Who was that Palm Springs party animal?

Morgan Freeman was a late-comer to the presenter's list at the Palm Springs International Film Festival's annual awards gala. But it sure looked like he enjoyed himself a plenty on Saturday night surrounded by several of Palm Springs' breast-dressed beauties.

Was Brad Pitt the reason Freeman showed up to present the award to his "Babel" director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu? After all, Brad and Morgan did star in "Se7en" together, back when Pitt was dating Gwyneth Paltrow and doesn't that seem like light years ago.

Ironically enough, Pitt and Paltrow will co-star again in Ryan Murphy's new Nixon flick "Dirty Tricks," with Paltrow starring as Maureen Dean, John Dean's wife, Annette Bening playing journalist Helen Thomas and Meryl Streep as that Mouth from the South, Martha Mitchell.
