Pacey's Back! Glamour held its celeb-studded "Don't" party this week at the hottest Hollywood hot spot with hot sauce--Del Taco. Our too-faboo Hollywood Party Girl, Lara Morgenson, will bring you more details next week, but for now, I must share with you this case of heartthrob heartburn: I saw Pacey Witter. (Or Josh Jackson, if you really must call him that.)
First things first: He was there with Eve. You remember, Brittany Daniel, who played Dawson's love interest for a few episodes. I hear the former Capeside flames may be rekindling some kind of romance. (And just to set the record straight, Jackson tells me the report in Us Weekly that he's expecting a baby with his former girlfriend is "not true.")
The party marked Jackson's first appearance at such an Industry party in years; perhaps he's stepping out now because he has an indie flick coming out. Or quite possibly because he's no longer swarmed by shrieking girls. "When I get recognized now," he says, "it's more like, 'Didn't I go to high school with you?' And I think, 'In a way, yes.' "
J.J. tells me he has kept in touch with all of his castmates: "After six years, we're like family." But he advises against holding our breath for a reunion special. "I think the final episode accomplished that," he says. "It was a finale and a reunion all at the same time. However, in 20 years, if I'm bitter and unemployed and have completely lost any sense of self worth? Maybe. It'd be like, 'Who stole my dentures?' So, it might not be so sexy."
