It was so hot that even cast members of HBO's 'True Blood' bailed on their own network's affair to hang with the 'Men.'

Posted Aug 30th 2010 at 06:57 AM by Bryan Alexander
Thomas Jane took his hatred of shoes to a new level at the HBO post-Emmy party Sunday night -- he simply ditched 'em mid-party at the formal affair. The 'Hung' star started off eccentric enough, wearing a black suede jacket over a snake-skin patterned shirt and jeans in a sea of black-ties. But it got stranger when, during an animated discussion with director Penny Marshall, Jane crawled into a ...
