(Sue is pictured far right with Ziffren Brittenham's Cliff Gilbert-Lurie, a longtime Alliance supporter, and Alliance chief Janice Spire) On hand for the event at the Beverly Hilton were Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Jeff Probst, Angie Harmon, Nia Vardalos. LAPD boss William Bratton and his wife Rikki Klieman also got a laurel from the Alliance, presented by "Law & Order" chief Dick Wolf...

Something to watch for: Craig Fergusonis escaping from latenight for a little bit to host his first standup spec for Comedy Central, "A Wee Bit O' Revolution," set to bow March 22 at 10 p.m. He'll riff on his experiences in and out of rehab, among other topics.
