THE PARTY To kick off CBS juggernaut Hawaii Five-0’s new season, Honolulu threw a no-holds-barred bash as part of the ever-popular Sunset on the Beach series, drawing celebs, visitors and locals for a celebration that went into the night. THE PLAYERS Hawaii Five-0 Executive Producers Peter Lenkov and Roberto Orci, Daniel Dae Kim, Masi Oka, Taylor Wily, Michelle Borth, Gov. Neal Abercrombie and a host of island entertainers THE HIGHLIGHTS In a media frenzy that’s rare in the islands, the celeb-packed showing drew thousands of fans, many of whom lined the red carpet just to snap a pic of their favorite actors. (Alex O’Loughlin, aka McGarrett, drew his own contingent, many of them from his home country of Australia!) While the screening was obviously a high point, there were also knockout live performances by Kenny Endo’s Taiko Drums, Natural Vibrations and the Honolulu Boys Choir. Afterward, the entertainment industry was abuzz that CBS President Nina Tassler had actually opted to attend the Five-0 premiere over the Emmys! Photography by Jonas Maon
