"Hairspray" and "Pink Flamingos" writer/director John Waters, and the original Tracy Turnblad, Ricki Lake, were at the Film Independent's Spirit Awards, where Ricki kinda gave everyone the bum's rush.
When you're a part of a cult classic -- you become immortal. Like John's mustache.

The Queen at the same party as Gummi Bear? Something isn't right here.
TMZ spotted a (mostly) award-winning crew at the L.A. Confidential party at the Mondrian last night, where one G-lister stuck out like a sore thumb: parade balloon oil heir Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis, dressed in a conspicuous black suit, lengthy white scarf and sunglasses. Gummi didn't quite fit in with the likes of "The Queen" star Helen Mirren, Ben Affleck and Ryan Gosling -- who left hand-in-hand with someone other than girlfriend Rachel McAdams.
In Beverly Hills, TMZ also caught future "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., Red Hot Chili Pepper Flea, genius director John Waters, and "Brothers and Sisters" stars Balthazar Getty (another oil heir) and Rachel Griffiths at Mr Chow.
All this and more in today's pre-Oscar Star Catcher.
