Two of America’s most popular Jewish celebrities, Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill, performed separately at Vice’s 20th anniversary party. Vice held a party for itself Friday in the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s Duggal Greenhouse with a musical festival of sorts.
A wide variety of celebs, musicians, actors and the like, were seen binge drinking and partying like they were themselves celebrating their 20th birthdays at a college frat party. That seemed to be the theme of the night.
