The just-appointed Defamer Special Correspondent for Comic Book Conventions files this report from this weekend's Comic-Con geek-orgy, in which Oscar-winning stars like Adrien Brody and Jamie Foxx are forced to face Q & A panel humiliation while Jack Black is worshipped as a god:

A reader notes that Adrien Brody did in fact thank Roman Polanski in his Oscar speech (contrary to Cindy Adams' report yesterday.) His exact words were, "I'd like to thank Roman Polanski for the role of a lifetime." If, however, Mrs. Adams' quote was correct, this wasn't quite enthusiastic enough for Polanski.

· Liz Smith says we've unfairly locked her in the supply closet: "don't they know that Babs doesn't have a thing to do with me? I'm on her Z list. I'd be the last person she'd ever invite April 24!" [Liz Smith]
· Comedian Bill Maher was shocked and offended to learn that Details chief Dan Peres didn't reserve a VIP table for him and his ten friends at their pool party last week. "When you invite someone like me to a party..." he whined. [Page Six]

· Chicago producer Marty Richards wrapped his Oscar "in yards of bubblewrap, miles of masking tape, then a pair of pajamas thenand may the Peninsula Hotel knowstole two towels which he bunched around it, tied the entire enchilada with socks and bought a pink-lined leather bag to give it a comfortable flight to New York." [Cindy Adams]

Adrien Brody, who lost 30 pounds to play Szpilman in The Pianist, has kept off the weight. "The loss left me vulnerable, sensitive and deprived. I've had trouble putting the weight back on." [via Cindy Adams]

Welcome to another chapter in Howell Raines' bizarre ongoing fascination with the hip-hop/rap scene: the NYT follows Pianist star Adrien Brody out for a night on the town and finds him hanging with P-Diddy (yo) who is "dressed in diamonds and a baggy yellow tracksuit like a very rich 4-year-old." Brody had made a CD for P-Diddy after taking mom and dad to Nobu and wanted to drop it off. The NYT reports that P-Diddy liked what he heard and "began doing that exaggerated nod to the beats that signals either 'I have no strength left in my neck' or 'I really groove on that.'"
