Ben Affleck did his charming ultra-charming thing while Tommy Lee Jones did the opposite. Martha Stewart took a tour of Campion's house and was probably secretly judgmental because she is Martha Stewart and therefore required. What else did people get in and up to last night?
The Company Men Premiere
Where: The Paris Theater, after-party Asellina at Gansevoort Park Avenue
Who Was There: Ben Affleck, Gay Talese, Chuck Scarborough, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, John Wells, Claire Rudnick Polstein, John Stossel, Ksenia Solo
Other Details: Jared Kushner tossed aside the ascot and donned what we're told was "some kind of disco-type 70s jeans underneath a black overcoat with a red scarf." Perhaps he knew John Stossel and his stache would be in the house and he wanted to make the whole event seem like one big theme party? Ben Affleck was dressed in the standard garb. Tommy Lee Jones was absent from the film because he got stuck in Brooklyn shooting Men in Black III, but was able to make it to the after-party. He could, as is clear from this image, hardly contain his joy. Someone get this man a Dobel Tequila please. [Via]
