On Thursday, Nov. 4, stars gathered at the offices of Creative Arts Agency (CAA) in the Century City neighborhood of Los Angeles, Calif., for "Acts of Love: Parenthood," a benefit evening of music and dramatic readings by Word Theatre, that raised $100,000 for Autism Speaks, a national non-profit autism advocacy organization.
The night also honored Jason Katims, executive producer of the NBC series "Parenthood," an ensemble family drama. It includes a storyline about Adam and Kristina Braverman (Peter Krause, Monica Potter), parents dealing with a son, Max (Max Burkholder), on the autism spectrum, inspired no doubt in part by Katims' own similar experience with his teenage son.
For one attendee, the evening was a lot more than just raising money for a worthy cause.

On Thursday, Aug. 19, Christopher Gorham got a late birthday present -- he was born Aug. 14 -- when USA Network renewed his freshman spy-caper drama "Covert Affairs."
"I got an email from one of our producers," he tells Zap2it, calling in from the show's Toronto location. "If I'd been on Twitter [as @Chris_Gorham], I'm sure I would have found out first through there, because that's where I usually find out the information on our ratings, before I hear from the producers or the network."
A veteran of several primetime shows -- including "Popular," Odyssey 5," "Jake 2.0," "Medical Investigation," "Out of Practice," "Harper's Island" and "Ugly Betty" -- Gorham has a theory why his latest show was picked up after only having premiered on July 13.
"The show has been reviewed so well, first of all, that even before we aired, we had value for the network," he says. "Because we backed it...

Tom Lenk, who starred as Andrew on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will make his Broadway debut as Franz in the Tony-nominated musical Rock of Ages on Sept. 14. Lenk originated the supporting role, the son of a German developer who wants to demolish the Sunset Strip (including La's favorite rock club), in Los Angeles and Las Vegas productions. He phoned EW to give us the scoop and the often hilarious backstory. • A UCLA theater grad with formal voice training, Lenk went to college with Rock of Ages' Tony-nominated director Kristin Hanggi. They've worked together before — on a production of Ann E. Wrecksick, an Annie spoof about bulimic orphans, in the basement of a Mexican restaurant in Silver Lake, Calif. the summer after his first season on Buffy. She knew he was also friends with Rock of Ages writer Chris D'Arienzo, and phoned Lenk to tell him that D'Arienzo had a role that might suit him.
