7:48 PM — Wesley Snipes and I just talked a little. Asked him how he was to have the IRS issue over. He said, he was, "much relieved." And when I pressed whether it was a good feeling, he gave an emphatic, "Hell yeah!" He's looking forward to getting back to the business of making movies.
8:01 PM — Just talked with Steve Guttenberg and Marlee Matlin and asked them who's going to win. Marlee said she was, and when I asked who was going down in flames, she pointed to Guttenberg. Very cute rapport. She said he'll lose so he can vote for her. Guttenberg and I talked about living for the moment. He lost his labrador of 15 years two nights ago, but is taking it OK. He said he won't get another dog.
8:10 PM — Tilda Swinton and her boyfriend hit the bar. She enjoyed a celebratory glass of white wine.
