Governor's Ball

All posts related to Governor's Ball on Guest of a Guest for Governor's Ball.


Following a fully-loaded week of pre-parties in anticipation of the 2013 Oscars, last night boasted some of the most lavish, star-studded events of the year for the final hurrah of awards season. Between the annual Governors Ball, Vanity Fair party and Elton John's Viewing party, all of Hollywood came out to celebrate the 85th Annual Academy Awards and we have the guest lists, photos and details from inside for you in this special Oscar Night edition of Last Night's Parties.

The top two headliners for the 2013 Governors Ball have been released, and it's the most impressive lineup to date. Kanye West and Kings of Leon top the bill, appearing alongside a third artist yet to be announced. Kanye will be performing his first solo show in NYC since 2008, and it'll be Kings of Leon's first show in the city since 2010. We did some investigating of our own, and we think we've figured out the third headliner. Check out who our money is on below! More»

The Primetime Emmys once again sweep through L.A. this weekend and hopefully you understand at this point that means so much more than a red carpet awards ceremony, trophies and endless worst-dressed lists to see who pulled a Björk.

Just because you didn't get nominated this year doesn't mean you can't get in on the fun, so take at this year's hottest Emmy celebrations in the GofG L.A. 2012 Emmy Weekend Party Guide. More»
