Jason Sudeikis has a way with the ladies

Jason Sudeikis had many female fans trying to catch his eye at a Tribeca Film Fest afterparty.

Jason Sudeikis' mojo sure seemed to be working at the Stoli-sponsored party for his film "A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy" at Liberty Hall on Friday. On the same day that his ex, "Mad Men" hottie January Jones, announced that she was pregnant, fueling media speculation that the "Saturday Night Live" stud might be the father, Sudeikis had no shortage of female fans attempting to bond with him.

The "SNL" actor was friendly to all, but paid extra attention to the more attractive ladies, touching their arms and showing them pictures on his phone. He seemed particularly fascinated by one woman who was immune to his charms ? because she had passed out on a couch at the Ace Hotel space with a drink in her hand. After studying the woman from different angles, Sudeikis finally removed the drink from the prone woman's hand and set it on a nearby�table.

Tom Hooper pulls a Donald Trump

"The King's Speech" director Tom Hooper had "one of the most surreal experiences of my life," as he put it, at Saturday's White House Correspondents' dinner. Hooper, who won a Best Director Oscar for the picture, was in the audience at the Washington Hilton when President Obama showed a trailer of a film called "The President's Speech" that clearly spoofed his work. That doesn't necessarily mean that Hooper liked what he saw. When we asked him what he thought of the Prez's version, which put Joe Biden in the Geoffrey Rush role, he smiled and said, "I could have made it better."

Paul Rudd and Bill Hader go hobo

Backpack-laden funny guys Paul Rudd and Bill Hader caused double takes among passengers boarding the 9 a.m. Amtrak Acela out of D.C. on Sunday. The two men rode the rails back home to N.Y.C. like a couple of shaggy modern hobos ? albeit hobos who could afford high-speed rail travel over boxcars. Hader traveled first class, Rudd and his wife business class.

Dirty Pearls get a clean shot

East Village rockers The Dirty Pearls will get a rare shot at super-sizing their audience, thanks to 101.9 WRXP FM. On May 11, the station will combine "Renegade" Rich Russo's "Anything, Anything" show and music director Brian Phillips' "10 O'Clock News" program to broadcast its first live show: The Dirty Pearls at Webster Hall.

The unsigned band landed on RXP's radar when Russo began playing their local anthem, "New York City Is A Drug," on his show, and the tune became popular enough to be featured on WRXP's "Definitive 1019 Countdown of 2010." Russo's manager Alicia Gelernt tells us RXP General Manager Alex Cameron and Program Director Leslie Fram "have made a bold and innovative move for the station by taking a chance on an independent band."

Little Miss Sunshine can't do pedal to the metal

Abigail Breslin knows how to sing. Driving a car is another story. Friday night, the 13-year-old actress treated partygoers at the American Express fete for her flick, "Janie Jones," to a winning rendition of its theme song, "Fight For Me." In the crowd at Marquee was Ethan Hawke, who gave the bite-sized blond a standing ovation while rubbing his pregnant wife's back.

Earlier that evening at the SVA Theater, Breslin confessed her silky voice is offset by a lead foot. "I figured out I have a little bit of road rage," Breslin told us. "David [M. Rosenthal] the director was in the car and [he] was like brake, brake, brake, brake . . . I like to go fast."

Rifkin supports a 'Brother'

Ron Rifkin's role as Joey Grey's doppelg�nger in "Alias" still has people confused. The actor attended the opening night of "The Normal Heart" at the Golden Theatre on Wednesday to support his "Brothers and Sisters" co-star Luke Macfarlane, and a source tells us that when rave reviews for the play began circulating at the Edison Ballroom party that followed, a number of revelers approached Rifkin to congratulate him. The well-wishers had mistaken Rifkin for Grey, who's one of the show's directors.
