“They didn’t invent the dinner party. Step back. That’s one of the things I have a problem with here. They’re like, ‘Oh, I wake up at 5 a.m.’ ” No, that’s right, that’s called getting up early. People have been doing it since humans existed. You didn’t invent it, but I think it’s great.

“It’s like all the drinks at the party. The sparkly martinis were all from Instagram, so we had a great idea,” Kennedy said.
