What: New Year's Eve
Who did what with who?

Britney Spears at Pure in Las Vegas; Christina Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman at the Heineken party at the Hudson Hotel in New York City; Noel Fielding and Courtney Love at a party hosted by Carmen Electra in Los Angeles; Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo at Times Square Studios before heading to Marquee; Heidi Klum and Seal at the Aspen Peak party in Aspen Colo.; Jessica Simpson and John Mayer at the Hudson Hotel.

In Aspen, private parties took place at The Sky, Bruno's, Cantina, Elevation, Pacifica and beyond. Eric's, The Little Nell and Bar Aspen opened their doors for a cover charge including complimentary Champagne toasts at the midnight hour. Aspen Peak hosted their annual New Year's Eve bash at the Sundeck for Heidi Klum, Seal and a few hundred of the magazine's closest friends and associates. Guests likened the lift line that snaked through the gondola plaza that night to one found first thing on a powder day.

Dec. 31 was an action-packed evening on the streets and in establishments around the valley. While some opted to avoid the late-night revelry in favor of skinning up to a hut and taking it easy under the crescent moon, others howled till the wee hours.
