Hollywood power players at G4's CES party
Meaning no offense to my friends at G4, I was pleasantly surprised at
the caliber of power execs who came to their "Best of CES" showcase and
party last night (that's "Attack of the Show's" Kevin Pereira" hosting
on the right). If CES had a Hollywood party, this was it. Amongst
those I saw at the event:
-"Pirates of the Caribbean" and "CSI" producer Jerry Bruckheimer
-Google CEO Eric Schmidt
-Comcast CEO Brian Roberts (OK maybe he's not a surprise, since Comcast owns G4)
And apparently there were even more who I didn't see. Speaking to G4 president Neil Tiles near the end of the party, he told me Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer and MGM CEO Harry Sloan stopped by as well.
Seems like G4 has got the connections and or the sway to get all the big names from the entertainment biz who wanted to see the hottest gadgets at CES -- and see each other and be seen, perhaps -- to come by its shindig.
