CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Eddard Stark, 42, leaving a midtown premiere at 1:40 AM carrying two phones and a third phone. Witnesses say he was "already returning a call about it."

THE FULL STORY

I have worked entertainment publicity in New York for 15 years, and I have run press for 200 red carpet events without a single client quote I regret. I currently manage media strategy for 9 A-list clients across film, music, and one very famous chef. I answer my phone. All three of them.
