How did Tinseltown recover from Oscar week festivities? More revelry of course. "Slumdog Millionaire"’s Anil Kapoor networked with Salma Hayek at a book party for her hairstylist, Robert Vetica, at Beso in Hollywood on February 26.  Who knows what the two discussed so intensely, but would an "Ugly Betty" guest spot be out of the question? Hey, stranger things have happened…

Before snagging the top weekend box-office honors, the “Watchmen” cast, including Billy Crudup, Malin Ackerman, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan descended upon the Mann's Chinese Theatre for the film’s premiere last Monday, while the age-defying Kirk Douglas showed some super-heroic spirit all his own on Friday when he debuted his one-man show, “Before I Forget,” at the age of 92.

No pants? No problem for Lady Gaga, who writhed and rocked her way around L.A. in little more than a pair of high-waisted briefs.

On Wednesday night, she brought her Madonna-like antics to Apple Lounge, where she performed hits “Poker Face” and “Just Dance” for Star magazine’s Hot Young Hollywood issue.

Paul Rudd risked overexposure this week by appearing at two movie premieres in one week. But with two markedly different films, he did not wear out his welcome in Hollywood just yet. What did, however: the term bromance, heard about a billion times on the red carpet of “I Love You, Man,” his comedy with Jason Segel about man dates and bodily functions.

Thursday night, John Mayer took a Twitter break to rock the boat, his very own Mayercraft Carrier 2 docked at the port of San Pedro for a special concert to benefit the VH-1 Save the Music Foundation. Those hoping Mayer would make waves in another Borat-style mankini, which he memorably donned during his voyage last year, were sorely disappointed at the site of the singer in a button-down. He gave his best trademark grimaces as he strummed his own material along with some Tom Petty tunes before accompanying “American Idol” alum Jordin Sparks.
