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet.

Over the weekend, Hollywood elite extended their evenings socializing at L.A.’s exclusive events, ahead of the upcoming day. Particularly, The Hills district drew a crowd as onlookers gathered outside lavish estates, eager to catch a peek at their beloved celebrities.

Each year, Darren Dzienciol hosts a pre-Oscar bash, co-sponsored by Utopia, at the extravagant Sheats-Goldstein mansion, valued around $75 million. Notable figures such as Chris Brown, Amber Rose, Bruno Mars, Landon Barker, and Shaboozey graced the event.

At the stylish event, funds were raised for Global Empowerment Mission LA Wildfire Relief, with El Cristiano tequila as the sponsor. Notably, the music lineup included a performance by DJ Diplo.

Amber appeared dramatically different, sporting long, blond tresses, while Chris Brown was seen socializing at a private table surrounded by several women, according to an informant who spoke to DailyMail.com.

The insider noted that he was ‘getting touchy all night with one mystery woman in particular.’

Chris seemed particularly drawn towards a lady with wavy, dark tresses, who appeared to be in her twenties. Her attire consisted of a miniskirt and a halter-neck top.

At a certain moment, she gently placed her hands on his face, suggesting she might have been about to initiate a kiss. However, mindful of being photographed, he avoided any sign of kissing, as there were cameras present at the gathering. This tidbit was shared by an informed source.

I couldn’t help but notice how deeply smitten they were – their hands intertwined and grins stretching from ear to ear, leaving no doubt of their affection.”

“It was crystal clear that they were head over heels for each other. They were so engrossed, they didn’t even realize I saw them holding hands with radiant smiles on their faces.

According to an inside source, the performer departed from the gathering about 2 in the morning, accompanied by a cluster of females, among whom was the one he had been flirting with throughout the evening.

In addition to the numerous Oscars-related events held over the weekend, this year’s gifting lounges focused not only on providing celebrities with free trips and merchandise, but also on contributing to the aid of communities impacted by wildfires.

Starting on Thursday, nominees for the Oscars received invitations to visit the Enchant gifting suite, which was organized by The Marianna Group, in partnership with Kiss My Paws Animal Rescue.

Notable figures such as Whoopi Goldberg, Tom Sandoval, Lance Bass, Christopher McDonald, and Neil Patrick Harris, who visited the suite, were likewise invited to join a “charity event”, aimed at helping those affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles.

At the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, Nathalie Dubois recently organized The DPA Diamond Lounge, a well-known event that previously welcomed Meghan Markle. This occasion showcased an impressive 32 global brands spread across five distinct suites.

Dubois Pelin and Associates (DPA) generously offered a space in their suite for the benefit of This Girl Walks Into a Bar cocktail mixers, a brand co-owned by two sisters, with one having unfortunately lost her home due to fires.

As a connoisseur of fine living, I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pearson Brothers Winery and sampling their exquisite line of sparkling wines. What sets these beverages apart is their unique creation process: they’re made with wildflower honey! The winery set up a pop-up tasting for guests to experience this delectable treat firsthand, and I must say, it was an unforgettable taste sensation that I highly recommend.

At The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood, stars such as Cynthia Bailey from The Real Housewives of Atlanta were in attendance for the 2nd Yearly Gurus Magazine pre-Oscar Getaway, hosted by Derek Warburton.

On a splendid Saturday, I found myself immersed in pure bliss at an opulent retreat, orchestrated by none other than Clean Living Magazine, nestled within the prestigious neighborhood of Bel Air. This $65 million Mediterranean masterpiece was my playground for the day, brimming with a multitude of vendors eager to bestow gifts upon us and introduce their exquisite luxury brands.
