Fire crew cools Globes bash

-

W magazine’s Golden Globes party at the Chateau Marmont on Thursday night was so hot the fire department came to shut it down.

When two LA firefighte­rs, who had moviestar looks themselves, arrived in full gear, some guests thought they were in another line of work. “I thought they were male strippers,” exclaimed one overly excited guest at the party, where the crowd included Reese Witherspoo­n, Rosamund Pike, Eddie Redmayne and Jessica Chastain.

Comic Aziz Ansari joked to Page Six that if the hunks had been strippers, they would have looked at that crowd and chickened out. He cracked, “They’d be like, ‘This is a bad idea — wrong place!’ ” The firemen arrived because the hotel’s intimate terrace was too packed, which left some guests like Paula Patton and Rose McGowan temporaril­y waiting outside to be let in.

As the firefighte­rs walked through the crowd, “Man of Steel” star Henry Cavill was seen in deep conversati­on with his Lois Lane, Amy Adams, while “Captain America” Chris Evans sat a few feet away, chatting with Hollywood manager Jason Weinberg. Inside the Dom Pérignon party, Robert Duvall held court by a fireplace powwowing with “Whiplash” star Miles Teller, who will play Mr. Fantastic in the upcoming “Fantastic Four.”

McGowan had made waves at a New York awards show earlier in the week when she announced that women aren’t getting enough chances to direct movies, in part “because we don’t need more f-king superhero movies!” Once inside the W bash, she told us, “I didn’t realize that would go viral!”

W tightened its guest list even further at its annual Globes kickoff party this year, and the place was packed with top talent and VIPs including Christoph Waltz, Naomi Campbell, David Oyelowo, Gillian Anderson, Salma Hayek, Johnny Knoxville, Dita Von Teese, Bret Easton Ellis, Minnie Driver and Quvenzhané Wallis.
