As earlier reported, rocker Billy Idol will perform for the high-profile stars at the Emmy bash, as will six-time Grammy nominee Dave Koz. Billy will arrive at the Emmy party in style in a chauffeur-driven Audi. The company's 2009 R8 is so hot, there's a two-year waiting list to get one, and the only celebs to get one in their garage so far include Robert Downey Jr., Tom Brady and Seal.

For a second year in a row the party will be held at the famed Walt Disney Concert Hall and party goers and celebs such as Sean "Diddy" Combs, Christina Applegate, Eva Longoria Parker, Tina Fey, Jeremy Piven, Lauren Conrad, Mark Wahlberg, Marcia Cross, Sandra Oh and Jennifer Love Hewitt will receive an exclusively designed Cole Haan 80th Anniversary tote bag filled with more than 40 high-end products.

Cole Haan's exclusively designed gift bag is a durable unisex tote, fabricated in 100 percent red cotton canvas. Design details include luxe chocolate woven leather handles, logo rivets embossed in a signature weave and custom pale gold hardware exclusive to Cole Haan. To commemorate the 80th anniversary, the interior of the tote will also feature a unique "Cole Haan 1928" hand-script logo.

Included in the coveted Cole Haan tote bag will be a gift certificate for a Flip Mino video camera, a weekend stay at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, fragrances by Fresh and Sean John's "Unforgivable" by Estee Lauder; body products from Bliss Spa, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Spa Ritual, Epicuren, Essie, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, Gal Pal, Kiss My Face, Elgydium, Fly Right, Foot Petals; cosmetics from Cargo, DuWop, Maybelline, Smashbox, Tarte, and Zirh, as well as hair products by Sally Hershberger and Garnier, gift certificates for a one month membership at Sports Club/LA, David Kahn Jeans, Parajumpers, Reuseniks, and a mini-facial and tanning services at Sun Lounge.

The list of goodies continues with a hand-made cosmetics case by Koch Handbags, Carrot & Stick letterpress note cards, an ET T-shirt by Alternative Apparel and Fresh Pressed, DVDs from CBS Paramount Home Entertainment, treats from the Cookie Sandwich Company and Espeez, an energy drink from Motley Bird, best-sellers from Simon & Schuster, Spanx, M By Staples, Yankee Candle, and games from Table Topics and Kheper Games.

Some of the products were secured with the help of  The Buzz Girls, an L.A. based network of tastemakers who influence and determine the most buzzworthy products in the entertainment and lifestyle industry.

This year the stars received invitations created by YESDESIGNGROUP. YDG came up with the idea of producing a recyclable and reusable garment bag as the invite to the 12th annual ET party sponsored for the fifth year by People.

"This year we wanted to create an invite that was not only eco-friendly, but something that the invitees could use long after the event. Our continued collaboration with [ET] raises the bar for invite expectations," says Lori J. Posner, owner of YDG.

Once that decision was made, YDG turned to Jane Wyler of REUSENIKS, who is known for creating the Clothesnik, a reusable 100 percent cotton garment bag that replaces plastic dry-cleaning bags.

Jane created a special 42-inch garment bag of recycled cotton which was silkscreened so that the party invitation is directly on the bag, pictured above.

"Once again, ET is ahead of the curve with this one-of-a-kind invitation! It's even more special because it is eco-friendly and can be re-used," says Linda Bell Blue, Executive Producer of ET.

Also confirmed to rock to the music provided by Billy Idol and Dave Koz are Chandra Wilson, Jimmy Kimmel,;Paula Abdul, David Archuletta, Mark Ballas, Tim Gunn, Carrie Ann Inaba, Jamie Kennedy, Padma Lakshmi), William Petersen, Roselyn Sanchez, Brooke Shields, Jean Smart, Michael C. Hall, Oscar Nunez, Lee Pace and Jeff Probst.
