Hosting and Toasting
I was surprised when one of my first celebrity interviewees at the
Toronto Film Festival, the remarkably fresh-faced and perky
Rachel Bilson, confessed (in between stuffing her face with a croissant) that she got only two hours of sleep the night before she flew here. Now, after three back-to-back
In Style events, I know just how she feels.
Aside from our
blowout with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association,
In Style hosted fêtes for two films that are bound to be contenders come Oscar night:
Little Children, which was directed by
Todd Field, the Academy Award-nominated writer/director of
In the Bedroom; and
Bobby, which was helmed by one of my favorite Brat Packers,
Emilio Estevez.
At our intimate cocktail party at
Flow for
Little Children, Field told me that his film was intended as a “satirical melodrama.” My take?
Depserate Housewives with a Ph.D. Kate Winslet, looking blonder and hotter than ever, kicked back with a glass of bubbly and the company of her buff co-star, Patrick Wilson, who is like a walking
Men’s Health cover. He shows off his acting chops, abs—and much, much more—in this movie. Remember
Fatal Attraction’s kitchen-sink sex scene? This movie similarly romanticizes the laundry room!
Bobby co-stars Christian Slater and Joy Bryant
And last night at
65 Degrees Grill & Pasta, we toasted Estevez’s Venice Film Festival hit, which he wrote, directed and co-stars in. He plays the long-suffering husband of (real-life former fiancée) Demi Moore.
