The cast that parties together stays together.

Or so says Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, we're sure. He held a private B-day bash at trendy Los Feliz cabaret Show at Barre last night and was accompanied by some of his TV pals: Julie Bowen and onscreen nephew Nolan Gould. Sadly, his M.F. hubby was MIA for the night.

But he also ventured outside his boob-tube fam and invited some small-screen peers...

From Glee, of all shows!

The likes of Jane Lynch and Darren Criss put aside their Emmy competition to toast Jesse at the bar. In fact, they all seemed to be in particularly good spirits as they listened to Broadway singer Shoshana Bean perform.

While some of the guests popped in and out all night, Julie stuck by her little bro (at least, on the show that is) all night.

"Julie and Jesse were definitely a little tipsy," an onlooker dishes. "But they were having a great time. They seemed very close."

Aw! Too cute. But where was spicy Sofia Vergara?! Even if Sue Sylvester herself is in attendance, everyone knows that it ain't a party without Sofia.

Equally fabulous across the country hunky British (now retired) rugby stud…

Ben Cohen—if you don't know who he is, do yourself a favor and Google his gorgeous mug—who stepped out in Miami for gay's night on Saturday at Sparkle, the Miami Recognition Dinner at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.

"He was being recognized with the Humanitarian Award for the work he does to fight bullying through his Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation," an attendee of the dinner spilled. "And for being such a friggin' stud."

Both honors sound just about right to us! ‘Cause (straight, for the record) Ben is a big-time gay rights activist and, if the whispering at the gala was to be believe, his looks and personality are equally swoon worthy.

So we'll toast to you both: mazel tov Jesse and Ben!
