Some Prince Globe after party mentions:
Tom Cruise Holds Court at Golden Globes <javascript:stockSearch('');>
What a strange night followed the Golden Globes. But maybe it couldn't
be avoided, since the show itself - the part you don't see on TV - was
so completely weird.
For example, why was Tom Hanks seated at a C-list table with actress
Chloe Sevigny instead of with best pal Steven Spielberg?
Even more curious, why wasn't Hanks at the same table with Warren
Beatty, for whom he gave the odd living eulogy that preceded Beatty's
filibuster acceptance speech?
"He was with two guys, and they were at a pretty bad table," reports my
ballroom observer.
At least Hanks didn't resort to pouring personal substances from a flask
into existing liquids at the table. That's what William H. Macy was seen
doing while his wife, Felicity Huffman, was waiting to present an award
and lose the Best Actress in a TV comedy prize. The couple is too good
for this nonsense, and Macy knows it.
But those were the Golden Globes, which are built on secrecy and
exclusion. In that spirit, Sean "Diddy" Combs arrived at the after-party
given by Creative Artists Agency at the Argyle Hotel, and was promptly
turned away.
Edited video of this moment is already on the Internet. But my spy at
the Argyle reports that Combs arrived and was promptly told by security
that his name was not on the list.
The police were actually called, and Combs eventually departed for
Prince's more welcoming shindig at the Regent Beverly Wilshire.
If Combs had made it inside, he would have seen that the party was
actually a heavily guarded refuge for Hollywood's newest and strangest
assemblage of weirdly grouped friends: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes,
fellow Scientologist Leah Remini and her husband, as well as Jennifer
Lopez and Marc Anthony and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham sans her
soccer-playing husband, David Beckham, who's stuck in England.
"Everyone kept coming up to Tom all night," says an observer. "He was
having a great time. Katie barely said a word all night to anyone, and
spent a lot of time rubbing his back. She is very weird."
To make the situation inside the Sunset Tower even weirder, Nicole
Kidman and just-released-from-rehab husband Keith Urban were on the
other side of the room. Luckily, these rearranged spouses did not run
into each other, but only skillful choreography prevented a disaster.
Meanwhile, a tense moment occurred when Anthony, who has spent the last
couple of years re-shaping wife Lopez's image from diva to doll, got
into a heated exchange with a CAA agent who works with his wife.
Frankly, Diddy should be happy he missed all this. Later, when the
Cruise co. moved over to the Prince party, the diminutive genius asked
Anthony to sing with his band.
"He didn't want to," says a spy, "and when he did, Jennifer was dancing
up a storm, which I don't think he liked, either."
Through all of this, Holmes said nary a word.
The Diddy incident at the Argyle, though, remains a sore point. Combs
had had a good moment at the Globes show as a presenter. A friend of his
told me, "He was really pleased and honored to be with all those actors.
It humbled him, and Sean is not easily humbled."
The hip-hop entrepreneur was embraced at the Prince party - I've seen
the pictures - but downstairs at the Beverly Wilshire things were almost
as weird as at the Argyle.
When newly-minted Best Actor winner Forest Whitaker arrived with a group
of about seven, he was impolitely told he was only allowed one guest.
Whitaker, a gentleman, declined, and skipped the Prince affair. He took
his group into the hotel bar. Give this man an Oscar!
