SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- Sure, there are those pesky Academy Awards this weekend.

But everyone knows the most fun Oscar weekend takes place Sunday on the beach in Santa Monica at the Independent Spirit Awards, where the dress code is casual and the mood is California chill.

Access Hollywood is exclusive backstage at the On3 Productions celebrity gift lounge, were we're watching celebs to be the first to try out the sexy Palm Pre -- excuse us while our inner geek emerges.

3:30 PM -- It's pretty quiet in here now, but there should be a huge rush after the show. This is it for the real time updates for us, but we'll post a post-show update a bit later on this afternoon!

3:15 PM -- Mickey Rourke just breezed in. Didn't take a single free thing. Just signed the poster. And he signed it... "Loki."

3 PM -- Teri Hatcher is singing something crazy on stage right now. Sandra Oh is zipping through the lounge, in bright fuschia.

2:55 PM -- The Dish just scored a great interview with Alec. He's in a great mood today. He grabs a random woman who's standing nearby to use her as a measure to get the right sizes of jeans for his daughter, Ireland. He whispers to the Blue Notch jeans people later, "My daughter's that same height .... but she's thinner!" Zing!

More of the blow-by-blow.... after the jump!

The duo will team up for the new big screen comedy "The Baster," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The satirical FOX show, which launched the career of "Superbad" star Michael Cera and featured such highly praised actors as Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, is making progress toward a big screen adaptation, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

What if Superman woke up on the wrong side of the bed - every single day?

Actually, that happened in 1983's "Superman III," which is generally regarded as the second-worst of the movies that starred Christopher Reeve (after, of course, 1987's "Superman IV"). But the third entry was really onto something when the squeaky-clean Man of Steel turned into a dirty, drunken anti-hero after being exposed to a synthetic chunk of Kryptonite.

"Hancock," starring box office superstar Will Smith, is onto something too, since it basically takes that idea and runs with it.
