Ellen Pompeo's Big L.A. Emmy Bash
It’s Emmy Week! Parties, gifting suites and beauty treatments abound to all those lucky celebrities (and all those piggybacking on the lucky celebs) who have scored a trip to the Emmy Awards on Sunday.
The week of parties was launched by L.A. Confidential magazine and its September cover girl, Ellen Pompeo, at the posh One Sunset restaurant in West Hollywood. The Grey’s Anatomy star appropriately wore (what else?) grey and recruited several of her sexy castmates to the red-carpet event including Sandra Oh (wow, she looked hot!) and McSteamy himself, Eric Dane. Also showing to the star-flooded party was Natasha Henstridge with beau Darius Danesh, Zachary Quinto, Stacy Keibler, Rebecca Gayheart, Sarah Chalke, Marla Maples and so, so many others!
As servers passed mini-burgers and pizza slices (hardly the type of food that will get these actors red-carpet ready on Sunday), I watched as the very fit Roger Cross chatted with Henry Simmons, who seemed to share a bond over their super-cut bodies.
I got a chance to ask Ken Davitian about the possibility of a Borat 2, and he turned from friendly and outspoken to completely taciturn. Deborah Gibson looked quite svelte in a mini-dress that looked like a modernized and classy version of her '80s Spandex days.
At the bar, Melora Hardin (Jan from The Office) and her sexy hubby, Gildart Jackson, were sweet enough to buy me a drink. She gave me the scoop that she was wearing Max Azria Atelier to the awards show on Sunday. But no details! She wants that to be a surprise. With that body (and after two kids, mind you!), I’m sure she’ll look amazing!
Later, I saw Melora having a short hallway chat with Office-mate Kate Flannery. Perhaps discussing some good Office gossip?
With more gifting and pre-parties to go, stay tuned for more Emmy gossip!
