Lord of the Cheese
Made it to the "Lord of the Rings" premiere party Wednesday night (thanks to Joe, who had an extra ticket).

Premiere was held in Westwood, with theatergoers then shuttled to the Wadsworth Theater on the VA grounds in West L.A. The party, thrown in two massive tents next to the Wadsworth, took on a Middle-Earth theme, complete with singing waifs, fake and real trees and a grass-layered bar.

Food was top-notch (very tasty Pumpkin/Squash soup) and attendees mostly gave the final installment of the "Rings" trilogy a thumb's up. (I didn't get a chance to see the movie; believe it or not, I've also missed out on the first two. Yes, I'll return my pop culture credentials.)

Celeb sightings included the film's star, Elijah Wood, as well as Adrien Brody, Matt Groening, Rob Schneider... and David Hasselhoff.

That's right. "Baywatch" hunk, "Knight Rider" hero and German pop music star David Hasselhoff.

And just in case the "Rings" partygoers missed Hasselhoff's entrance, the DJ made sure to play a dance version of the "Knight Rider" theme song. Oh yeah.
