Hey, wasn’t John Lennon the "smart'" Beatle with glasses? Never-before-seen photos of the Beatles prove that Paul McCartney also wore glasses, something millions of his avid fans never knew.
Seems McCartney, the "cute Beatle," was rarely photographed wearing his glasses because he felt they didn’t fit with his image. But in a just-released series of rare photos taken of the Fab Four in the Abbey Road studios recording “With a Little Help From My Friends,” McCartney can be seen (above) wearing black horn rims. And he looks a bit like Elvis Costello or Damien Hirst.
The shots were taken by acclaimed photographer Frank Herrmann on March 30, 1967, exactly 40 years ago. Later that day, the Liverpool lads posed for the cover of the legendary "Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band" album.
According to an article in The Mail on Sunday’s Live Night and Day magazine, cameramen were rarely given entry to recording sessions. Some of the negatives have been lost, but thanks to digital technology, prints have been made from contact sheets Herrmann had stored in a box for 40 years.
A private viewing of the photos and contact sheets will be held on June 1, 2007, at the Saint Giles Street Gallery in Norwich, England. The gallery is owned by David Koppel, who was in West Hollywood this week checking out the local galleries and venue for future exhibitions. To see more never-before-seen candid Beatles photos-- including more of Paul in glasses -- all available in limited editions, check out the gallery’s website.

Bobby Trendy showed up at last night's Phyllis Morris Gala on Robertson Blvd., showcasing Cristina Ferrare's line of luxury home accessories. It was hard to miss the Liberace of home design thanks to his white satin brocade jacket festooned with hot pink tulle. Trendy had been Anna Nicole Smith's designer and their tumultuous relationship was documented on her reality show, ending with her firing him and him threatening to sue her.
So I had to ask what he thought about her death. "It's sad. It's such a waste," Trendy replied, with a momentary well-glossed pout, as he flitted off to pose on a $36,000 bed. The same could be said of his pink tulle.

According to People magazine, Courtney Love has lost a whopping 44 lbs. And she's still going. So how did she dump the extra padding? By following a macrobiotic diet, eating fish, veggies, doing yoga and working out. And if you believe that, I've got some great New Orleans property near the levees you might like. On Love's website, she talks about the weight loss, having her overblown lips reduced and making her nose look more like her old nose. Oh yeah, that last bit will really help.
"its my old nose,. and i love it because it just looks like my “self” in
93. i hated that nosejobby nose, it was like a little beak, and i went
ot the guy who can fix thes ethings and just put your old bad assed

Mere months after relocating from London to El Lay, Victoria Beckham's brown hair has mysteriously turned blonde. Is it a vitamin deficiency? A genetic flaw? No. Environmental experts suspect a chemical that occurs naturally in the Southern California water system that lightens hair over time. The effect is far more noticeable in the Beverly Hills area, as evidenced by the increasing number of wealthy wives who tend to have the same pale wheat-colored hair. Some scientists now say there may be a link between the local water and other all-too-common symptoms of Beverly Hills residence: blank expressions, swollen lips, painfully tight faces, a year-round, all-over tan and hard, protruding bosoms. Sadly, Posh is also exhibiting all these symptoms. Currently, there is no cure. But there's hope. Fundraisers are planned to raise awareness and money to find a cure for these sad and disturbing disfigurements.

Just over a month after Courtney Love hooked up with Nicole Richie at Paris Hilton's birthday bash at the Prime Grill in Beverly Hills, she's begun to exhibit symptoms of being on the Richie zero-meal plan. Just released startling paparazzi photos of the Incredible Shrinking Singer in a bikini have friends and fans worried. To see Love's rapid shrinkage on Perez Hilton, click here. So the big question is: Is Courtney getting diet tips from Richie or is she now on the Anna Nicole Smith diet? Be careful, Courtney. Anna Nicole did eventually hit her desired goal weight. In a casket.

Rockers Dave Navarro and Donovan Leitch "performed" onstage at the Roxy this week. Whew. From the looks of this intense liplock, Carmen Electra got out just in time. Later in the set, Donovan tried to do something no musician should ever attempt......

Word is that Miu Miu (pronounced Mew Mew) -- the younger, hipper version of Miuccia Prada's Prada line -- will open a 3,200-square-foot West Coast flagship boutique at 317 North Rodeo Drive this fall. The former Lalique shop is being massively renovated and will end up with an 800-square-foot mezzanine, and lots of mirror top coffee tables, (razor blades not included) antique parquet floors, ivory rugs and Italian silk damasks. And just in time. Because what Beverly Hills desperately needs is another fancy-pantsy designer boutique. For those of who wondered, "Hey, didn't there used to be a Miu Miu boutique on Melrose?" yes, there was but it quietly shuttered its 6,900-sq. ft self last summer. Anyway, with a spiffy Rodeo presence and all that rich international foot traffic, now Miu Miu needs a new celebrity face for the big opening and the awards season. Maggie Gyllenhaal used to be their alt-fash model but she's gone all Mommy with her new baby and temporarily lost her edge. So I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest the blossoming Rumer Willis, Demi Moore's look-alike daughter who's been partying with Lindsay Lohan a lot and/or Kristen Dunst, who could use some free clothes for her upcoming "Spiderman" press junkets.

It had to happen. So it has. You know how all those expensive gowns worn to the Oscars get ripped off for mainstream prom and party dress markets? Now Oscar fashion has gone to the dogs. Yes, you can now dress your precious puppy in a mock couture gown like the ones worn by Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Jennifer Lopez to the 2007 Academy Awards.  Little Lily, an LA-based pet clothing company, offers: the Jennifer - a puppy-sized imitation of her Grecian-inspired Oscar gown by Marchesa and the Nicole, a bright red one-shouldered number that looks like Nic's Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquiere silk crepe gown (with a big bow sure to annoy your dog the same way it annoyed fashion critics). There's also the Penelope, a faux Atelier Versace empire waist satin gown and the Reese, a canine copy of her purple Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci gown. For boy dogs, there 's the Leo, like DiCaprio's Armani tuxedo. I'm serious.
Little Lily is taking orders from retailers now for delivery in April. For the complete Red Carpet Collection, check out the authorized retailer Funny.Fur's blog at laladoggy.com. Or go to this site to see the complete collection.
Read more about the company's creators/designers Lara Alameddine and Daniel Dubiecki in Entrepreneur magazine. According to People, Lopez has already gotten a mutt Marchesa for her Chihuahua. What's next? An Oscar statue squeaky toy? Please train your dog to keep her acceptance speech short and sweet. To see more bitchy Oscar fashion, keep reading..

Sober Party Girl Lindsay Lohan showed up at last night's premiere of "The Tudors" reportedly because she's friends with the Showtime series' star Johanthan Rhys Meyers, who plays a hot King Henry VIII. But she hung with fellow on-the-wagon buddy musician Robbie Williams at the post party at Les Deux in Hollywood. The restaurant was decorated to resemble a medievel court with ladies-in-waiting, colorful canopied sofas and banquet tables. Because celebs really need more reasons to feel like they're royalty. But relax, this is just a marriage of rehab convenience. Rumors are Lindsay is dating another mystery man and some say it's Jude Law. Now there's a match made in Unfaithful Heaven.

What happens in Las Vegas, doesn't stay in Vegas. It gets publicized. Even non-events as meaningless and ill-attended as Kevin Federline's 29th birthday party this weekend at Pure nightclub get press. Eat your heart out, Britney. Your Fed-Ex has more strippers than you do, nyah-nyah.
Wonder if the hospital gave Britney any pain pills for that TMZ-reported "toothache" she was suffering from this weekend? Hey, she only stayed an hour at the hospital emergency room. Isn't that just about long enough to get a prescription for Percodan? And seriously, who goes to the emergency room for a toothache? She's a celebrity and doesn't have a dentist she can call? How hillbilly is that?

The fabulousness has begun. It's 10 p.m Friday night and the stars are starting to show up at Perez Hilton's 29th birthday party at The Roxy on Sunset Strip. Kelly Osbourne just arrived with Amy Winehouse, a Perez fave. Dita Von Teese is on her way! Janice Dickinson is confirmed. Woo hoo! More tomorrow when I recover from celebrating the birth of the most outrageous celebrity blogger in the universe. I've had one Absolut Pear-Ezelle (Absolute Pears, apple and cranberry Juice), snagged a few packages of a new KY premium personal lubricant called Intrigue and listened to 80s music. I'm having such a great time, I feel like taking photos of celebrities and drawing coke coming out of their noses. But who has time? Donovan Leitch's band is gonna go on soon. Plus Paris Hilton is heading this way. As a blue-haired Perez sez, "Anything can happen!"

According to TMZ, award-winning director and all around freaking psycho crazyman Mel Gibson blew up last night and told a bunch of Mayans who were unhappy about perceived racial stereotypng in "Apocalypto" to "Make your own movie!" He said something else too, but I can't print it. Mel, Mel, Mel. Can you say Anger Management? But let's be honest. Who among us hasn't wanted to tell someone to "make your own movie" at one time or another? On another note, hasn't Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London totally captured Mel's wild-eyed insanity?

Have LA Fashion Week designer shows deteriorated to being nothing more than permissable pornography, sex shows featuring models who act more like strippers and pole dancers than clothing mannequins? What utter nonsense. I mean, all one has to do is look at the seriously chic and elegant moves on the Dina Bar-El Fall/Winter 07 runway earlier this week....

She's selling shoes at Selfridge's in London! Mischa Barton, who lost her bebe model gig to the formidable Rebecca Romijn, kept busy showing shoes and autographing shoeboxes on March 22 at the London department store. All, apparently, part of her ongoing duties as a Keds spokesmodel. I'm not saying this is a step down, but I hope Mischa didn't have to ask, "Would you like to see this in an 7 1/2 or an 8?

So maybe it's not Paris. But a lot of hard work goes into designing a clothing collection to be shown to hundreds of frenzied fashion fans, a dozen celebrities, a handful of exasperated press and about three buyers during this week's LA Fashion Week shows held at Smashbox. Here, the final touches are put on a masterpiece that walked Christian Audigier's runway yesterday. One has to marvel at the precise scissor snips that transform a black T into a work of genius that will sell for a few hundred dollars in trendy LA boutiques. Takes your breath away, doesn't it?

Everyone was wondering where bebe spokesmodel Mischa "Slouchy" Barton was Sunday night and why she wasn't at the Collection bebe runway show and why Rebecca Romijn was so up front and center sitting in the front row and making nice backstage with the designer and founder. Here's what happened..

Is this poor creature the victim of a Fraxel that went horribly wrong? No, she's just another LA fashion victim. She and every other model in yesterday's Jospeh Domingo Fall/Winter '7 collection drew gasps when they walked the runway like zombies with their eyes sealed shut. I'm willing to bet this is one hot new runway makeup trend that won't be ending up in the pages of Vogue or Instyle.
To see how the poor eyeless models were "transformed" backstage, read on..

What do a porn star (sorry, adult video actress), a soccer brute-turned-actor, a controversial UFC champ, a former Backstreet Boy and a pathetic attention-seeking former supermodel-turned-Reality TV star who has had so much weird work done that she doesn't even look human anymore, have in common? Glad you asked. They are all huge fans of Christian Audigier, who designs the Ed Hardy line
of flashy, trashy and sassy swim and sportswear. That's right, Jenna Jameson,
Vinnie Jones, Tito Ortiz, Aaron Carter and Janice Dickinson were all at Audigier's L.A. Fashion
Week Fall/Winter show at Smashbox Studios. Here's a look at some of the show's wild
goings on. And goings off. And by the way, Janice made such a scene last night -- including showing off her crotch for photogs -- that she's reportedly been banned from attending any more fashion shows, according to TMZ. Thank God! Has Janice become the Courtney Love of the fashion industry, an embarrassing surgically altered Used-To-Be?

Last night's Bebe Collection Fall/Winter 07 show was way more star-studded than most Paris RTW fashion shows, according to Wall Street Journal fashion blogger Christina Binkley, who covers all the international shows. This is her first time attending L.A. Fashion Week, so check out her blog for insights on how El Lay differs from Euro-Fash.
Spotted in the Bebe front rows taking notes on the supersexy style strutting the runway: "Desperate Housewives" star and Bebe Sport model Eva Longoria and her stylist Robert Verdi, DH's voice of Mary Alice Brenda Strong, Jerry O'Connell and his squeeze Rebecca Romijn, Virginia Madsen, Kelly Carlson from Nip/Tuck, "Dancing with the Stars" Stacy Keibler, celebrity dentist Bill Dorfman, and... Penny Marshall? I can safely say Penny was not shopping the show. Keep reading to see more backstage action.

I overheard in the fashion trenches that:
Models walking the Imitation of Christ runway tonight will be paid
much more than they earn walking other designers' runways this week.
Hmmm. Wonder what they have to do to earn those bonus points? I'll let
you know tomorrow morning. Expect celebs galore for Tara Subkoff's
hipper-than-thou style scene with an intimate afterparty at
Teddy's. Backstage during last night's Bebe Collection, one model lit into her dresser because her shoes were too big causing her to trip on the runway. "I swear the models get really bitchy as the day goes on," said one dresser. "They were all nice in the morning but by the last show... One kept screaming at me like it was my fault her shoes didn't fit." Frankly, all the models looked like they were in a bad mood to me. See photo at left. Was it those white bob wigs? Not only will "Deadwood" get it's long-awaited two-part finale,
there will be an exclusive line of "Deadwood" cowboy boots.
Prototypes are already being shown to HBO honchos at Billy Martin's Western Wear
boutique in Hollywood on Sunset Strip. I'm down for some
Swearingen Specials. But sadly we must be patient and wait until creator David Milch
gets that HBO surf noir series going - "John From Cincinnati" - before
he can focus on wrapping up "Deadwood." Will the boots come out before
the finales air? I have no f---ing clue but if I hear any f---ing thing
more, I'll let you know, pard'ner.

Were there any gowns worthy of the next Awards Season at Sunday night's Bebe Collection fashion show? Some might think not since designer David Cardona's runway show -- on the first night of LA Fashion Week sponsored by Mercedes-Benz -- was distinctly hard and edgy. "It's like Thierry Mugler doing a line for Target," whispered one seasoned show-goer.
It definitely had Mugleresque touches. Think sharp shoulders, crop jackets, trenchcoats, short snug miniskirts, black tights and storm trooper black boots. Lots of assymmetrical hems, lines and cuts and enough lycra to let every woman in the Midwest squeeze into a size 6. But particularly intriquing was Cardona's use of leather straps and zippers on evening gowns and cocktail dresses. Not to mention his plethora of peace signs as his seasonal signature on scarves, pins, shoes and jewelry. Doubt the awards potential of gowns this super-sexy? Then check out who wore a Cardona creation to the Emmys almost a decade ago. You'll be surprised.

There was a major Black Pack invasion at the 2007 ShoWest convention in Vegas this week. And you can check out all the hot actresses here. But who knew Allison Janney - best known for her sharp-witted but usually matronly attired White House Press Liason CJ Cregg on "The West Wing" had gams this great? This pair may just make the much ballyhooed musical "Hairspray" worth watching. I said may.

Remember all those dominatrix Bebe ads featuring spokesmodel Mischa Barton? Like the one where she's planted her stilettos into some poor male model's bare back? Or the one where a male model, clad in skivvies, kneels at her feet? Haute stuff. But has Mischa lost her gig as the face of the fashion house's sophisticated and sensual Collection line, designed by LA-based David Cardona?

Want a My Scene Fab Faces doll autographed by Britney Spears (before she was bald)? Sure you do. A. It's for a good cause. B. It makes a great party gift. and C. Think how much it would be worth on Ebay if Britney ends up - God forbid - like poor Anna Nicole Smith. Score! The Britney-enscribed doll and many more fun items autographed by stars at the Teen Choice '06 Awards are being auctioned off here (it ends next week!) and all proceeds go to City of Hope. So bid already.

Anyone else who wants whatever Michelle Pfeiffer is having, raise your hands. Okay, wait. Hold on. Keep them up. Two million two hundred thousand and four, two million two hundred thousand and five....
Phoro Credits: An astonishingly beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer surfaced -- looking like she has to have an aging portrait hidden somewhere in her attic -- at the ShoWest Convention in Las Vegas to promote her film "Hair Spray," which will pair her with that original "Grease" stud John Travolta. If this woman put out a beauty product line, can you imagine how successful it would be? Jeff Vespa/WireImage
It promises to be a scandalous L.A. Fashion Week. Everyone hitting the designer shows at Smashbox Studios is sure to be buzzing about Beverly Hills designer Anand Jon's ... um, extracurricular activities. According to TMZ.com, Jon has been charged with some seriously unfashionable crimes. The designer was arrested last week and has been charged with multiple counts of rape and sexual assaults dating back a few years. And because his bail is so high, he's had to cancel his denim runway show during next week's Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Smashbox, which would have taken place next Tuesday.
Anand definitely hangs with the In Crowd in Hollywood and New York. And judging by his Wireimage.com gallery of photos, he has some very famous acquaintances including: Bai Ling, Anne Heche, Barbara Davis, Brandy, Bruce Springsteen, Deborah Gibson, Carolyn Murphy, Jaid Barrymore, Ivanka Trump, M. Night Shyamalan, Mario Van Peebles, Marla Maples, Nicky Hilton, Paula Abdul, Tommy Hilfiger, Susan Sarandon and Trent Ford. Gosh, wonder if any of them will help him make bail.

Carmen Electra likes to stay home. But that didn't stop her from staying out late last night at the Max Factor Salutes Hollywood Fashion Show at Social Hollywood. Although, truth be told, some of the spectacular sheer gowns she modeled looked like naughty nighty-nighties.
After Carmen took a nasty and embarrassing spill on the runway, she and the other models wisely decided to ditch their heels. Denise Richards also ventured out to model in the show that benefited Jane Kaczmarek's "Clothes Off Our Backs." So did Kristin Cavallari. And both ladies seemed to like modeling barefoot, walking the runway carrying their heels.
Much more casual and homey, don't you think? Keep reading to check it out.

Uh-oh. Here's a dating disaster just waiting to happen. Cameron Diaz and Jude Law co-starred in last year's dreadful romantic comedy "The Holiday." But that was back when Jude was still back-and-forth with Sienna Miller and Cam was in a relationship with he-whose-name-will-not-be-mentioned. Okay, Justin Timberlake. Now that both Cam and Jude -- seen here in Tokyo -- are single and can dish about their whorey exes, it may spell hook-up. Let's hope what happens in Tokyo stays in Tokyo.

Demi Moore wears a long black coat over a black dress and keeps it clutched closed over her middle during Showest festivities in Vegas and all of a sudden she's pregnant? Well, actually, the rumors got started before she pulled her magician's black cloak trick in Vegas. If it's true, it may mean that we will be subjected to another Vanity Fair nude mama-to-be cover...

Madonna has lost all - or what little she had - of her fashion sense. Who would buy clothing from a woman who dressed like this at the London launch party for her new H&M line? Midcalf old lady dress with puffy sleeves, ditzy diamonds, matchy-matchy strappy white shoes. And that's not even going near those Orangutan arms and hands that look like they clawed their way out of a crypt. Madge, do the fashion world a favor and stick to writing children's books.

The eternally perky Sienna Miller, with her sis Savannah, is over the moon at the London premiere of her movie "Factory Girl." So many premieres, so much press, so little box office. This has just gotta be the last hurrah. Talk about beating a dead horse. But I'm sure we'll soon see Sienna at.... the "Factory Girl" DVD launch party!

Rumors of Rolling Stone Keith Richards' recent brain transplant are running wild after his nutty appearance as a presenter at the 22nd Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction dinner.

"You are not allowed to ask Sandra Bullock any questions that are not about the film," Bullock's over-protective personal publicist told reporters waiting on the red carpet press line at last night's "Premonition" premiere. This usually means no questions about a star's marriage, divorce, engagement, breakup, drug bust, anorexia, overdose, rehab, lesbian affair, or having casual sex with sullen farm animals. So an Instyle reporter queried, "But I can ask her about her dress, right?" "No!" was the curt reply. "It's Lanvin. But don't ask Sandra about it. Only questions about the film." Too bad. From what I hear the dress - definitely not the woooh, supposed to be scaaaary film - was the highlight of the night.The pleated gray silk mousseline gown - with the Oscar fave detail, a one shoulder Roman toga style strap - was designed by Lanvin creative genius Alber Elbaz, one of the hottest red carpet designers to emerge in the past two years. But even more amusing than the Instyle scribe not being allowed to ask about the dress is the fact that Sandra's on the gosh-darn cover of the March issue! Talk about biting the hand that boosts your fashion profile. By refusing to discuss her gown, she dissed the designer and the rag mag!

Poor Sly Stallone. Word from TMZ.com is that he was caught in Sydney, Australia, allegedly trying to sneak in a buttload of Human Growth Hormone.This steroid is reportedly popular with men who use it to enhance "performance" (if you know what I mean and I think you do) and to slow down the aging process. I can't speak for the first part. But if Sly's shooting this stuff to look younger, he's wasting his money. Dude, it's just not working. In fact, you're starting to look like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade float. Check out what the hunky two-time Oscar nominee ("Rocky" in 1977) used to look like in 1983. Then you decide if that stuff -- that probably wasn't his anyway -- is doing him any good.

Like George on "Meet the Jetsons," Jennifer Hudson just can't seem to get off the awards treadmill. Is there no end to the accolades and awards for the "Dreamgirls" Oscar winner? At Saturday's Soul Train Awards in Pasadena, she added yet another little gold man to her vast collection. And it's worth noting that Jennifer looked great (again) in an Escada gown without that dreadful Star Trek Voyager silver lame jacket. Has anyone seen her friend/stylist Andre Leon Talley around lately? Or is he hiding his head in shame back in the Big Apple? Not to worry. I'm sure he'll be back next year if the Academy puts him back on their payroll as their omniscient and omnipotent voice of style. Andre, read our lips: No More Silver Jackets!

Oxygen Channel reality star Janice Dickinson! What's that old saying: When you age, you get the face you've earned. In Janice's case, she's got the face she paid for ... which is truly frightening. It's time someone stages an intervention to stop Janice from shooting any more filler into her oversized lips. Better stand back, folks. These babies look like they're about to blow any second.

Alison Sweeney is no loser. She's won several awards for playing the duplicitous Sami Brady on "Days of Our Lives" since '93. Now she's replacing Caroline Rhea as the new host of "The Biggest Loser." Alison's familiar with weight issues, having addressed them in her autobiography. She runs and does a Hollywood Boot Camp to stay slender. And she's tested the reality programming waters with a legendary freak-out on the celebrity edition of "Fear Factor." But given her soap character Sami's untrustworthy and downright evil past, will viewers -- and contestants -- warm to her as a cuddly supportive host for the weight loss reality show? After all, she won a fan award at the 2002 Daytime Emmys for "American's Favorite Villain." Personally, I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. Sami always promises to change her evil ways but she never does!
The new "Loser" won't air until the Fall. But hopefully we'll get to ask Alison about her new gig at the Daytime Emmys on June 15. It sure looks like she's already shopping for Emmy gowns (or "Loser" looks) at Hollywood Life's fashion suite. Will she wear a Robert Ellis gown like the one she modeled (despite Daisy Fuentes stealing the show) at a fundraiser for St. Jude's? For more inside scoop on dressing like one of your favorite daytime divas, click here.

Just when you thought it was safe to attend awards events ... Sienna Miller is baaaaack! Although Hollywood's Oscar push is over, the perky blonde British actress is back to her awards season tricks, inexplicably appearing at a Children's Emmy nominee bash at The Plumm in New York. Look out, nominees. Even though she's not nominated, she may show up looking all chic, skinny and trendy at every Emmy-oriented event. But this time she won't have the "I'm just promoting 'Factory Girl'" excuse. Unless the film has already gone to DVD, which is a distinct possibility. So what's the real reason for her NY adventures? If she's not promoting a film and not up for award, why is she at these events? Could it be because of a...

Wild horses - or Mad Cows - couldn't keep
Emmy-winning actor William Shatner
away from the 15th annual Night at Sardi's benefit for the Alzheimer's Association. Shatner, whose beloved "Boston Legal" alter-ego Denny Crane blames his
memory loss on "Mad Cow," presented an award to Wells Fargo exec Shelley
Freeman. "When I was asked to present this award to my friend Shelley,
I said, 'Wild horses could not keep me away. Domestic horses, burros,
donkeys, zebras could not keep me away."
But afterwards, Shatner didn't join Gallagher, Megan Mullally, Jason Alexander, Dick Van Dyke, Victor Garber,Sharon Lawrence, Michael Chiklis
onstage to belt out show tunes from Abe Burrows' hit show, "Guys and Dolls."
Which was a huge disappointment to fans of Shatner's latest album, "Has Been," that features Ben Folds, Aimee Mann, Henry Rollins and Joe Jackson. Maybe next year.
And where was Denis Leary? Why wasn't the Emmy nommed actor at the Beverly Hilton to accept the Abe Burrows Entertainment Award for "Rescue Me's" ongoing storylines about Alzheimer's? "Denis is working tonight," explained his pal, Vermont neighbor and fellow award winner Peter Gallagher, whose series "The O.C." was recently cancelled. "Actually, he's just trying to rub it in that his show is still on the air."
