At tonight’s really big La Pizza soiree (yes, a second one), thrown by either IHOP’s Jeff Hill or MPRM’s Mark Pogachefsky, or maybe they split the tab, or maybe it was two sit-downs side-by-side. (l. to r.) Warner Independent publicist James Lewis, MPRM’s Karen Oberman and Jessica Kimiabakhsh, MRC’s Brooke Blumberg, and Pogachefsky himself — Wednesday, 5.16.07, 10:25 pm. Hill is pushing Juan Antonio Bayona‘s The Orphanage, Gus Van Sant‘s Paranoid Park, Ocean’s Thirteen and Sony Classics’ Persepolis; MPRM is promoting Ramin Bahrani‘s Chop Shop, DreamWorks’ The Bee Movie (i.e., that Jerry Seinfeld thing), and Leonardo DiCaprio‘s The 11th Hour.
