Very pleased to see you
TAKE a number, George! 4. Marion Cotillard momentarily leaves George Clooney -- yes, Clooney! -- hanging at the 80th Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 4 to reach out to Javier Bardem. Could the lady get any luckier? Well, yes. That night, the “La Vie en Rose” star got some ice from Chopard, which hosted a tres chic soiree for the French actress at the Chateau Marmont. The theme? Red roses, of course, which filled the scarlet-lighted bungalow. Clad in a strapless Chloe stunner, la belle of the ball sipped Champagne and bonded with fellow nominees Julian Schnabel and Amy Ryan.

An eye out for movie gold
1. Matthew McConaughey went head-to-head with his likeness at the “Fool’s Gold” premiere on Jan. 30. Afterward, 800 guests, including star Kate Hudson, sipped on pina coladas at the Caribbean-themed bash at Boulevard 3. At the premiere of “The Eye” the following night, Paula Wagner and Alessandro Nivola headed to Social Hollywood after walking the red carpet, where 2. Jessica Alba and the spooky poster clearly did not see eye to eye.

Devilish humor
At the Producers Guild Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Feb. 2, former “American Idol” contestants 5. Jordin Sparks, left, and Chris Daughtry flashed devil horns for the show’s producer, Simon Fuller, who received the Visionary Award. Presenter 7. Ricky Gervais showed off his pearly whites, while fellow comedian Kathy Griffin took a (fake) fall. Maybe she wanted to give YouTube co-founders 6. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen, who got the Vanguard Award, material for their site?
