LA.COMFIDENTIAL > CELEBS.Jessica Biel definitely didn't appear on the pink carpet at the third annual Pink Party in Santa Monica on Saturday night to spill the beans about her relationship with Justin Timberlake. But the evening's hostess was definitely outspoken about her support for style trendsetter Elyse Walker's benefit for the Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Research Institute. "Members of my family have had breast cancer, and promoting research is very important for me because I might be among the many women who experience the disease," said Biel, carrying a bright pink pocketbook as she joined girlfriends on the crowded outdoor terrace at the Viceroy Hotel. Among other Pink supporters, who watched go-go dancers perform in scanty pink outfits atop Plexiglas pedestals to the sounds of DJ Steve Aoki, were Katharine McPhee, Tori Spelling, Marcia Cross, Rebecca Romijn, Laura Prepon, Jerry O'Connell, Elisabeth Rohm and Jamie Lee Curtis "I'm here on behalf of every woman on Earth, from my daughter to women I've never met, because this is a big problem that's going to be here for a while," said longtime supporter Curtis, who had her fingernails painted pink for the cause. >JOEL STRATTE-McCLURE/SPYWITNESS Emmys' party people Hey, producers are people, too. That's why the television academy hosted its first Producer's Peer Group Party at One Sunset in West Hollywood, where the producers of this year's Emmy-nominated shows were feted by a star-studded crowd. T.R. Knight, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama for "Grey's Anatomy," stopped by to chat on his way into the party and said he is ready for Emmy night. "With guys, we got it really easy. We get the tux and put it on. "There's nothing else we really gotta worry about. Hugo Boss, they lent me a tuxedo. Black socks are the only thing I need, then we're done ... I'm just hoping I won't have any zits. Which I'm sure I will because that's the thing I don't want."

"My character certainly is a whole different person this season," Hardin says. "She moves in with Michael, I can tell you that much. They are co-habitating. So you'll get to see a little more of the homemaker side -- or not." Kaling, meanwhile, was just hoping to meet anyone from the cast and crew of Showtime's "Dexter." "I'm completely wide-eyed, and I'm so excited to see anybody from 'Dexter.' It's amazing, so gory go·ry adj. go·ri·er, go·ri·est 1. Covered or stained with gore; bloody. 2.

Robert Duvall, nominated for outstanding lead actor in a miniseries or movie, says acting in "Broken Trail" ranks right up there with any of the classic feature films he's ever done. "It's a beautiful project, one of my favorites ever. You make a prestigious movie, and six people see it, and it goes to DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc. DVD in full digital video disc or digital versatile disc Type of optical disc. The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. . Almost 30 million people saw this. "So television can be terrific and is sometimes overlooked with this sense that film is more prestigious. 'Lonesome Dove' was my favorite party ever. I love Westerns. You need a good hat and a horse." So how much does Duvall want an Emmy to place alongside his Oscar for "Tender Mercies"? "I haven't won anything in a long time. I'd like to win something!" >GREG HERNANDEZ/LA.COM (1) (Computer Output Microfilm) Creating microfilm or microfiche from the computer.
