'GRIMM' AND BEAR IT: The after-party for the Hollywood premiere of ``The Brothers Grimm For information about the other uses of the name, see Brothers Grimm (disambiguation).

And a suited-up Ben Affleck avoided the press by sneaking in the back way with his new bride, the very expectant Jennifer Garner Jennifer Anne Garner[1] (born April 17, 1972) is an Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe- and SAG Award-winning American actress. She first became known for her role as CIA agent Sydney Bristow on TV's Alias. . The beaming bride was definitely in an ``Alias'' Earth Mother disguise, wearing jeans, Frye boots and a floral smock top, her straight hair tucked behind her ears.

Everyone, including Ben's bro Casey, hung out at the party in lobby of the Directors Guild, and there was plenty of back-slapping and belly- admiring.

Damon playfully grabbed Ben's hand to check out his first wedding band, while Garner rubbed her expanding tummy (and let others do it too). She chatted with Barroso and grinned as Ben withdrew in mock horror after a USA Today USA Today

``I'm not doing any press tonight,'' Ben explained as he backed off, his hands held in the air as if the reporter were pointing a weapon, not a tape recorder tape recorder, device for recording information on strips of plastic tape (usually polyester) that are coated with fine particles of a magnetic substance, usually an oxide of iron, cobalt, or chromium. The coating is normally held on the tape with a special binder. .

You can't blame the guy. He's probably been enjoying his under-the-radar private life, unlike some Hollywood couples we can think of.

But Ledger and Damon were super-sweet to reporters, even asking scribes to help get the word out about ``Grimm,'' which opens Aug. 26.

Seems the enchanting film (think ``Ghostbusters'' meets ``Robin Hood'') about two brothers who con villagers by pretending to de-spell their towns, has had a rough time. The project was rescued and adopted by the Brothers Weinstein, but the recent Disney/Miramax split left the promotional coffers empty.

So the cast - including Damon, Ledger, Monica Bellucci and Peter Stormare - are working hard to get the word out about the adventure fable directed by the wizard of fantasy, Terry Gilliam.

``We just had a three-day junket, and I'll do a few more talk shows in New York New York, state, United States

LOVE'S LABOR LOST: Remember that old saying, ``Where there's smoke

, there's fire''? It was especially true at Comedy Central's roast of Pamela Anderson on Sunday.

Courtney Love lit up a cigarette before the show began and throughout the taping appeared increasingly toasted. The oft-obscene roast, airing at 10 p.m. Sunday on the cable channel, was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel with guests Bea Arthur, Andy Dick, Anna Nicole Smith and Dennis Rodman.

Love sat on stage, sprawled in a chair, chain-smoking, cursing and flipping the bird as she defended her pal Pam from hilarious insults.

But there were more Love jokes than Anderson cracks. The punk singer/actress recently completed a court-ordered rehab, but no one Sunday night was buying her proclaimed sobriety. For one thing, Tommy Lee, not exactly the poster boy for clean living, is her Alcoholics Anonymous Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), worldwide organization dedicated to the treatment of alcoholics; founded 1935 by two alcoholics, one a New York broker, the other an Ohio physician.  sponsor.

A still-puffing Love took the podium. ``I'm a smoker,'' she admitted. ``But I've been clean and sober for a ... year, so all these drug jokes ... jokes are ... '' She trailed off, then regained awareness. ``Why am I here? Because this counts as three hours of community service, and now I'm almost done.''

She wrapped it up: ``I really love Pam. Other than her hair, her teeth, her breasts and her teeth and, and, and her nails, she's just so ... real.'' Stumbling to her seat, Love repeated, ``And I haven't done drugs for over a year!''

To which Kimmel responded, ``I hope that's not true. Because if you're NOT on drugs, you've got real problems.''
