Joining the cheering section

Last night's Game 7 at the Garden was a celeb-heavy affair. Among the VIPs scoring sweet seats for the Celts game against the Magic were actor Ben Affleck, "Dollhouse" actress Eliza Dushku, former Celtic Rick Fox, singer G. Love, Godsmack's Sully Erna, director Milos Forman, Pats brass Robert and Jonathan Kraft, Turner Sports president David Levy, ABC Sports president George Bodenheimer, Pats players Ben Watson, Adalius Thomas, Brandon Meriweather, and Eric Alexander, PawSox pitcher Clay Buchholz, former Met Bobby Bonilla, former NBA player Michael Sweetney, NBA agent Aaron Goodwin, Revolution player Taylor Twellman, Ahmad Rashad, former Celts Dana Barros, John Havlicek, Tommy Heinsohn, and K.C. Jones, and NBA commissioner David Stern.

Could Mark Wahlberg play Ol' Blue Eyes in Martin Scorsese's Frank Sinatra biopic? Seems unlikely, but the New York Post reported yesterday that Donnie's younger brother is being eyed for the role of Chairman of the Board along with Johnny Depp, James Franco, Jake Gyllenhaal, Justin Timberlake, Michael Bublé, and Jon Hamm.

By the time Andy Rourke finally arrived at the Roxy Saturday night, party promoter Jon Regan was rattled. "I'm not going to give him the rest of his money," said Regan. "And if he's got a problem with that, I'll [expletive] knock him out." Regan had already paid Rourke, the former bassist for the influential British band The Smiths, $2,000 - plus hotel, meals, and a king-size bottle of Absolut - to DJ for two hours. Morrissey's former amigo was supposed to start spinning at 9 and end at 11. But he didn't show up until 10:15, and then sat backstage with a tall vodka drink. "I need a leveler," Rourke said, explaining that he'd just flown from Manchester, England. "I'm a bit knackered." Exhaustion aside, Rourke said he digs DJing because it gives him a chance to meet loads of Smiths fans. "I've signed quite a few breasts," he told us. "One drunk woman came back a year later and she'd had my autograph tattooed. I was a bit mortified that someone could be that stupid." In response to the inevitable reunion question, Rourke is noncommittal. "Every couple of years, Coachella rears its head," he said, referring to the music festival that's tried to entice The Smiths with the promise of a huge payday. "I'm a great believer in never saying never, but I think Johnny [Marr] and Morrissey would have to be down to their last McDonald's to do it for money. . . . You better not say that - I don't think Morrissey eats McDonald's." Because he showed up late, Rourke spun for a while at the after-party and, at the end of the night, got half of the $1,000 he was owed.

Salma Hayek was hard to miss this weekend. The "Frida" actress and her husband, Puma CEO Francois-Henri Pinault, were at the Fan Pier Saturday as the around-the-world Volvo Ocean Race resumed. The two then stopped by Kings, where Adam Sandler and his "Grown Ups" costars Chris Rock, David Spade, Maria Bello, and Kevin James kicked off the movie shoot with a family-friendly shindig. While some guests chowed on pulled-pork sliders and pizza, Sandler, James, and Steffiana de la Cruz, wife of "The King of Queens" star, bowled a few frames with their kids. Bello, meanwhile, was playing video games with her son Jackson and boyfriend Dan McDermott. (Hayek and Pinault brought their daughter Valentia Paloma.) Also there was director Dennis Dugan, producers Barry Bernardi and Jack Giarraputo, and actor Jonathan Loughran. The movie is set to start shooting today in Southborough.

Celebrated director Steven Spielberg, in town to receive an honorary degree from BU, went to the Pops Saturday night, and was treated to a surprise performance by his friend and frequent collaborator John Williams. The composer took the podium at Symphony Hall and conducted a tribute to Spielberg that included music from "Hook," "Schindler's List," and the "Indiana Jones" movies. . . . Former Knick Patrick Ewing, now an assistant with Orlando, kicked back at Bond at the Langham Hotel Saturday. . . . No fancy food for "Last Comic Standing" winner Josh Blue, who downed a hot dog - "street meat," he called it - at the corner of Boylston and Washington streets before his gig at the Comedy Connection.

Former city councilor Larry DiCara was feted the other night for his four-plus decades of service to the Massachusetts Boys & Girls State Foundation. Attending a party in his honor were Michael and Kitty Dukakis , Tom Brady's buddy Will McDonough, council prez Mike Ross, House Speaker Robert DeLeo, Congressman Ed Markey, Hizzoner Tom Menino, Highland Capital's Tom Stemberg, developer Bob Beal, and Peter Grieve of Goldman Sachs.
