Iron Mountain, the Boston-based data storage company that’s also famously known for shredding a whole lot of paper, has a little known cool side to it, as this picture shows. At Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, that’s Jeff Anthony, vice president of Iron Mountain’s entertainment services and Steve Nottingham, senior vice president and general manager for data backup and recovery, sandwiching none other than will.i.am. What’s Iron Mountain doing hanging out with the music glitterati? As the Globe wrote earlier this week, the company is at the forefront of digitizing the incredible collection of cultural artifacts it stores, from Beatles albums to Steven Spielberg movies.

Didn’t score a ticket to the star-studded concert May 30 to benefit the One Fund? Garden Neighborhood Charities, TD Garden’s philanthropic arm, is raffling off a suite for the show, which will feature Aerosmith, Jason Aldean, New Kids on the Block, James Taylor and Carole King, the J. Geils Band, and Jimmy Buffett, among others. (The winner gets 12 tickets in a private suite.) Raffle tickets are $5 each at www.bruinsraffles.org and all proceeds benefit The One Fund.

Before shooting started on “Behind the Candelabra,” director Steven Soderbergh’s biopic about Liberace and his lover Scott Thorson, producers of the film placed a call to Rob Norris, owner of the Piano Mill, a piano restoration company in Rockland.

They were looking for the Baldwin SD-10 concert grand adorned with rhinestones that was known to be Liberace’s favorite piano. “I’m the indefinite custodian of it,” Norris told us Monday. “A few years ago, my Baldwin rep called me and said they needed a home for it, so I have it.” That’s right, the spectacularly bejeweled piano that Liberace traveled the world with is — or was — ensconced at the Piano Mill. Over the weekend, the ornate instrument was loaded onto a truck and taken to New York.

The Friends of the Public Garden hosted their annual Green and White Ball, chaired this year by Alli Achtmeyer, Kate Gilbane, and Katherine O’Keeffe. Over 200 guests attended the fund-raiser at the Taj Boston Hotel, raising over $370,000 to pay for improvements to Boston Common, the Public Garden, and the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.

Merle Grandberg was honored at the Jewish Community Housing for the Elderly’s annual event, co-chaired by Dan Kraft and wife Wendy, Lynne Elfland, Ellen Mittman and Robin Polishook. Grandberg has been JCHE’s board chair for 3 years and has long been active with Combined Jewish Philanthropies.

Supposedly, James Taylor is on a sabbatical this year, hoping to make a new album slated for release in 2014. But you’d never guess it given how busy he’s been lately. JT’s off to D.C., this week to pay tribute to Carole King, who’ll receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House. Then he’ll be back home for the May 30 Boston Strong benefit concert for The One Fund. Eventually, Taylor says, he’ll turn his attention to the next album. “It’s been a while,” Taylor told the Globe. “I’ve released a lot of stuff over the past decade, but it’s been 10 years since I’ve had an album of original, studio-recorded stuff [2002’s “October Road”]

Contrary to what Thomas Wolfe wrote, you can go home again. Just ask Joey McIntyre. The New Kid on the Block has been living in LA for several years, but he’s just bought a home on the South Shore. According to the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds, Joey Mac and his wife, Barrett, paid $450,000 for a place in Plymouth. No, the kid from Roslindale isn’t uprooting his family and moving back. “We’re firmly in LA — kids, school, career, etc. — but we found a little getaway in Plymouth,” McIntyre told us. “It’s nice to know my kids will have a piece of Boston in their lives.” (He and his wife have three children.) . . .

With Beyoncé reportedly pregnant with her second child, we are reminded of the kerfuffle that followed the birth of her first child. You’ll recall that Beyoncé and Jay-Z named their first baby Blue Ivy, and they did what all proud parents do: They filed a trademark application to protect their baby’s name. That made Boston event planner Veronica Alexandra nervous, because she owns a business called Blue Ivy. She then filed her own trademark application, and in 2012 the US Patent and Trademark Office approved her application. In case Beyoncé and Jay-Z are thinking of naming their second child after another Boston-based business, we thought we’d help with a few suggestions for the sibling of Blue Ivy Carter.

More than 80 Boston artists, organized by Jeremy Alliger of Alliger Arts, spent time over the weekend sprucing up an overlooked parcel outside Dudley Square, turning it into the largest street display in the city. Cedric Douglas and Percy Fortini-Wright were two of the artists taking part in Mural Fest, contributing a portrait of civil rights activist Rosa Parks. .

Patriots QB Tom Brady, wife Gisele Bundchen, and their children joined Brady’s mother and father and assorted family members Saturday as TB12’s older sister Nancy graduated from BU’s School of Public Health. . . . The day before donning cap and gown to deliver the commencement address at Suffolk University, Pats owner Robert Kraft and 34 current and former players and coaches led a football clinic in Newtown, Conn., scene of a tragic school shooting last December. Among those taking part were Jerod Mayo, Devin McCourty, Matthew Slater, Rob Gronkowski, Rob Ninkovich, Nate Solder, and Dont’a Hightower, and Pats Hall of Famer Gino Cappelletti. Kraft also gave jerseys signed by Patriots players to Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Is Rob Gronkowski being told to curb his enthusiasm again? Last winter, after the hard-partying tight end was seen wrestling in Las Vegas — with a broken forearm — many believe he was told by team officials to calm down. (A few weeks after the wrestling incident, Gronk was pulled out as red carpet Oscar correspondent for the “Rich Eisen Podcast.”) Well, last week we noticed that an entity called JumpSeat was offering fans a chance to fly to Las Vegas with Gronkowski in a private jet — for a mere $40,000. (Presumably, what happens on the plane to Vegas stays on the plane to Vegas.)

John Connaughton, a managing partner at Bain Capital, and his wife, Stephanie, opened their enormous Chestnut Hill home to more than 600 guests to host the Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston’s annual House Party fund-raiser. The event raised more than $2.5 million.

Between Benghazi, the IRS badgering the tea party, and assorted other brush fires, it’s hard to imagine President Obama will have time for a vacation this summer. But apparently he will. There’s been no official word from the White House, but we’re hearing the Obamas have their eyes on a house in Farm Neck on Martha’s Vineyard. During three previous visits, POTUS and FLOTUS and their daughters Malia and Sasha stayed at Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark. But British architect Norman Foster has since bought the place for $21.9 million. Farm Neck is secluded and, most importantly for the president, has a nice golf club....

The Revere Hotel opened its new rooftop bar and lounge with a party hosted by Karen Mulligan, studio manager for celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz, and Jill Demling, an editor at Vogue and a Weston native. (Mulligan and Demling are the co-owners of surf/swimwear line, Pret a Surf, which the hotel’s staff wore at the party.) Demling’s pal, actress Christina Ricci, made the scene with her fiance James Heerdegen, as did stylist Susan Joy, restaurateur David Marino, Revere Hotel GM Simon Mais, Ben Mezrich and wife Tonya Chen Mezrich, HGTV’s Taniya Nayak, Shag owner Sandy Poirier, channel 7’s Janet Wu, and shoe designer Thom Solo.

The cast of director Barry Levinson’s Whitey Bulger biopic is taking shape. Joining Johnny Depp, who’s on board to play the notorious gangster in the movie based on Dick Lehr and Gerald O’Neill’s book, “Black Mass: The True Story Of An Unholy Alliance Between The FBI And The Irish Mob,” is Joel Edgerton. Deadline.com reports that the Australian actor who costars in director Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” has signed on to play crooked FBI agent John Connolly. We’re told filming is set to begin in August. Producer Brian Oliver has promised a project that paints “a vivid portrait of Boston’s underbelly and its corrupt political machine, as well as exposing the worst scandal in FBI history.

Star Trek: Into Darkness’’ has warped its way to a $70.6 million domestic launch from Friday to Sunday, though it’s not setting any light-speed records with a debut that’s lower than the studio’s expectations. The latest voyage of the starship Enterprise fell short of its predecessor, 2009’s ‘‘Star Trek,’’ which opened with $75.2 million.

“I want to tell you how I wish I had ended that [Oscar] speech: I couldn’t do any of the things I do without you, without your support. You’re my angel, my life, my world.”

- Ben Affleck, talking to wife Jennifer Garner during the opening of “Saturday Night Live.”

Celebrated chef Mario Batali was in Boston Friday whipping up a dinner with his friend Radius chef/owner Michael Schlow. The party served two purposes: It welcomed the famed New York foodie to Boston — Batali’s about to open an Italian restaurant in South Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood — and it marked the closing of Radius, a Financial District mainstay for 15 years that will reopen elsewhere with a new name. (Schlow has said he would not close the restaurant but the lease is up.) Batali’s new place, Babbo Pizzeria e Enoteca, will be located on Summer Street and be focused on wood-burning brick oven Italian-style pizza and a variety of pastas, antipasti, and gelati.

Lo Galluccio is the city of Cambridge’s newest Poet Populist, chosen by residents to represent the art of poetry for the city. According to a press release, Galluccio will “have the opportunity to affect the artistic landscape of the Cambridge community and help the unique creative spirit of Cambridge thrive.” A Cambridge native and Harvard grad, Galluccio is the sister of Anthony Galluccio, the former Democratic state senator who resigned from the Legislature and spent time in jail for violating the terms of his house arrest by consuming alcohol. Lo Galluccio had claimed that it was her brother’s toothpaste — not alcohol — that caused the positive reading on the breath-testing machine.

We wondered what Denis Leary would do after “Rescue Me,” and now we know — a TV show combining comedy with EMTs, two worlds he knows well. According to The Hollywood Reporter, USA Network has given the green light to Leary’s version of “Sirens,” a UK series that starred “Games of Thrones” actor Richard Madden. The remake will center on three Chicago EMTs who find it impossible to sustain relationships but have a knack for saving the lives of those who end up in their ambulance. The cast includes Michael Mosley (“Pan Am”), Kevin Daniels (“Modern Family”), Jessica McNamee (“The Vow”), and Kevin Bigley (“Game Change”). Leary has been largely out of view since “Rescue Me” went off the air after seven successful seasons.

Everyone is fighting to find a cure for cancer, but the wannabe boxers who stepped into the ring this week at Boston’s House of Blues are actually fighting. Thirty men and women traded jabs and uppercuts at Haymakers for Hope, a hard-hitting fund-raiser for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Cofounded by Julie Anne Kelly and Andrew Myerson, the charity boxing tournament put the aspiring pugilists into the ring after giving them four free months of training. (None had previous fighting experience.) The event, emceed by Jam’n 94.5’s Ramiro Torres, raised over $200,000.

Three prominent BoSox fans were behind enemy lines this week as Brookline’s Larry Ruttman, author of the new book, “American Jews and America’s Game: Voices of a Growing Legacy in Baseball,” Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, and film critic Jeffrey Lyons got together at New York’s 92nd Street Y to talk baseball from a Boston perspective. . . . In town to see his son graduate from BU, ”Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston stopped for a bite at Joe Milano’s Union Oyster House. . . . Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis will receive an honorary degree at this weekend’s Suffolk University commencement, and he’ll also be handing a diploma to his daughter, Kaitlyn Davis , who’s graduating.

Hundreds gathered this week for Greater Boston PFLAG’s annual gala, which honored Rufus Gifford, the national finance director for President Obama’s reelection campaign and the son of former Bank of America boss Chad Gifford and wife Anne. The national nonprofit is made up of parents, families, and friends of lesbians and gays.

This should be a victory tour for Linda Chorney, who became a first-time Grammy nominee last year at the age of 51. When Chorney pulls into town for appearances May 23 at the Goodnow Library in her native Sudbury and May 28 at Porter Square Books, she should be all smiles, encouraged that her years playing ski resorts, sports bars, and house concerts finally paid off.

But the Grammy nod for Chorney’s CD “Emotional Jukebox” didn’t make her feel good, and not because she lost to Levon Helm in the best Americana album category. The backlash was so severe against Chorney — a virtual unknown before her nomination — that she’s changed her tune.

Seth Meyers will be taking over “Late Night” once current host Jimmy Fallon moves on to “The Tonight Show.” But that doesn’t mean Meyers is signing off “Saturday Night Live” this weekend. “I’m nowhere near emotionally ready for Saturday to be my last show,” Meyers said Thursday on “Today.” “I wouldn’t be able to handle that.” Fans of “SNL” wouldn’t be too happy either, especially now that Bill Hader has announced that he’s exiting the NBC show and rumors are swirling that cast veterans Fred Armisen and Jason Sudeikis could be next out the door. Meyers says he’ll be back at “SNL” for the first half of next season . . .

The Hawthorne was the place to be after Boston Bites Back, the chef-tacular benefit for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. When the crowd at Fenway finally had its fill, several of the chefs headed to The Hawthorne for an after party hosted by owner Garrett Harker and Eastern Standard’s Jeremy Sewall and Jackson Cannon. Stopping by were chefs Jody Adams, Todd English, Louis DiBiccari, Nancy Cushman, Patrick Lee, Josh Childs, and BBB organizers Ming Tsai and Ken Oringer. While it may have fallen short of its $1 million goal, the event’s online auction — offering an on-field meet and greet with Bill Belichick, a first pitch at Fenway, and a day of beauty with Gretta Monahan, among other items — is at www.charitybuzz.com/auctions/bostonbitesback.

Celtics forward Brandon Bass was one of the taller guests at this week’s Dress for a Cause fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The 6-foot-8 Bass was present in part to support his fiancee, Melissa Prejean, who was among the celebrity models showing off spring fashions from Kgirl and Sara Campbell. Also hitting the catwalk were TV types Bianca de la Garza, J.C. Monahan and Kelley Tuthill ...Meanwhile, Bass’s teammates Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo were spied this week hanging out on the island of Anguilla in the Caribbean....

The Dropkick Murphys have a show in Albuquerque May 30, so it’s unlikely the band will be shippin’ back to Boston for the star-studded concert that night at TD Garden benefiting the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. (They’d have to play a short set anyway because the bill for Boston Strong: An Evening of Support and Celebration already includes Aerosmith, Jason Aldean, Boston, Jimmy Buffett, Dane Cook, Extreme, The J. Geils Band, Godsmack, James Taylor, Carole King, and New Kids on The Block, among others.) But the Dropkicks are doing their part. Ken Casey and the boys this week released a three-song EP that includes a new version of the band’s song, “Rose Tattoo,” featuring vocals by Bruce Springsteen.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper hosts an hourlong documentary about the Boston Marathon bombings Friday, and it features several of the powerful pictures shot by Boston Globe photographer John Tlumacki. “Back to Boston – Moments of Impact,” airing at 10 p.m., tells the stories behind some of Tlumacki’s images. He and other photographers are interviewed by CNN’s Randi Kaye about capturing emotional moments in the midst of such a tragedy.

The events of April 15 are not lost on Bradley Cooper. The actor, who had attended the interfaith service for victims of the Marathon bombings, was photographed this week wearing a “Boston Strong” T-shirt while walking around the set of “American Hustle,” the movie he’s been shooting here with Jennifer Lawrence and director David O. Russell.

At its annual spring gala at the JFK Library this week, Catholic Charities honored Marshall and Barbara Sloane, founders of Century Bank. Cardinal Sean O’Malley, archbishop of the Boston Archdiocese, said the Sloanes come from the “venerable Jewish tradition of repairing the world through action that improves the lives of others.”

It was an orgy of food at Fenway Park Wednesday as some of the finest chefs from Boston and beyond gathered for a one-of-a-kind benefit for the One Fund. The event, which was dubbed Boston Bites Back by organizers Ken Oringer and Ming Tsai, was certainly the tastiest fund-raiser yet for the victims of the Marathon bombings. Guests paid between $100 and $1,000 to get in the door, where dozens of chefs were cooking and serving from behind concession stands and at tables set up throughout the ballpark. Familiar faces included Mayor Tom Menino, Police Commissioner Ed Davis, Fire Commissioner Roderick Fraser, comedian Lenny Clarke, “Person of Interest” costar Kevin Chapman, former Patriots Matt Light and Steve DeOssie, and spa magnate Gretta Monahan.

Designer Thom Filicia — you probably know him better as one-fifth of Bravo’s long-ago reality show “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” — signed copies of his latest book, “American Beauty,” at an opening event for the Kohler Signature Store by Supply New England in Natick. An opening event and an opening are two different things. The store doesn’t open to the public until Saturday. . . . Actor Bill Paxton, in town for Wednesday’s Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund event, had dinner and drinks with friends at Sonsie.

The weather wasn’t ideal but hundreds of people still turned out for Wednesday’s Party in the Park benefiting the Emerald Necklace Conservancy. Now in its 10th year, the annual Hat Party raised close to $1 million for the stewardship of the meadows, woodlands, and paths designed by the late, great landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

We’re not in Wrentham anymore. Ayla Brown, daughter of former US Senator Scott Brown, will make her debut at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on May 25. The former “American Idol” contestant is a country singer these days, and will perform two songs — “Pride of America” and “Hero in Her Hometown” — from her new CD. “When I moved to Nashville two years ago, I went to my first Opry show and was mesmerized during the entire two hours,” Brown said in a statement. “To get the opportunity to debut on that stage on Memorial Day weekend is such an honor, and I will never forget this for the rest of my life.”

Oscar winner Morgan Freeman will be in town Sunday to receive an honorary degree at BU’s commencement. The 75-year-old actor, who won an Academy Award for his role in “Million Dollar Baby,” said in a statement that he’s proud to receive a Doctor of Humane Letters degree. “However,” he added, “we must never lose sight that there is no such thing as an honorary education.” Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp will deliver the commencement address and Robert Langer, the MIT professor and inventor, will also receive an honorary degree.

Director David O. Russell, whose movie “Silver Linings Playbook” received an Academy Award nomination for best adapted screenplay, will be honored with the Screenwriting Tribute Award at this summer’s Nantucket Film Festival, organizers announced Wednesday. Russell, who also directed “The Fighter” and just wrapped “American Hustle,” will be presented the award by Oscar nominee Glenn Close. Russell will also take part in the festival’s “In Their Shoes” program, along with actress Mariel Hemingway and director Barbara Kopple. The Nantucket Film Festival takes place this year from June 26-30.

Taylor Swift’s new neighbors in Watch Hill, R.I., may be regretting that the superstar singer moved into their exclusive seaside neighborhood. Why? Because when you have millions and millions of fans, there’s a strong chance a few of them will make a nuisance of themselves by trying to meet you. And that’s just what Lucas H. Vorsteveld, a 22-year-old Swift fan from Chicago, tried to do early Wednesday, according to police in Westerly, R.I. Vorsteveld was picked up by police at 2:15 a.m. after he allegedly tried to swim to a beach near the enormous house Swift just purchased in Watch Hill. “He was walking near her house and was arrested for trespassing,” Westerly police Captain Shawn Lacey told us.

Sean Hepburn Ferrer, son of the late Audrey Hepburn, was at the UNICEF Women’s Luncheon, held Tuesday at Hampshire House. (The actress was appointed UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1987 and her son now chairs the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s Audrey Hepburn Society.) “Our mother believed in education above all,” said Hepburn Ferrer, who works in the movie business. “New England is the cradle of the America civilization, and the home to the greatest education on the planet, so it seems like a natural thought that we focus on that. It’s also the only longterm solution to getting UNICEF to not be the only the fireman of the world but also to bring and deliver an education for all children.”

Maurice Hines, who’s in town performing “Tappin Thru Life: An Evening with Maurice Hines” at the Cutler Majestic Theatre, spoke the other night at the Museum of African American History. Hines is the brother of acclaimed tap dancer Gregory Hines. . . . Meanwhile, at its annual gala, the museum honored actress-playwright Anna Deavere Smith with its Living Legend Award. . . . Newbury Street stylists Patrice Vinci, Dean Mellen, Desi, Roberto Echevarria, Keisha Galloway, and Alexandra Ellis set up shop this week at the Ritz Carlton in New York to style the stars at the NBC Upfronts. Getting their glam on were Minnie Driver, Sean Hayes, Dermot Mulroney, Megan Boone, and Betsy Brant, who plays Michael J. Fox’s wife in “The Michael J. Fox Show.”

Gisele Bundchen gave birth to her second child just six months ago, but you’d never know it judging from the picture she posted on Instagram Tuesday. Motherhood clearly agrees with Tom Brady’s 32-year-old supermodel spouse, who looks limber as she does yoga with a pal. (We’re told that’s a variation of the Twisting Warrior pose.) “A beautiful way to start the morning practicing with my friend Cristina Kalyani Paes,” wrote Gisele. “Wishing you a joyful day!”

A state appeals court panel has revived Boston founder Tom Scholz’s defamation suit against his late bandmate Brad Delp’s ex-wife.

The decision is a victory for Scholz, who sued Micki Delp and the Boston Herald for defamation after a series of articles was published following the singer’s 2007 suicide. The courts eventually dismissed both suits, but Scholz filed appeals. No decision has been made on the Herald suit.

Scholz, mastermind of the rock band Boston, known for its mega-selling hits “More Than a Feeling” and “Don’t Look Back,” sued after the Boston Herald’s Inside Track writers Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa wrote articles about Brad Delp’s death that quoted Delp’s former wife along with other unnamed sources.

Ari Seth Cohen owes his career to his grandmother, but not because he inherited her business or her wealth. Cohen shares her sense of style. “My grandma was one of my best friends,” he says. “She was a wonderful example of getting older, staying active, and staying creative as you get older.” A New York-based photographer, Cohen runs the popular blog Advanced Style, which is focused on fashionable women in their 70s, 80s, and beyond. We caught up with him at Hebrew SeniorLife’s Orchard Cove in Canton, where he was chatting with a group of admiring - and adventurous - oldsters.

One of the items being auctioned at Greater Boston PFLAG’s annual fundraiser Thursday is a Celtics No. 98 jersey signed by Jason Collins, the NBA player who recently acknowledged that he’s gay. In his Sports Illustrated story, Collins revealed that he chose #98 for the C’s (and later the Washington Wizards) because 1998 was the year University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was kidnapped and tortured in an attack that cost him his life and galvanized the gay community. “My one small gesture of solidarity” was to wear #98, Collins wrote. Thursday’s event in the Kelleher Rose Garden in the Fens is a benefit for the national nonprofit is made up of parents, families, and friends of lesbians and gays.

The state’s congressional delegation is marking the one-month anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings with a benefit for The One Fund at Legal Sea Foods in Washington. Mayor Tom Menino and Governor Deval Patrick were both invited, but neither can attend. (Menino because of health issues, and the governor because he’s scheduled to be in Ireland.) Otherwise, says Legal Sea Foods owner Roger Berkowitz, every member of the delegation has RSVP’d. The invitation lists suggested donations of $1,000 for friends, $5,000 for sponsors, and $10,000 for the host committee. “We’ll take whatever we can get,” Berkowitz told us. “It’s just a way for people in D.C. with a connection to Boston to help.”

New Patriots receiver Danny Amendola has a tough task trying to fill Wes Welker’s shoes. So maybe it makes sense that his first TV ad as a member of the Pats is for Foot Locker. In the spot, called “Park Run,” Amendola is in a park with a friend and trying to prove that he doesn’t need cool ASICS sneakers to get attention. “I’m kind of a big deal in New England right now,” he says. And to prove it, he stops a woman who’s running past. “You know who I am, right?” he says. We’ll let you guess her response.

It’s been said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and we totally agree. So, it seems, does Seiji Ozawa. Though living these days in Tokyo, the former conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra clearly still keeps the Hub close to his heart. Ozawa took this adorable photo with his daughter, Seira, wearing Boston Strong T-shirts sent to them by the BSO. Ozawa reports that he’s recovered from cancer and will be back on the podium this summer.

That’s a wrap. The cast and crew of director David O. Russell’s “American Hustle” celebrated the end of filming with a party Sunday at Bond, the lounge at the Langham Hotel. Over 200 people attended, we’re told, including actor Jeremy Renner, who arrived pushing a baby carriage with the baby’s mother, Sonni Pacheco; former Golden Gloves champ Dicky Eklund (who was played in Russell’s film, “The Fighter,” by Christian Bale), and others. Since “American Hustle” is set in the 1970s, the party soundtrack was heavy on ’70s dance hits, including Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love.” . . . Kevin Bacon and Cindy Crawford were spied, separately, checking out of the Nine Zero Hotel over the weekend.

The Revere Hotel celebrated its one-year anniversary with an over-the-top party produced by night life nabob Susanne Bartsch and a staff of 50 eccentric New York performers. Among those hanging out Saturday night in the hotel’s Space 57 were Ace Gershfield, Frankie Stavrianopoulos, Sal Boscarino, Shag owner Sandy Poirier, Janet Wu, Bianca de la Garza, Marilyn Riseman, ghoulish model-performance artist Amanda Lapore, and former “Baywatch” beauty Traci Bingham. A portion of the evening’s proceeds will benefit the One Fund.

Filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom was among the honorary degree recipients at Simmons College’s commencement ceremony over the weekend. A onetime actress and the wife of California’s Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, Siebel Newsom co-executive produced the Oscar-nominated documentary “Invisible War,” about sexual assault in the US military. . . . At 26, Millennium Campus Network cofounder Sam Vaghar was the youngest person ever to deliver the commencement address at Lynn University.
