New York, March 26, 2008 – Jim Sturgess, the adorable Brit who recently starred in the Beatles themed musical Across the Universe got the cast of his newest gambling flick, 21, to rock on the set.  “Jacob Pitts, who plays Fisher, and I had guitars, and we would kind of howl down the corridors of Boston University where we were shooting, and kind of piss everybody off”, Sturgess told us at the Cinema Society screening on Wednesday.  Co-star Kate Bosworth sometimes joined in, and so we wondered if, you know, she likes singing, like so many young Hollywood stars do.  And while Kate says working in the film didn’t turn her into a card shark, she is smart enough to read our mind.  “I do like singing.  I will not be coming out with a CD, if that is your next question, but I do enjoy it”, said the actress, looking very chic in Calvin Klein.

The evening really heated up later at the Mercer Kitchen after party, where Mary-Kate Olsen camped out all evening at corner table, Clive Owen popped in late and Elle MacPherson, Maggie Rizer and Jamie Burke partied and tried to count cards at blackjack tables stationed around the room.
