Why should New York have all the fun?

The Tribeca Film Festival got a satellite party in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, a departure from the annual run in that trendy New York City neighborhood it’s named after.

Filmmakers and other bold names helped American Express toast festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal at the W Hollywood, with cocktails and shop talk at their Station bar. Though co-founder Robert De Niro wasn’t present, the Left Coast managed to show Rosenthal a good time.

Jessica Alba popped by in a neon-and-metallic mini, clearly giddy about a night out without the family -- the actress tweeted about partying with some girlfriends.

Also present at the W were ‘Back to the Future’ star Christopher Lloyd and Christina Aguilera‘s husband, Jordan Bratman (who likely hurried home given his wife’s current look).

Pop star Jesse McCartney showed -- a bold move, had he encountered any far-sighted Justin Bieber fans.
