Their wild romp through the streets of Hollywood in search of the reception, takes them to club after club - including the trendy "Vapor" Room and even into the home of famous actor Darby Tipp. After being thrown out of parties, terrorized by a psycho bartender, and chased by police it seems Lily will never find her man - or will she?

Cast

Production

Claudia Schiffer sang all of the songs performed by her character herself.[citation needed]

Having already had her earlobes pierced shortly beforehand especially for her part in Black & White, Claudia Schiffer had the cartilage in both ears pierced multiple times for her part in this film. She also had her nose and belly button pierced, especially for this film. Following the end of filming, she removed all of the piercings (including her earlobes) and allowed them to close up again.[citation needed]
