Golden Globe night is always the night of the breast -- curves and cleavage enhanced by cosmetology or fashion -- or, in some cases, betrayed by them. "Yikes!" said presenter Nicole Kidman, adjusting the top of her side-less gown before announcing Sean Penn the best actor in a drama. Mary-Louise Parker added a category to the endless thank-you when she accepted the award as supporting actress in a series, miniseries or movie made for television for her work in "Angels in America." Before the show, she explained, fellow "West Wing" actress Janel Moloney promised to give Parker $1,000 if she publicly thanked her 3-week-old son, William, for the voluptuousness of her breasts. So Parker did. "Get out your checkbook," she said. Laughing at 'Pictures': "Everybody" was talking about Peter Biskind's book "Down and Dirty Pictures," a searing look at Miramax and its overheated leader, Harvey Weinstein. Former Miramax exec Mark Gill, now head of Warner Independent Pictures, was reading the book on a plane trip from L.A. to Paris, laughing so loudly that a flight attendant admonished: "Monsieur, silence s'il vous plait." The book, Gill said, "was like crack." None of this was lost on Weinstein. "You should hit somebody tonight," Weinstein joked to actor Johnny Depp as the two stood on a smoking patio. "Then they'll write a book about you."
