Two More To Go: Of course, we waited until the four final forever episodes of "Angel" to start watching again -- and we're just getting caught up and drawn in, and the show's history. Sigh. Amy Acker ("Fred" and the alien version of "Fred") was at the Saturn Awards last night, looking pretty and fresh. "Angel" creator Joss Whedon was there too.

Pre-Prison Partier: Martha Stewart -- albeit looking dour -- is getting her socialization in. She was out last night at the Waldorf Astoria at The American Society of Magazine Editors' 39th annual National Magazine Awards. There is, afterall, a magazine named for her.

She's So Irresistible: No one cares where she's actually ranked, because she's friggin' gor-jus -- super promoter Anna Kornikova is the spokesperson for the "Most Irresistible Face" contest, sponsored by Gilette.

Beckinsale's Back: "Van Helsing" (we're hoping it's not as bad as critics say) star Kate Beckinsale is busily promoting the film, showing up in back-bearing designer duds (in purply hot pink and black, respectively) at the Carson Daly and David Letterman shows. The black jumpsuit was cut in front down to there, but Kate's just the gal to wear it -- it suits her.

Spring Fling: At the New York City Ballet 2004 Spring Gala - Balanchine's 100 in New York last night, Sarah Jessica Parker and Barbara Walters opted out of Cinco de Mayo festivities and into the more American classic, ballet. Parker wore a vibrant green dress with two layers of ruffles at the hip and Walters added panache to her black dress with a hot pink silk shawl -- Lily Pulitzer's favorite spring colors. BTW, Parker had her hair up in a very flattering Holly Go-Lightly bun, replete with sparkly barrette. Petra Nemcova wore a similar hairstyle, also yesterday, at the 3rd Annual Tribeca Film Festival - "Point & Shoot" Premiere at Pace in NYC.


Film Fans: The Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing and Meg and former hubby Jack White were among the indie crowd at "Coffee and Cigarettes" last night. Also attending: Steve Buscemi, Matt Dillon, Eddie Izzard, Eva Mendes, and Steve Van Zandt. Both Mendes and Meg White chose ivory silk which offered a pretty contrast to both White's pale complextion and Mendes' dark one.
