Bush jumped up and joined Yoko at the socialite-studded after-party for Jennifer Nicholson's fashion show, prompting partygoers to throw flowers and hundreds of dollars in cash at the feet of Bush and Yoko.

Nicholson, the thirtysomething designer daughter of Jack Nicholson, also showed off her boy toy, 24-year-old Warren Hode, the sole male model in her show.</p>
