A Defamer operative slips us this report from last night's NBC-Universal launch party for their scintillating (read: Joey and then everything else) fall schedule. Would it really kill a movie star (not so fast, Zach Braff!) to slum it at a TV event? Sure, you'd run the risk of mini NBC-Uni chief Jeff Zucker trying to crawl into your ear or bite your ankle, but come on, there's free coconut shrimp!

Got into the NBC/Universal fall launch party yesterday at Morton's on Melrose. A night of sleazy agents, free drinks, appetizers and plenty of c-list talent. Isn't that what Hollywood is all about?

Things were pretty boring early on, you can't get that excited eavesdropping on Dick Clark or watching the stars of Passions (or was it Days of Our Lives) try to work the utensils at the buffet trays. There were several highlights. Among them:

-Zach Braff walks in with his full hipster indie movie cred thing going on. Maybe it was me, but he was loving it in a "Now that I make movies, you guys are fucking toast" sort of way. Meanwhile, Sarah Chalke was doing the white-girl shimmy to Outkast.

-Mariska Hargitay, enjoying her Emmy-nominated hotness all over the place.

-Darius McCrary (ie Eddie Winslow from family matters) with his leather pants looking a little out of place, as in who would give him a job on a television show. He was only slightly more comfortable than his ghetto fabulous girl. The couple looked like they were off to Dublin's after the party. Too bad for them it's closed.

-Jill Hennessy, who is also hot, brought her husband and baby. The baby was cute and everybody was interested in making googily eyes at it. And just in case I forgot I was in LA, I noticed the baby was sporting a fauxhawk.

-Jeff Zucker and Matt LeBlanc were in conversation. I was too busy grabbing coconut shrimp from a waitress to listen to their conversation, but I assume they were discussing the odds of "Joey" lasting longer on the air than "Coupling". And apparently Jeff has decided that if he is losing the hair on his head, he can compensate by letting it go wild on his neck.

-Last but not least was Eric McCormack getting his Emmy Award winning self to the show about 5 minutes before the end. I guess the writers of Will and Grace came up with something that was actually funny and so they kept the crew there late in case it never happens again, which is a likely scenario.
