The scoop on Les Deux's Emmy Awards party

So, I was wrong. John Legend isn’t the super secret performer at this year’s Entertainment Tonight/People Emmy Awards party as I suspected. But he is getting in on the Emmy action. I just got wind that he’s headlining the TV Guide party at Les Deux instead. (So exciting!)

Also on the bill is Band From TV, Greg Grunberg’s band with James Denton, Bob Guiney, Bonnie Somerville and Hugh Laurie. I saw them play at last year’s TV Guide after-party at Social Hollywood and I can tell you this: There’s nothing Hugh Laurie can’t do well. (He better freakin' win an Emmy next Sunday.)

Samantha Ronson is DJing the event, but that’s not all. TV Guide is turning Les Deux into a French-inspired playground evocative of Marie Antoinette’s lavish fetes. There’ll be 12 bars, black chandeliers, a classic French garden (trimmed hedges, topiaries, and juniper trees), and costumed “champagne girls” pushing carts of bubbly. (I’m just bubbly thinking about it.)
