In the minutes following NBC’s signoff from the Golden Globes telecast, industry fans mobbed Ricky Gervais at HBO’s party in and around Circa 55 restaurant. It was a few more minutes in front of the cameras for Gervais (those on iPhones), as well as literal and metaphorical backslapping. A handler had to sneak him out a side door.
The multi-winning channel had saved the host a table next to President Michael Lombardo and MPAA chairman Chris Dodd, Lisa Bonet, sporting the same bowler hat from her mid-80s Cosby prime, had been eyeing Lombardo’s table moments earlier.
On the other end of the cheery spectrum, Viola Davis, who was the only one of the four actor...

However, the specter of falling in the crosshairs of his frank humor loomed over the three-hour soiree.
“It’s a double edged sword, isn’t it? “ Sir Ben Kingsley told TheWrap. “One would be a little disappointed if one’s not picked out, but if one is picked out, one would cringe. I’ll have it both ways.”
Well wishers crowded Meryl Streep and Charlize Theron, both of whom had barely made it past the doorway thirty minutes after arriving.
Over by the mini quail scotch eggs and split scones, Harvey Weinstein brokered an introduction between Streep and motion-capture maven Andy Serkis (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”),...

Detractors may slug New Year’s Eve as “amateur night”, but for celebs and the pop culture industry, it’s a professional night on the clock.
While Jay-Z, Kanye West and Coldplay headlined the opening of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas a year ago, one of the big draws this year is Kim Kardashian at TAO inside the Venetian.
TAO is paying the reality mogul $600,000 for a series of appearances beginning on New Year’s Eve, according to multiple reports.
This year, Kardashian filmed several scenes for her E! reality show inside the club.“

Shepard Fairey, no stranger to freedom of speech issues after battling the Associated Press for years over the iconic Obama “Hope” photo, was among the VIPs at Monday night’s ACLU Bill of Rights Dinner.

Meanwhile across town, production executive and producer Lisa Higgins celebrated the launch of her new executive production services company with an intimate gathering at Hyde.

November, 21, 2011 10:38 am | Comments On #ABC, Awards, Community, David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Lopez, Joel McHale, Justin Bieber, Marc Anthony, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift
Mother nature threw a wet damper on Sunday night’s American Music Awards, leaving drenched red carpets and wardrobes that needed their own celebrity wranglers to stay dry throughout Downtown L.A.'s Nokia Theater complex.
Early winner Adam Levine coughed up advice to up-and-coming bands: “Don’t let (the labels) take your merchandise or touring. It’s called a ‘360 deal’ and it’s bulls--t. Don’t ever sign one if you’re an up and coming band.”
This past June, Levine coached contestant Javier Colon to win NBC’s “The Voice”, a prize that included a record deal.
Unlike the Emmys and the Independent...
