Emmy Parties and Suites: TV Guide Is Off, ET Moves to Vibiana, HBO Gets Euro Style, EW Partners With Women in Film
|
With the Primetime Emmys coming up this Sunday, September 20, the calendar is bustling with related events following on the big show's heels, with only one significant dropout. Here's a roundup:
In what has been a tough year for the publication, TV Guide will not host its traditional big party this year. Event Eleven, helmed by Tony Schubert, who has produced the event in past years, will work on the Entertainment Weekly party at the Sunset Marquis on Thursday night. For the magazine's seventh annual event, Entertainment Weekly has partnered with Women in Film's new TV and media committee. Maybelline New York's new Colorsensational Lip Color will sponsor, and organizers will infuse the brand’s color palette throughout all the details of the decor. PMK/HBH is handling PR.
Among the other big pre-parties is Family Guy's event, which will take to Avalon Hollywood on Friday night to celebrate its nomination for best comedy. Night Vision Entertainment is producing the event, which is set to include a 45-foot inflatable Peter Griffin character out front. Inside, conductor Ron Jones will lead an orchestra. And instead of a standard photo booth, guests' photos will go into flipbooks (simulating a cartoon—get it?). DJ Rick Rude will spin ambient tunes upstairs in Bardot. Entertainment Fusion Group is handling PR.

Golden Globes Weekend: Who's Going Where
|
On Sunday night, the Golden Globes ceremony will take place in the International Ballroom at the Beverly Hilton, after last year's hiatus from all the pomp. But the frenzy of activity—perhaps minimally dampened in tough economic times as another strike threat looms—starts days earlier. Here's a look at the related events.
The usual proliferation of gift and hospitality suites will take over town, albeit with a somewhat softer character this time around. Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge is getting one of the earliest starts, kicking off today at the Zune L.A. space to benefit Visual Impact Now, which provides eyecare to children. (Feinstein is also staging a version of the suites at Sundance a week later.) GBK Productions will bring its suites to the 9900 Club in the old Friar's Club space, around the corner from the Hilton, on Friday and Saturday.
HBO's Luxury Lounge, with its L'Oréal Paris beauty suite, will take to the Four Seasons on Doheny on Friday. The Boom Boom Room's children's and parenting wares gift suites will open at the Century Plaza on Friday and Saturday.

Ice Sculpture: “Dan and Dave at Carving Ice are always thinking out of the box when it comes to creating ice sculptures. They are enthusiastic, passionate, and eager when it comes to their work. I am eager to try their 'Aqua Sermo' [a display of cascading illuminated droplets that form a message or logo] at one of our upcoming events. From what I hear, it is an amazing branding mechanism.”

Stoli Pop-Up Hotel Books Month of Parties

The kickoff party for the Stoli Hotel pop-up felt like the grand opening for a hot new boutique property. That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson DJ’ed for a sampling of celebs (the likes of pre-jail Paris Hilton, Andy Dick, Bai Ling, and James Blunt), some guests lounged on ottomans and lingered around the Stoli-only bar, and others opted for spa services. But this isn’t a real hotel—it’s a smart marketing idea from the Stolichnaya vodka brand.
