FROM OUR OFFICE TO HER EARS

LOS ANGELES - Jane Lynch, one of the most amiable actresses in la-la land, was holding court the other night at a Fox party when she suddenly got distracted by a loudmouth nearby who was regaling friends with a disastrous Ray Charles story.

"What's the deal with that [expletive]?" she said, referring to the booming voice interrupting her interviews.

I knew exactly what the deal was because the loudmouth was me.

About 20 minutes later, I sheepishly approached the "Glee" sensation with hat in hand.

"That was you?" she said. "But you seem so restrained." Fortunately, the Emmy-deserving star didn't make me run laps around the restaurant.

Among the attendees I didn't irk: Seth Green, Mary Lynn Rajskub of "24," "Glee" standout Lea Michele, überdirector JJ Abrams, John Walsh of "America's Most Wanted," Aisha Tyler, Colin Hanks and former "West Wing" staffers Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff.

As an eviction crisis has seemed increasingly likely this summer, everyone in the housing market has made the same plea to Washington: Send money — lots of it — that would keep renters in their homes and landlords afloat.
