Cinemax with sprinkles on the top

Laura Dern and Mike Whitened celebrate her win. Peter Dinklage and Jason Momoa Idris Elba wins and Ough Gervais unwinds. Mila Kunis with Mark Wahlberg Shaun Garlin, Judd Apatow and Steven Levitan party with Cinemax. Sue Naegle and Sarah Michelle Gellar Martin Scorsese Around 9 p.m., just like the Golden Globe parties were striking their stride, the partygoers in the Bev Hilton received a little surprise: rain. The sudden shower sent the hordes running inside in the Cinemax party, which offered shelter and protection within the poolside space in which the legendary hotel swimming hole have been drained for that occasion to create room for added tables and tents. Clothed in silver branches and shimmering two-story high drapes, the cabler's shindig rapidly grew to become a crowded affair of stars from Cinemax shows and special offers, past and offer: large those who win Peter Dinklage and Laura Dern (with mother Diane Ladd), nominees Guy Pearce and Evan Rachel Wood, Thomas Jane, Shaun Garlin and "True Blood's" Alexander Skarsgard and Mike Trammell. Other people who arrived from the rain incorporated nominees Michael Fassbender and Brendan Gleeson and those who win Idris Elba and Claire Danes.

'Justified' actors have price on head

The cast and crew of FX's "Justified" left Levis and six shooters on the lot as members filled the Directors Guild Theater on Jan. 10 for the show's season-three premiere. In a series where characters have a quick draw and good aim (five people are killed in the season preem), the cast can only guess who will be the next to get a pink slip. "People ask why Mags didn't survive the end of last season," said showrunner Graham Yost, "It's because she didn't give me an envelope stuffed with cash, and that's a warning to Neal McDonough."

Adult fare missing from CES

There's something missing from this year's CES: porn stars.While TVs and tablets dominate the world's largest tech confab, CES attendees often save some attention for the nearby Adult Entertainment Expo. This year, though, the two shows don't coincide and it's like the loss of a familiar, if slightly sketchy, cousin at a family dinner. The AEE (and its accompanying AVN awards) won't hit Las Vegas until next week. This year is the first time in years the two shows haven't synced up.The porn convention was actually born out of CES. In the early days of the electronics show, there was an adult video section. Thirteen years ago, however, the adult entertainment companies decided to strike out on their own. The show has run the same week as CES for several years, fitting since porn has driven several home entertainment technologies. Cross traffic between the two events was heavy as well, but this year CES shifted its show dates, closing it out on a Friday (last year's show ran Thursday through Sunday). And that's being pointed to as a reason for the change. Economics are a larger factor, though. This year's porn show will be held at the Hard Rock Casino, which will cost organizers much less than the Sands Convention Center -- and non-CES fans will be able to get rooms for a significantly cheaper rate than during CES, when Vegas hotels ratchet up prices to often outrageous levels. AEE show officials admit they're concerned about a potential loss of foot traffic, but say media coverage requests have more than doubled for the event, which should guarantee plenty of, um, exposure.The 2011 AEE saw just shy of 23,000 fans attend, compared to the nearly 150,000 that came to CES.Of course, CES hasn't been entirely porn-free. Tech-intense adult company Pink Visual hosted a party Tuesday for about 100 CES showgoers, bringing a trio of stars to pose for pictures and mingle with the techies, including one who spend the evening wearing an iPad strapped to her chest, encouraging people to swipe the screen to display cleavage (presumably, hers) in a variety of lingerie styles.

Taylor Quick, Amanda Seyfried Offered 'Les Miserables' Roles?

Sorry, Jum Michele, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood: it seems like Tom Hooper fell under Taylor Swift's spell.

It's a small-ant part, but Eponine does achieve belt the immortal song "On My Own.In . Otherwise this could happen below, Taytay-fied. But, wait: there's more 'Les Miserables' casting almost-news! Twitch also reviews that Amanda Seyfried remains offered the role of Cosette, the daughter of Fantine (Hathaway As Catwoman), who plays most inside the musical's time-hopped second act. Based on previous rumor, it seems that Hooper wants his stars and stars to sing onset, without vocal doubles, meaning an excellent voice can be a plus for cast people. Quick is clearly a singer, but Seyfried practical understanding too ('Mamma Mia,' y'all!), much like fellow cast people Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. 'Les Miserables' -- possibly using these two lithe stars -- will hit theaters on 12 ,. 7.
