So once she walked the red carpet, Hatcher rushed over to her 8-year-old daughter, Emerson Rose, gave her a big hug and led her to the dance floor. The two kicked up their heels like they were the only ones in the downstairs restaurant and lounge. ``Emerson is the coolest kid in the world, and she was so genuinely proud that I was writing a book,'' said Hatcher as she sipped a glass of champagne. ``My mom read me parts of the book when she was writing it, and my favorite My Favorite is an independent synthpop band from Long Island, New York. They released two CDs: Love at Absolute Zero and Happiest Days of Our Lives. My Favorite broke up on September 14, 2005, when singer Andrea Vaughn left the band. chapter is definitely `It's Your Caviar, You Can Do What You Want With It,''' Emerson said. ``I've never eaten caviar, but I like the way it sounds.''

Instead, she and other guests feasted on food and drinks named after other chapter titles, like ``Sour Grapes Can Make Fine Wine'' and ``Once Burnt, Twice Shy.'' ``One of the most endearing things about Teri is that she's incredibly focused on raising her daughter, and that's the top priority in her life,'' said Denton as he handled a ``Happy Enchilada.'' Are other ``Housewives'' now going to follow in Hatcher's literary footsteps? ``I don't think I'll be writing one,'' said Huffman. ``Teri's definitely the author of the bunch.'' HELLO, HELIO HELIO Heliogravure (philately; early photogravure style) : A breathtaking mansion in the Hollywood Hills above Sunset was the expensive setting for the launch of Helio, the latest mobile service device (aka a phone with lots of bells and whistles A slang English term for exceptional features in some product. In the computer field, it typically refers to functions in software that may be greatly appreciated by some users, even though they may not be necessary most of the time. , including being an MP3 player and video screen), so naturally Tinseltown's hottest 20- and 30-somethings had to make the scene. ``That 70's Show'' star Danny Masterson was the nominal host for the party, along with Milla Jovovich and Chloe Sevigny. He's already a big fan of the Helio. ``It's got a lot of cool elements to it,'' he raved. His co-star Laura Prepon agreed, along with a bevy bevy a flock of birds. of beautiful faces from television -- ``Nip/Tuck'' beauty Rhona Mitra, ``JAG's'' Catherine Bell and ``One Tree Hill'' star Sophia Bush, as well as film stars Sanaa Lathan, Michelle Trachtenberg and Rachael Leigh Cook.

Forget free food, booze and music -- this was one Hollywood party that was all about the expensive swag. MOMMAPALOOZA: It couldn't have been more perfect to see Brooke Shields, new mom of two weeks, out and about on Wednesday night at the Target-sponsored party to celebrate Jane Buckingham's new book, ``The Modern Girl's Guide to Motherhood.'' Proving once again that she's the model of a modern mother, Shields took the high road and just grinned when asked about the irony of her baby having been born on the same day and in the same hospital as Tom Cruise's. ``I'm just here to support Jane,'' the Pucci-clad actress demurred, keeping mum about her ongoing feud with Cruise over his remarks about postpartum depression Postpartum Depression Definition Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that begins after childbirth and usually lasts beyond six weeks.

The party was a play date for expectant mommies and those who have already had their blessed event.

Shar Jackson left Kevin Federline's first set of kids at home; ``ER'' favorite Ming-Na and model-turned-reporter Willow Bay partied sans their children as well. Everyone who was pregnant sipped ``mock-tinis,'' while the rest went for champagne, as the mostly female group crowded into the GM Penthouse Suite at the Regent Beverly Wilshire. There were ``new-mommy makeovers'' (how to put on makeup fast) from Stila, lessons in baby massage, rooms filled with adorable baby items from Target, and even tiny tot jewelry from Erica Courtney on display. But the best booth at the party was definitely the Reach Out and Read spot. That literacy program has doctors across the U.S. giving away books to kids that come in for checkups, thus encouraging both parents and children to open up to the world of reading. That's one parenting issue we'll bet both Shields and Cruise could agree on.
