Ben Affleck, hanging with pal
Sheryl Crow during a party at New York's Soho Grand penthouse following a
Cinema Society screening of his film
Gone Baby Gone. Guests at
the bash (including
Casey Affleck and
Patricia Clarkson)
enjoyed a spread of comfort food – meatloaf, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts – in a comfy setting with big beds and sofas. And a thin looking Affleck shared a diet secret with PEOPLE earlier in the night. "[I] just lay off the bread," the actor said. Back at the penthouse bash, Clarkson raved about the man of the hour. "Ben is a wonderful guy," she told us. "He made a great movie."

where she picked up cupcakes in flavors including coconut, piña
colada, caramel apple and vanilla. (No sign of her director fiancé
Robert Rodriguez, though.)

Wilmer Valderrama, taking in an explosive
Kanye West performance from atop a banquette inside a T-Mobile Sidekick LX
party at the Clubhouse at the Griffith Park's Harding and Wilson Golf Course
in Los Angeles. The rapper offered attendees (including
Carmen Electra and
Shia LaBeouf) a long performance
dominated by tunes from his latest disc,
Graduation (and blinding strobe lights that had audience members joking they'd have seizures). Meanwhile, Electra watched front-and-center, shimmying from inside her banquette.
Jeremy Piven alternated his attention between his male friends and a group of women who congregated around him, and LaBeouf enjoyed the company of a few female partygoers, too.
