There were plenty of celebrities in the room last week when Oscar winner Anne Hathaway and her producer husband Adam Shulman premiered their movie “Song One” at the new Palm restaurant in Beverly Hills.

But the biggest celeb wasn’t even invited– Lionel Richie just happened to wander in for dinner separate from the roaring crowd. The first person he saw, by luck, was the night’s organizer, New York publicist Norah Lawlor. Smart girl, she immediately invited him. Suddenly the whole party was taking selfie’s with Lionel, who was talking about his upcoming European tour and hanging with money guy Kevin Allyn of Winnick and company.

Not only Anne and Adam wanted their photos taken with Lionel, but also “Song One” director Kate Barker Froyland, rockers Jenny Lewis and Johnathan Rice (who wrote the music for the film), as well as an eclectic bunch of Hollywood luminaries invited by Peggy Siegal including Susan Blakely, Billy Zane, Gary Busey, Rebecca Dayan, Illeana Douglas, Nastassja Kinski, Heather Matarazzo, Penelope Ann Miller, Ben Platt, Tony Revolori, Peter Mark Richman, Dominique Swain, Jess Weixler, and Madeline Zima.

New York philanthropist Jean Shafiroff hosted the party in awareness and support of The New York Women’s Foundation. And yes, Jean tells me, she got her Lionel selfie too.

What a mess: Warner Bros., in what will be recalled as a very imprudent move, showed the Wachowski siblings’ “Jupiter Ascending” at Sundance. “Jupiter” cost $175 million, the anti-thesis of independent film. You can only imagine what the people in the Egyptian Theater in Park City thought as this spectacular 3D flop unspooled in front of them: it represented the cost of 100 indie movies.

Now the word has leaked, or rather, exploded, that everyone at Sundance hated “Jupiter Ascending,” which opens February 6th. That’s right in the middle of Oscar voting. And guess who’s one of the three co-stars? Eddie Redmayne, front runner in the Oscar race for Best Actor from “The Theory of Everything.”

By all account, “Jupiter Ascending”– like “Cloud Atlas” and the third “Matrix” movie– is undecipherable. No one understands it, and it’s full of kitschy, overblown performances. That’s certainly what Eddie, Channing Tatum, and Mila Kunis seem to be doing in the trailer.

For Redmayne, this could be an issue. Best Actor is a tight race with him and Michael Keaton deadlocked in the lead. Benedict Cumberbatch is right behind them, and Bradley Cooper could be a spoiler. Oscar voters may get a look at the reviews and reactions for “Jupiter” and wonder if Redmayne is the real thing.

I must say, he is. All the actors in the lead race this year are quite good. It would be terrible if Oscar voters ascribed the horrendousness of “Jupiter Ascending” to Redmayne alone. He simply got caught up in the Wachowski machine. If “Jupiter” is really as bad as described, it should only take down the siblings, not their actors.

What an odd situation. Twitter is full of screeds about that screening. Plus, evidently they didn’t invite press to the screening– you can’t come into a film festival in a closed location like Sundance and insult the media. What is the purpose of that? Consequently, they’ve all turned on the film. Yikes.

Sort of not a scoop or a secret. But my two favorite Best Song nominees are going to be performed on the Academy Awards show by their originators.

Adam Levine is set to sing “Lost Stars” from “Begin Again,” the one movie you should rent during a blizzard. Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois wrote it. They were once the New Radicals, of “You Get What You Give” fame. The pair is considering a New Radicals second album. The first was in 1998.

And then of course Common and John Legend will perform “Glory” from “Selma,” the woefully under-nominated five star Best Picture nominee.

Host Neil Patrick Harris is also going to be singing his heart out. The writers of “Let it Go” from “Frozen” are penning him a new song. NPH is going to make for a very entertaining show, no doubt.
