Ah, the Emmy Suite Life!

Seen on the Suite Scene:

"West Wing" Emmy nominee Allison Janney was spotted picking out two rings from Space Mermaid, a new line of jewelry that also got Paula Abdul's attention at the GBK gifting/pampering suites at the newly revamped Sofitel Hotel.

Paula admired three necklaces (mother of pear/coral sea horse, gold sea horse/starfish, a long gold charm one) and a quartz crystal and copper wire-wrapped ring.

And she was so darn nice, fledgling jewelry designer Stephanie Carbone gave her all of them. "She took the time to talk, giving out hugs and encouragement. She couldn't have been any sweeter or more generous with her time."

That's probably why they call Paula "the nice one."

The GBK invite put the Gift Bag at "$30,00 and growing." But it wasn't limited to just high-end items. Although folks did seem to covet the gold-plated BizBuzz Nokia phone ($2,500) more than a bottle of Ed Begley's eco-friendly Best Cleaning Product or the really practical dog leash with a built-in flashlight and poop bags.

Janney was spotted gobbling up several designer chocolates before stopping, telling the maker, "I still have to fit into my Emmy dress."

In the hills, Emmy nominee Debra Messing picked out a new watch from designer Charlie Lapson at the "Iced Out" Emmy suite, held at a private home above Sunset Plaza. You remember Charlie. ALL the "Housewives" carry his fab purses and they'll love his new watches that pass as fine jewelry.

Messing also snagged a pair of Cameron Diaz's fave super-soft jeans designed by David Kahn (you can pay for yours at Nordstrom). And she stepped out in two free pairs of Stuart Weitzman heels, one in a red/brown color recommended by stylist Vivian Turner because It matches your hair!" Yeah, that's how I choose my shoes, too.

Nicollette Sheridan grabbed some free Weitzmans and posed provocatively wearing her spiky new heels. Larry King popped in with a bright turquoise shirt and his wife Shawn. Geena Davis got a new Lapson bag and picked out a diamond necklace from WhiteFlash, billed as a conflict-free diamond company.

What's a conflict-free diamond, you ask? Well, according to the Diamond Industry, they all are now, thanks to the self-regulating Kimberly Process. But groups like Amnesty International aren't so sure. Trust me, you'll be hearing more about the whole conflict-free bling business when Warner Bros.' new film "The Blood Diamond" is released in December.

Tip: anyone who wants a conflict-free diamond is advised to do a lot of research and not simply trust a diamond company's ad copy. 

Star suite updates: "Closer" Emmy nominee Kyra Sedgwick and Allison Janney (does this woman have time for anything but suite shopping this week?) will attend the fabulous Silver Spoon Hollywood Buffet Thursday (that's today) at a private residence in Hollywood.

And "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Emmy nomie Mariska Hargitay is scheduled to stop by on Friday.

No, I don't know what time. And no, I'm not going to tell you where the Silver Spoon is being held. Get a life, Stalker Freaks.
