A purple-haired Katy Perry and proud papa James Van Der Beek made their way to Santa Monica, Calif., over the weekend for their jewelry designer pal Markus Molinari's birthday party at new spot SHOREbar.
At the bash, hosted by the venue's owner John Terzian, Perry "was in such an amazing mood," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She liked a drink called the JoJo, and was really happy to be with her friends."
At one point, Van Der Beek – who was there with wife Kimberly – and Perry made a toast to their mutual friend and "told him how chic he is," the source says.
Chord Overstreet was also present during the celebration.

Jonah Hill Hits a Block Party in West Hollywood

Jonah Hill seemed to enjoy his sunny Sunday afternoon at the 2nd Annual Hudson Block Party in West Hollywood.
Joining about 8,000 other partygoers, the 21 Jump Street star casually walked around the event with a beer and an unidentifiable male friend.
Guests at the fête – which lasted 12 hours – were treated to music by Brooklyn-based indie band White Rabbits, and more than 20 other musical acts and deejays throughout the day.

21 Jump Street Will Please Old Fans, Win New Ones: Review
Originally posted 03/15/2012 10:45AM
Either you're old, like me, and were aghast at the idea of someone defiling your beloved Jump Street. Or you're young (i.e., born after the ’87 launch of the TV series that made Johnny Depp a star) and your reaction was closer to, "What's 21 Jump Street?"
Good news, graybeards and whippersnappers: This is a movie we all can dig.
The new Jump Street borrows the same conceit as the old – babyfaced cops go back to high school to narc on naughty kids – but torques it into a ridiculously inappropriate comedy.
The secret is the Mutt-and-Jeff pairing of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill as the narcs. Tatum is Jenko, the hot cop to Hill's Schmidt, the smart one. They're both stunned when they enroll in school to bust a drug ring, only to find that cliques have changed and Schmidt's the popular one now.

Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill: Real-Life Bro-Mance
Originally posted 03/14/2012 03:30PM
Who's at the center of Hollywood's hottest bro-mance? Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, that's who – or, perhaps they should now be referred to as, "Joning?"
The two actors admit they definitely bonded while shooting their new film 21 Jump Street, and at Tuesday's Grauman's Chinese Theater premiere they unabashedly reveled in the qualities they admire most in each other.
"I've never met anyone like Jonah that can go in and literally win an entire room and get away with just about anything," Tatum, 31, tells PEOPLE.
"It's like he could punch somebody in the face and somehow he would keep him laughing about it – he's like, 'It's fine. It's fine. I just punched you in the face. It's cool. Don't even worry.' And they would just laugh about it."

Oscars 2012: Who Should Win Best Supporting Actor?
Originally posted 02/24/2012 12:40PM
Hard to believe, but with so many notable roles under their belts over the past several years, Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominees Kenneth Branagh, Nick Nolte, Christopher Plummer and Max Von Sydow have never grabbed the gold.
That is likely to change Sunday night – for one of them. Or, in an upset, possibly for the much-younger Jonah Hill.
And while the smart money is on either Oscar-less octogenarian Christopher Plummer, for his Screen Actors Guild-winning turn as a father who comes out sexually late in life in The Beginners, or Max Von Sydow, as a contemporary man who still suffers the effects of WWII in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, no nominee can be counted out in this race.

Not only did he receive a nod for Best Actor in Moneyball, but that film, along with his movie Tree of Life, were both nominated for Best Picture.
But the star, 48, isn't solely about celebrating himself.

George Clooney, Michelle Williams Receive Oscar Nominations
Originally posted 01/24/2012 08:45AM
Comedy counts in Hollywood, for once, with two surprise nominations for Bridesmaids, for Supporting Actress Melissa McCarthy and Best Screenplay writer Kristen Wiig, according to this year's Oscar nominations, announced early Tuesday at the Beverly Hills headquarters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
As anticipated – given earlier honors from critics' group and the Golden Globes – nominations in the Best Picture category included those for director Alexander Payne's family drama set in Hawaii The Descendants (five nods) and the love letters to early movies, The Artist, with 10 nominations, and Martin Scorsese's Hugo, with 11. In all, nine films received Best Picture nominations.
Acting nods went to, among others, those friendly rivals George Clooney, for The Descendants, and Brad Pitt, for Moneyball.
For Best Actress, Michelle Williams was cited for her turn as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn, as was Meryl Streep, who plays former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, in The Iron Lady.
Streep's nomination is her 17th – an all-time Academy record. (Both Jack Nicholson and Katharine Hepburn received 12 nominations; he won three times and she won four.) Streep has won twice, as Best Supporting Actress for 1979's Kramer vs. Kramer, and as Best Actress for 1982's Sophie's Choice.
