11 Things I Learned about TV and TV Stars at the Pre-Emmy Parties

Emmy weekend is a veritable smorgasbord of TV scoop! At yesterday's pre-Emmy gift lounges and parties, including the Entertainment Weekly/Revlon party at the Beverly Hills Post Office building, the HBO Luxury Lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, and the L.A. Confidential magazine bash at Les Deux in Hollywood, I talked to some of our favorite stars and caught up on their lives and on what's to come on their shows.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: The ragtag fleet reassembles! According to Grace Park (love her!) at the EW party, several Battlestar Galactica castmembers—including Park herself, her real-life husband and her onscreen BSG husband, Tahmoh Penikett—are living at Jamie Bamber's house in Studio City while Family Bamber is in London for Bamber's gig on Law & Order: UK. And over at the L.A. Confidential pre-Emmy party sponsored by Borgata and Le Vian, Tricia Helfer spilled, "We will find out who the fifth Cylon is a lot earlier than the series finale—it comes up early in the last 10 episodes."

WEEDS: The woman of the hour at the L.A. Confidential party was Mary-Louise Parker—she's their September cover girl—and when I asked about the possibility of a Nancy-Andy romance on Weeds, she said that she didn't feel it was "inappropriate." Yay. I love the chemistry between Mary-Louise and Justin Kirk.

PRIVATE PRACTICE: According to Audra McDonald at the L.A. Confidential party, the practice is in major financial trouble this season. She says, "We are on episode 11, and we still don't know if the Oceanside Wellness Center is going to make it."

90210: At the L.A. Confidential bash, Ian Ziering, aka the original 90210's Steve Saunders, says of Kelly's son, "The kid may be Dylan's, but he looks like me!" Hmmm...
