You don’t have to be a studio bigwig to party with actors and rock stars—at least, you didn’t at the Atlanta Film Festival’s opening-night screening of “The People Speak” on Thursday, April 19. The film gives voice to various perspectives on key moments in American history, as read or performed by such celebrities as Eddie Vedder (pictured), Josh Brolin, Jasmine Guy, and the Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson—all of whom attended the screening and opening-night gala at the Rialto Center for the Perform...

Well, throw in up-and-comers Ben Deignan & Suburban Soul, the Less and high-school rockers Gypsum Groove, recruit Q100 personality Jeff Dauler to play host and make the whole thing a benefit for the Save Darfur Coalition.

Spotting celebrities in the ATL isn’t exactly a big deal. Still, it’s not every weekend that newly minted “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon pops into town, as he did last Saturday, March 21. The “Saturday Night Live” vet was the featured attraction at A Tony Evening, a 40th anniversary celebration/fundraiser for the Alliance Theatre at the W Midtown, where he performed for a crowd that included event chairperson Victoria Palefsky and Alliance Artistic Director Susan Booth. Fallon wasn’t the onl...
