The first celeb to hit the carpet at Entertainment Tonight and People magazine's party, held at the Disney Concert Hall, hadn't seen any of the Emmys.

"I have no idea what's going on," Jonathan Schaech confessed, before adding that he was rooting for his Emmy nominated ex-wife Christina Applegate.

"I've been sending a lot of love and support," he said, in regards to her recent breast cancer diagnosis. "She's doing great. She's a real hero."

Although Christina didn't go home with an award, Jeremy Piven got the statue for the third time. So does this mean his head will get huge?

"His head's not going to get bigger," dished Entourage costar Rex Lee. "If anything, I think this humbled him a little bit."

90210's Ryan Eggold stopped to squash the rumors about Shenae Grimes and Jessica Stroup being too skinny. "I see them eating cheeseburgers all day, every day."

Brooke Shields, clad in Badgley Mischka, also had food on the mind when asked what she was looking forward to at the fete. "Billy Idol, a cupcake and a great gift bag!"

The cupcakes she referred to were set up inside at the Crumbs dessert bar, which proved to be just as popular as the regular dinner buffet featuring Spanish cuisine such as paella. And the gift bag guests got were so heavy, people could barely carry it to their cars!

Neil Patrick Harris hightailed it inside with his beau in tow just in time to see Billy take the stage. Newly single Nicolette Sheridan also arrived fashionably late with a girlfriend.

Paula Abdul seemed to be rekindling things with her restauranteur boyfriend JT Torregiani. Although the two broke up in June, JT and Paula were sharing a table together inside the bash.

Also hanging at the soiree: Emmy winner Jeff Probst, Kristen Chenoweth, John Krasinski, Kathy Griffin and Larry Birkhead.
