Ne-Yo After Party

That miserable feeling of the "long-line reality check" ...

For some us, it's as simple as seeing said line — whether to get into the new Will Smith movie, a Miley Cyrus autograph-signing session or to purchase playoff tickets — and its ridiculous length. You know there's no way you're getting to the front in a timely fashion, so you give up.

Others, like the dozens trying to get into Ne-Yo's pre-Grammys party here, which was hosted by Def Jam Recordings and Microsoft Zune, at Hollywood 86 on Saturday night, are so relentless they get in said line. They wait, wait, wait ... until a police officer, or in this case a fire marshal, tells them to go home. It is kind of tough to put your tail between your legs and bail after you've dressed up all hoity-toity and have seen all these other beautiful people get in with either their pure legendary status — as in the case of Stevie Wonder — or some serious verbal Olympics ... or running game on the gatekeeper at the door ... or doing some politicking so serious Barack Obama would hire you for his campaign ... or, of course, if you happen to be with MTV News!

On Saturday night, a fire marshal literally shut Ne-Yo's door — counting the number of people who left before he'd let others in — before the four-time Grammy nominee had even arrived. When he got there, waiting for him inside were the likes of Jay-Z, Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long, while Chrisette Michele and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls greeted him on the red carpet.

"It wasn't supposed to be this big," Ne-Yo explained about the enormity of his little get-together, which was also in honor of Jay, Kanye West, Rihanna and all the other Def Jam-related artists nominated for Grammy Awards.
