Remember when Charlize dated Third Eye Blind? He looks like every vaguely sweaty guy at a bar in 2000 here. (I will say that "Semi-Charmed Life" is a GREAT song and at this point he was arguably more famous than she was, which is why Charlize Theron is at an MTV party for an album called, regrettably, "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" which was held -- again, regrettably -- at the Playboy Mansion.)

"I gotta get out of here. I'm not even taking off my coat. In September in Los Angeles."
Shane West

Shane West's Wikipedia ALSO informs us that he really loves LSU. (He was on Once and Again at this point, but had NOT yet made the movie where Mandy Moore dies of knee cancer, a film that I, regrettably, saw in the movie theatre.)
Edward Furlong

I sincerely thought he was dead, but he is NOT. (He's had issues with substance abuse and the law, but seems to be on an upward trajectory. I think he had a really tough row to hoe as a kid and I'm glad he's doing okay! Also this jacket might be low-key great.)
Sisqo

Yes, this WAS the summer of "The Thong Song." That beeper there is SO of the time!

This seems very on brand; I will note that those shoes are great.
Paul Sorvino and Teri Weinberg

I do not know why Paul Sorvino is there. (He is also not dead.)
Devon Sawa and Danielle Fishel

I also thought HE was dead, and he's not. He, in fact, just appeared in a film directed BY Fred Durst, so this was a long-lasting love between them. (Why do I think all these people are dead?!) (Also, judging from her scrunchie, this was during Danielle Fisher's Heather Number One period.)
Fred Durst

Speaking of, it seems like a miracle he's not giving us the finger.
Mark McGrath

This seems very on brand. (He has NOT AGED.)
Verne Troyer

Sadly, he is definitely no longer with us.

Ananda! I have questions about the fabric makeup of those trousers!
Alyson Hannigan

CONGRATS to Alyson Hannigan, who is wearing the item of clothing that has aged best and can look back at this moment and think, "I wore a great coat to a Limp Bizkit party at the Playboy Mansion in 2000!"
Howie D

Howie D can also look back on this and not be OVERTLY horrified. I'm also fairly confident that Pacey Witter owned this shirt.
Kimberly Stewart

And Kim Stewart's denim jacket is a classic; she could wear that today.

They have since divorced but he allegedly still is her manager?

In which Rob Zombie is technically dressed like a cozy New Englander prepster in a chunky navy knit sweater and jeans that lace up like sailor pants.
Ashton Kutcher and Debbie Harry

Remember when they dated?!! (Just kidding. I think.)
