Golden Globes Report
So here I am, once again, at the Golden Globes.
I've covered the Globes for a decade now, and never tire of this ultimately very long, tiring evening, and yet incredibly fun awardfest. Throughout the course of the evening, I'll fill you in on everything -- that you'll never see on the show.
Enjoy!
1: 15 a.m. - OK, so after the NBC, Weinstein Company, and HBO parties at the Hilton, I headed with an unnamed celebrity friend to the CAA party at the Sunset Tower hotel. There, Sacha Baron Cohen was celebrating, Zach Braff and Jesse Metcalfe were having a good time and George Clooney was amusing Rose McGowan and director Robert Rodriguez. I'd love to fill you in on who else was there and the fabulous time that was being had by all, but two sips into my end-of-a-long-day-into-night-into-early-morning congratulatory drink (and it was my only cocktail of the evening), I was -- that's right -- thrown out of the party. "No press," I was told by one of the organizers, who professionally and nicely asked me to leave, followed by "How did you get in?" Though pressed for who brought me as a guest, rather than putting up a fight and saying your client Ms. Soandso, I gentlemanly declined to name names and, dapper in my tux, gentlemanly walked out of the party. It wasn't how I expected to end Golden Globes 2007, but like the awards show itself, it's always a night of surprises.
8:25 pm Bedlam in the lobby of the Hilton's lobby as the stars file out and the fans swarm around them. Julia Louis Dreyfus, Eddie Murphy, Heidi Klum and Seal, Jeremy Piven, Hugh Grant, Steven Spielberg, Will Ferrell were caught in the crush.
8:12 pm Right as the show ended, Eva Longoria, holding hands with her onscreen husband, darted out, followed by Nicolette Sheridannd Michael Bolton and Justin Timberlake, who hand his hands on Bolton's shoulders.
Now that the show's over, it's party time! (Well, party coverage time.)
7:40 pm Brad Pitt came out for another smoke. He also went to the bar to fetch three drinks for himself, his "Babel" director and what appears to be the director's wife.
7:29 pm Adrien Grenier was at the bar with Jessica Biel. Enter P. Diddy. He asks Biel what she's up to. Biel, who essentially painted into a shimmery dress, said she's been busy working out in her own gym and can give the guys a "privateone day membership." "I'll be there tomorrow," said Diddy.
He then orderd a round of Patron tequila shots and said as a toast, "To that dress." He'sd been hanging out with her now for the past 30 minutes.
6:39 pm - Brad Pitt took a couple of minutes away from Angelina and is posing for pictures.
Apparently, Brad's not angry at David Arquette for his comments because he and Courteney came over to him and Brad kissed David on ther cheek. Then he said, "Ang, I want you to meet my very dear friends David and Courteney. They never met before! Angelina said hello and then Brad kissed David again on the cheek and he and Angelina went back into the awards.
6:30 pm - Brad and Angelina just came out to smoke. (He'sd smoking. She's not.) He ordered a Grey Goose and tonic. They're hanging out with agent Bryan Lourd. A lot of people didn't even notice them. Angelina just moved over to a heat lamp.
6:24 pm - Courteney cox just told me that Jennifer Aniston will play a rival editor on the seasone finale of "Dirt." She doesn't know what happens. She said she'll find out when she gets home and goes to the fax machine.
She then caught up with Matthew Perry outside in the smoking area, where she'sd not smoking but hanging out with Sheryl Crow.
5:36 pm - Outside in the smoking area, Rosanna Arquette, who was with her sister Patricia and brother David, introduced Courtney Cox -- "my sister-in-law" to a woman with a French accent.
Right before, David went to the ladies room to get change, presumably to give someone a tip for his glass of Scotch.
Also outside in the smoker's area were Entourage, Jerry FerraraN Kevin Connolly and Kevin Dillon.
And DH castmates Eva Longoria and Nicolette Sheridan are out here enoying their smokes.
(I don't smoke, but I'm taking one for the team.)
4:42 p.m. – While in conversation with Cameron Diaz, Martin Scorsese waves to me. (I guess he remembers me from the past decade of interviewing him.) Cameron is cracking him up.
Sheridan/Bolton -- table 114
4:34 pm - Sacha Cohen and his "manager" spoke for a few minutes on the first landing when you walk in while his fiancee spoke to Sheryl Crow. His fiancee Isla Fisher has some sort of problem with the back of her dress and keeps fussing it. She asked him, "what am I going to do about it?" Sacha's at table 10.Nicolette Sheridan almost stepped on another woman's train and told the woman it's been happening to her, too, all night. She's with her fiance Michael Bolton.
4:24 p.m. - John Stamos, standing next to Borat's manager in the film, first told Dwight from The Office, then JJ Abrams how he was having "sex, sex, sex" with a woman while they watched Borat and she stopped Stamos to point out the scene where. "his balls are on Borat's head." I can't believe I heard that story and the phrase "his balls are on Borat's head"-- twice!
4:14 pm - David Spade was talking to Terence Howard. Now he's in deep conversation with Sheryl Crow.
Tim Allen is sitting with Jennifer Love Hewitt at table 222. She's busy text messaging.
3:45 pm - Justin Timberlake and George Clooney came in through the back.
Meryl Streep blew kisses and said I love you to the fans in the bleachers.
Eva Longoria's husband on DH is the first celeb seated and wolfing down his salad at table 114.
