Big feast of celebrity sightings this weekend as the awards season kicked into high gear.
Saturday night, Maria and I headed to Alex restaurant on Melrose (the former Citrus space), where Showtime was honoring its various award show nominees. Including "The Reagans" star James Brolin. Which means... yup. Babs sighting.
That was probably the surreal moment of the weekend. Barbara Streisand, partying along side Justine Bateman ("Out of Order") and the cast from the TV version of "Soul Food." We also picked up on a new trend: Just as those backpack-style baby carriers were all the rage a few years ago, it's now cool to wear your baby like a bag accessory. Spotted a few celebs bagging their baby. Food was truly excellent, by the way; must return to Alex for a meal.
Sunday night, covered the TV portion of the Globes ("The Office" -- wow) and then headed to shindigs thrown by New Line, HBO and NBC/Access Hollywood. Highlights: "Lost in Translation's" Scarlett Johansson, looking regal; Paris Hilton, looking like she was late to the prom (wearing a puffy light blue number) and chatting up Jimmy Fallon; Richard Belzer, looking very thin; Michael Douglas' son Cameron, guest DJing at the Access Hollywood party; Hugh Hefner, as always with 5 or 6 of his girlfriends in tow; and the always suave Bernie Mac.
