abounded at the third annual
Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at
Will Rogers State Historic Park
in Paci鍖c Palisades, Calif., on
Saturday afternoon. Guests
including Rebecca Romijn and
Jerry OConnell, Alessandra Ambrosio
and Jamie Mazur, Selma Blair and
Jason Bleick and cohosts Rachel
Zoe and Rodger Berman arrived
with their offspring in tow to
the sporting event, which was
inspired by the Epic Polo Match
of 1922 in New Delhi.
Ambrosios four-year-old
daughter, Anja Louise, received
the game ball from player Ricardo
Mansur, a fellow Brazilian.
Shes a big fan. He has
known her since she was born,
the model explained as her
daughter excitedly recounted
the moment in Portuguese as
she clutched her gift.
Nacho Figueras, who cohosted
with wife Del鍖na Blaquier, was
named the Most Valuable Player
as his Black Watch team edged
rival Nespresso by a mere
point. After the match, Figueras
walked his horse over to Zoe and
Bermans 18-month-old son Skyler,
whom he plans to take riding for
the 鍖rst time next summer.
Oh look, theres Uncle
Nacho! exclaimed Zoe, who
tipped her hat literally to
the Indian theme by pairing a
vintage Dior turban with pieces
from her fall collection.
Despite her British roots,
Ashley Madekwe revealed that she
had only attended a faux polo
match thanks to a bit of smallscreen magic on Revenge.

IT WAS ALL ABOUT girl power
at Varietys fourth annual Power
of Women luncheon Friday
at the Four Seasons Beverly
Wilshire hotel in Beverly
Hills. The event, presented
by Lifetime, celebrated the
philanthropic work of Jessica
Biel, Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner,
among others.
The best thing a man can do
for a long life is to have a wife,
said Biel, who was honored for
her work with Charity: Water.
And the best thing a
woman can do is to have great
girlfriends, she concluded as
Justin Timberlake cheered on his
鍖anc辿e from the crowd.
Garner and Berry also
arrived with their men in tow;
Ben Af鍖eck presented an award
to honoree Sue Kroll, president,
worldwide marketing for
Warner Bros. Pictures, for her
work with Film Independent,
while Olivier Martinez pulled
his leading ladys waist close
as they sat down in their
front-and-center seats. Other
honorees included Felicity
Huffman, Katherine Heigl, Queen
Latifah and host Maria Menounos.
The affair was brimming
with Tinsletown ladies showing
their fellow colleagues support,
including Ashley Greene, Dania
Ramirez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Stacy
Keibler, Anne Heche and Paula Patton.
Gushing gal pals Garner
and Biel posed cheek to cheek
for pictures between laughs as
they proclaimed their love for
each other. Always the Shirley
to my Laverne, Garner said.
To which Biel later revealed
onstage, Theres a 鍖ne line
between admiring someone and
creepily wanting to actually
be them. And I feel like Im
constantly walking that line
with you.

Hell probably kill me for
telling you, but Josh [Bowman]
was on the back of a truck,
not a horse, the actress, who
donned sky-high Herv辿 L辿ger
sandals, divulged.
Ali Larter performed the
ceremonial bowl-in at the game,
which raised funds to maintain
Los Angeles last remaining polo
鍖eld, where Clark Gable, Walt
Disney and Douglas Fairbanks
once played. Vintage ros辿
Champagne 鍖owed for guests,
including Mandy Moore, Donovan
Leitch, Lauren Conrad and Rose
McGowan, who nibbled on Indianinspired fare like curried salmon
and samosas, and protected
themselves from the sun with
parasols and fans.
Minnie Driver, whose stepfather
played polo, grew up attending
matches in Barbados.
I love the horses, and when
I was a teenager I loved the
polo players, she said, joking
that she cured herself of that
by dating a few.
That left more for Ashley
Greene, who, in a bit of an
understatement, admitted,
Theyre not bad to look at
before promising to investigate.

Hammering It Home
THE HAMMER Museums
annual Gala in the Garden,
which took place Saturday
night in the courtyard of
its Westwood building, is
traditionally one of Los
Angeles more highbrow art
benefits, where collectors
and artists take precedent
over celebrity guests (unless
said celebrities are actually
art aficionados).
This years 10th anniversary
event, which raised $2 million
for the museum, had both,
with Elizabeth and Armie Hammer
cochairing along with Jeanne and
Anthony Pritzker. Hammer is the
great-grandson of the museums
founder, Dr. Armand Hammer.
Although he was one of the
more ogled sights at the dinner,
the actor kept his remarks
brief, perhaps in deference to
a more seasoned performer
and art lover, Steve Martin, who
presented honoree and friend
Ashley
Greene in
Antonio
Berardi.

For Halloween, Cindy
Sherman goes as herself,
Martin said with his usual
deadpan delivery. The crowd,
which included Tom Ford and
Richard Buckley (who 鍖elded
congratulations on the recent
arrival of their son), Tom Hanks
and Rita Wilson, Will Ferrell and
Viveca Paulin, Mark Bradford, Ed
Ruscha, Taryn Simon, Doug Aitken,
Jeanne Tripplehorn and Leland
Orser, Rosanna Arquette, Monique
Lhuillier and John C. Reilly,
relished Martins comic relief
as did the evenings other
honoree, Barbara Kruger, who
said, Theres nothing funnier
than a guy in a white suit with
a knife through his head.
Rachel Maddow introduced
Kruger by praising her
trademark text lines and
noting, Barbara, I wanted to
apologize for using all your
quotes without attribution
in order to make me look
smarter than I am.
For those who were
still game after the lengthy
evening, Katy Perry performed
an energetic and barefoot
鍖ve-song set in a sparkly Elie
Saab gown (she changed out of
the Tadashi Shoji number she
wore during dinner).
I am kind of an art
a鍖cionado but I am more of a
nail-art a鍖cionado, so I hope
you will adopt me into your
ways, she told the crowd.
Nail art is very popular in
our group the tweens. And
the girls who think they are
still tweens.
