Daily News Fashion Editor After the Emmys last week, there were plenty of parties, but the hottest tickets in town were the Governors Ball at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium and ``Entertainment Tonight's'' soiree soi·ree also soi·rée n. An evening party or reception. [French soirée, from Old French seree, from seir, evening, from Latin at Pasadena's Twin Palms restaurant. Some, like best actor in a drama Dennis Franz of ``NYPD Blue,'' attended both. He was seen dancing the ``YMCA'' at the Governors Ball and later showing up at the Twin Palms with his Emmy in his arms. Emmy winner Chris Rock went to the ball with his mom, and Ellen DeGeneres with Anne Heche. Past Emmy winner Bruce Willis and wife Demi Moore were there, too. So, you weren't there and wondered what everybody ate? The menu at the Governors Ball was prepared by Patina and included tower of nicoise salad with ahi tuna, crisp focaccia bread, roasted veal served on risotto ri·sot·to n. pl. ri·sot·tos A dish of rice cooked in broth, usually with saffron, and served with grated cheese. [Italian, from riso, rice, from Old Italian; see rice. with sage lemon sauce and fresh strawberry tarts with pistachio pistachio (pĭstăsh`ēō, pĭstä`shēō), tree or shrub (of the genus Pistacia) of the family Anacardiaceae (sumac family). The species that yields the pistachio nut of commerce is P. filling and vanilla bean sauce. At the ``Entertainment Tonight'' party, guests including Kelsey Grammer and the cast of ``Frasier,'' and ``NYPD NYPD New York City Police Department (since 1845; New York City, NY, USA) NYPD New York Play Development Blue'' co-star Kim Delaney - in her fabulous purple gown made by Pamela Barish - feasted on chicken on skewers, goat cheese pizza and bite-sized pastries. John Travolta had his own party later in the week. He was the honoree at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where 900 guests raised $500,000 at a gala for the programs of the Hollywood-based American Cinematheque, which include the restoration of the historic Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Travolta was both toasted and roasted. ``Phenomenon'' director Jon Turtletaub described him by saying, ``John just gives and gives until the work is done or they bring dessert.'' Then ``Pulp Fiction'' producer Lawrence Bender recalled that in his first dinner meeting with Travolta, ``we ate our way through the menu,'' and the star later ran the prop master ragged fetching hamburgers on the set. Mostly, though, it was praise, praise, praise for the actor's talent, kindness and generosity, heaped on the two-time Oscar nominee by a long line of admirers, including the evening's emcee, Jay Leno, ``Grease'' co-star Olivia Newton-John and movie critic Gene Siskel, a ``Saturday Night Fever'' fanatic who bought Travolta's white suit from the film and assured everyone it was ``much more than a disco movie.'' Folks were dancing in the street, grazing on gourmet goodies and sipping champagne on Rodeo Drive Tuesday night at a private street party to celebrate Hermes' new boutique and its 25th year in Beverly Hills. Hermes, the 160-year-old leather goods company famous for its equestrian-themed scarves and the ``Kelly'' bag named for actress Grace Kelly, had special sound effects on the street that mimicked a horse race, followed by an outdoor viewing of film clips featuring famous Hollywood horses. Then a live horse was paraded through the store as its first official customer, coming out with a new saddle. After a few minutes to make sure the horse didn't leave anything on the floor, hundreds of guests were invited in to ooh and ahh. L.A.'s most stylish street will be closed off again tonight for a block-long runway fashion show and dinner party as a tribute to 25 years of fashion on Rodeo Drive. The event, sponsored by Visa, Vogue, GQ and Vanity Fair, will benefit California State Summer School for the Arts, Teach for America Teach For America (TFA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to close the academic achievement gap between children from different socio-economic backgrounds. and the Museum of Contemporary Art.
