The Los Angeles Times celebrated the launch of its new Image section at the new bar in in the Beverly Hills Hotel, Nineteen12, who co-hosted the event. Local Los Angelenos, Lauren Conrad (“The Hills”), Milo Ventigmilia (“Heroes”), Garcelle Beauvais (“Models Inc.”…did you enjoy that old-school reference?) were all on-hand among other guests to enjoy the festivities, which, judging from these red-carpet pix were pretty damned well-behaved. What? No Tara Reid or Bai Ling? What a shame, since with those two, you know you’re going to see at least one terror-inducing nipple on the red-carpet. But yes, it looks like everyone was fully-clothed and acting grown here last Thursday evening, as they enjoyed some cocktails and nibblies. Garcelle looks cute as a mom-to-be, although the peep-toe pilgrim shoes are baffling and I am loving LC’s mod little dress here. Although, really, Milo is looking at me like he wants to tell me something. I think it’s that my fly is open–damn, he’s good.
