It was tea time for Emily Blunt and others as they attended the BAFTA/LA 16th Annual Awards Season Tea Party. This small, intimate invited only get together took place at the Beverly Hills hotel where everyone relaxed before tonight’s Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globes is probably one of my most favourite award shows because the atmosphere is very relaxed (could be the alcohol) and of course Ricky Gervais will be hosting and considering he says he hasn’t practised his hosting duties, this could be fun and highly inappropriate.  When I’m in an especially naughty mood, me loves inappropriate.

Attending the tea party:

• Alison Brie
• Talulah Riley
• Olivia Williams
• Claire Danes
• Maggie Gyllenhaal
• Anna Kendrick
• Quentin Tarantino
• Paul McCartney
• Jane Fonda
• Julianne Moore
• Tom Ford
• Helen Mirren
• Amanda Righetti
• Ben Foster
• Gabourey Sidibe
• Ed Westwick
• Eli Roth
• Kevin McHale
• Jessica Szohr

and lots others.

George Clooney attended the Los Angeles premiere of ‘Up in the Air’ with the two most important women in his life: his mom Nina Warren Clooney and his lady love Elizabetta Canalis.  From the look on mommy’s face, she approves of George’s latest lady.

The film centres on George’s character, Ryan Bingham, who goes around the country firing people.  Director (and writer) of the film, Jason Reitman tells WENN that he was impressed with the real-life people who agreed to be filmed sharing their personal experiences:

“I approached the shooting of the film when we were having one of the worst recessions on record. I had to adjust how to do these firing scenes (in the film), so satire just didn’t work anymore.  ”We were shooting in St. Louis and Detroit, two cities that just got pummelled and I put an ad out in the paper asking if there were people who lost their jobs and if they wanted to be in a documentary about job loss.  ”We said it was a documentary to weed out actors who were trying to sneak into the film. We had a startling amount of responses. I ended up putting 60 people on camera, 22 of which made the film.

“We interviewed them about what it was like to lose their job in this economy and then we’d fire them on camera and ask them to respond the way they did when they lost their job, or, if they preferred, the way they wish they had responded. It was an incredible experience to watch these non-actors improvise with 100 per cent realism. ”I don’t think I’ll use trained actors in the future.”

Cindy Crawford looks absolutely breathtaking at the premiere with her handsome hubby Rande Gerber.  The shoes are fierce, yes?  Also attending:

• Cheech Marin
• Jason Bateman
• Amanda Anka
• America Olivo
• Rhona Mitra
• Danny Trejo
