Guess which star had her knickers in a knot – or, more precisely, pulled over her dress – in the bathroom of a Golden Globes party?
Minnie Driver will never tell.
The Barney's Version actress, 40, said she got up close and personal in the ladies room with a "very gorgeous, lovely, young actress coming out of the stall" next to her – who just so happened to be having a wardrobe malfunction.

Minnie Driver's Passion: Marine Wildlife
Originally posted 07/15/2009 04:15PM
To say Minnie Driver is passionate about sea creatures is an understatement.
"Having my son and swimming with humpback whales were the two most religious experiences in my life," says the actress, who gave birth to son Henry last September and dove in the open ocean with 50-ton whales for a documentary back in 2006.
So when the chance arose to volunteer and lend her name this summer to a new campaign aimed at rescuing marine wildlife, she dove right in. "I was raised to believe that we are custodians of this planet," says the actress, 39, who spent time last month feeding distressed seals and sea lions at California's Marine Mammal Center, and is now acting as the spokesperson for Dawn's Everyday Wildlife Champions.
"This opportunity came up to be a part of something that brought something as everyday as Dawn washing-up liquid together with this Marine Mammal Center that I have worked with and that I love and support wildly," says Driver. "It just seemed like a great marriage."

"I only looked at a few pictures and they do make you kind of go, 'Owwww! Ouch!', but then I look at him. I want another one of them."

Minnie Driver Deaf to Doctor on Baby's Sex

Though Minnie Driver has expressed her wish not to know the gender of her child, a doctor revealed that very info during a recent medical exam.
Still, the expectant actress, 38, insisted to her TV host on Tuesday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, "I don't know whether he said 'he' or 'she.' " How come? She was simply too busy concentrating on the doctor's comments about her cervix.
The two friends who accompanied Driver to the examination did hear the doctor, however – and one pal is allegedly blackmailing Driver to buy him things so he won't spill the beans, she said.
