Ross Bleckner and J. C. Chasez Take in the Sights
(7/25/02)

Kelly Klein knows how to get the music started. About two hours into the recent fifth annual Dance at Sunset at the Sunset Beach Hotel on Shelter Island, D.J. David Chang's sound system blew a fuse and co-host Klein had to run around frantically to fix the mishap. Two hours later, the music died again for another ten minutes. Between power outages, a very wide-eyed 'N Sync–er, J. C. Chasez, was squeezed between two bikini-clad women for some bumping and grinding to his band's hit "Girlfriend," as Alex von Furstenberg sprayed them with Taittinger champagne. Chasez backed off when Chang put on Nelly's "Hot in Herre" and ogled the two women from the sidelines as they did their own dirty dancing. Chasez wasn't the only one getting an eyeful. As co-host Ross Bleckner surveyed the dance floor with Claudia Cohen, a young man wearing only a pink Hello Kitty towel walked by. Cohen cooed to Bleckner, "Oh, he's definitely your type." For the record, Bleckner just smiled and made his way home. The bash raised more than $100,000 for the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America.
