Red Carpet Confidential: A Brief Encounter With DJ AM

I fondly remember DJ AM spinning tunes poolside during a soiree held at a sprawling Hamptons home in July 2004.

He seemed very content; he had “the life.”

The event, PlayStation 2 and Jay-Z Debut the S. Carter Tennis Shoe, brought out scenesters including then-couple Paris Hilton and Nick Carter, Samantha Ronson and Robert Iler.

Paris, wearing a coral dress, sauntered by the booth to say “hello” to AM. She swept by the pool, leading my boyfriend to immediately call pals, saying “I’m at a party with Paris Hilton!”
