Burkle avoiding Clinton? Sparks fly at Globes party

Bill Clinton mingled with Hollywood talent and top agents at the CAA Golden Globes after-party at the Sunset Tower Hotel. But one top power broker was missing. Sources said Ron Burkle, who has invested heavily in the Weinstein Co. and Relativity Media, was not there “because of his back story with Clinton.” The pair were friends and flew around on Burkle’s jet, but then fell out. His rep said, “Ron went to Harvey’s party, then home.” Burkle was expected to join Clinton at a fund-raiser for Kobe Bryant’s foundation in LA last night. Other stars at the CAA bash included Robert Downey Jr., George Clooney, Bill Murray, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and Amy Adams. Meanwhile Weinstein Co.’s Globes party nearly went up in flames when a drunk woman crashed into a heating lamp, sending the contraption and the guest toppling into a wooden table and chairs. A witness said, “There was a gasp as guests could only watch the flaming tower fall and wonder whether it would then ignite the wooden patio furniture. But luckily the fire went out and the wobbly woman was attended to, then escorted to the exit.” At the same time, Heidi Klum was burning up the party inside without her bodyguard boyfriend nearby. Klum jumped up on a wobbly cocktail table at midnight, dancing to hip-hop. “Castle” star Nathan Fillion told the supermodel if she got on the table, he’d take off his pants, which he did. Ryan Seacrest’s girlfriend Julianne Hough also tore up the floor, as did Chris Tucker, who showed off some Michael Jackson moves. Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale were hanging on a couch in front of “The Hunger Games” star Josh Hutcherson. Leonard DiCaprio played it cool, hanging with Bradley Cooper and Jonah Hill. Also there were Quentin Tarantino, J
amie Foxx and J.Lo, who glossed over an awkward moment when she bumped into her ex, SeanDiddyCombs, by introducing her boyfriend Casper Smart.
