Pulling out all the stops for Kris! Kris Jenner celebrated her 60th birthday in extravagant style with a Great Gatsby-themed bash at The Lot in West Hollywood on Friday, Nov. 6, and the Kardashian matriarch was showered with plenty of love from friends and family alike.
The black-tie event kicked off with a cocktail hour where Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble greeted guests, including John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, Tommy Hillfiger, Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing, and longtime family friend Ryan Seacrest, a source tells Us.
Also in attendance were Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rina, Jonathan Cheban, Kyle Richards, and Kathy and Rick Hilton.
The momager was “so emotional the whole night and crying from happiness in some parts,” the source tells Us of the birthday girl.
Her daughters — Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie — were all in attendance, and made a video that they screened during the fancy fete.
According to the insider, the sentimental clip included all the girls in a recording studio singing an original song they wrote — with the help of Kim’s husband Kanye West — called “You Love Your Friends.” (The video was a parody of a 1985 video called "I Love My Friends" that went viral on YouTube.)
“It was very funny and campy and had funny lyrics about how much Kris loves her friends,” the source said. “The girls would sing the verses and in between each verse it would cut to a video of someone from one of Kris’s favorite places or people singing, ‘You love your friends.’”
The very last scene was perhaps the biggest surprise of all: Kris’ ex Caitlyn Jenner in a hot tub giving a warm toast to the guest of honor. (The I Am Cait star was unable to attend the bash.)
Off-screen, Kim proposed a touching toast to her mom as well.
“Mom, I’m going to give this Emmy to you because you were the one who started it all,” she said, remarking on West’s public comments about how the Kardashians should win an Emmy. “The show was your idea… we may not have an Emmy now but we will someday.”
For entertainment, the insider tells Us that DJ Cassidy spun everything from Beyonce’s “Love On Top” to Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean,” with plenty of Michael Jackson hits in between.
“Everyone was dancing all night,” the source said, adding that guests celebrated until 3 a.m.
