Tattle: Golden Globe Redux, TV News

News about Television Critics Assocation's winter meetings in California on Stephen Colbert, David Letterman and Michael McKean

HOLLYWOOD kept a low profile yesterday, when everyone who's everyone, including the nonstop partying (and according to TMZ, allegedly Rihanna lip-locking) Leonardo DiCaprio, ought to have stayed in their jammies and rehydrated themselves post Sunday's Golden Globes.

In case you missed the endless awards-show rehash, the reviews and rumors went like this:

Hosts Amy Poehler and Upper Darby's own Tina Fey dissed longtime Philadelphian Bill Cosby, and did a just-OK job co-mastering the ceremonies.

J-Lo reprised her famous low-cut look. J-Anis reprised Angelina Jolie's high-cut leg look. (Not that she was imitating. She's totally moved on from Brad. Totally.)

Margaret Cho raised hundreds of well-groomed eyebrows with her North Korean dictator impression.

George Clooney had a "Je suis Charlie" moment, while be-gloved barrister bride Amal Alamuddin looked on.

Myriad celebrities, never tired of their own images, snapped endless selfies.

Most. Not Alamuddin, who also magically avoided her fellow guests' uncomfortable communal sweating session. The Beverly Hilton had the A/C off. The human-rights lawyer stayed cool.

This, that, the other

* People.com reported that Topher Grace, of "That '70s Show," and Ashley Hinshaw, of "True Blood," are engaged.

Vampire sitcom about a guy who looks too old for his bride to ensue?

George Zimmerman got arrested for allegedly assaulting an ex-girlfriend with a wine bottle.

The former couple claimed to be having an art-related dispute. Naturally.

Charlie Sheen made out with a fellow Packers fan - a dude - in Green Bay on Sunday night. Even a tiger can change his stripes. Or something.

Small screen, big news

People Paper TV critic Ellen Gray reports from the Television Critics Association's winter meetings in Pasadena, Calif.:

Many actors, confronted with a reporter from a city not their own, will try to connect: They have an aunt/second cousin in Philly, once played a club there or passed through on their way to somewhere else.

Michael McKean, who, starting Feb. 8, will be co-starring with Bob Odenkirk in AMC's "Breaking Bad" spin-off, "Better Call Saul," can top that.

He's descended from someone who spent considerable time in Philadelphia - in the 18th century.

His ancestor, Thomas McKean, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, he told me Saturday, as soon as I'd introduced myself.

"He was the last one to sign. Our family motto was, 'I'll get around to it,' " joked McKean.

As for the present-day McKean, you'll have to wait to see what he's up to on "Saul," where even talking about his character might constitute a spoiler.

* "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will premiere Sept. 8, CBS entertainment president Nina Tassler announced yesterday.

As for format, it's still hazy.

Given that David Letterman will be exiting the show he created on May 20 - no doubt with considerable fanfare - what's CBS going to be doing with that real estate over the summer, you might ask?

Reruns of other CBS shows.
