Adrien Brody says 'some day' he'd like to record an album.

Adrien Brody�has been working on music for years, but he's only just found his voice. At the Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists dinner Monday night, "The Pianist" star told us his new Stella Artois commercial is the first time he's "actually had the courage to sing." The NYC native added that "some day" he'd like to record an album that "would speak to "all of the influences" in his life. Later that evening, Brody looked pretty influenced by the thighs of the young platinum blond he brought to the party for his flick "Detachment" at 675 Bar. Despite his date's apparent discomfort, he gave her gams quite a caressing. She finally offered up a kiss to Brody, and they left hand in hand.

Nerd nirvana�rocks

At least it did at the Tribeca Film Festival's Disruptive Innovation Awards at the Citigroup Auditorium Tuesday afternoon, where Rolling Stone Keith Richards was among the geniuses feted for their establishment-roiling thinking. Richards manager Jane Rose accepted for the guitarist, who was honored for harnessing the power of "Open G" guitar tuning, which made "Honky Tonk Women" such an influential classic. The Defense Advance Research Projects Agency was also honored for its seminal role in the invention of the Internet, and DARPA deputy director Dr. Ken Gabriel brought along another invention, the creepy BigDog quadruped robot it's developing. Gabriel also got a laugh when he said that the first word transmitted over the infobahn was "Lo." It was supposed to be "log on" but, he said, the Net "crashed" before the entire word could be typed. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was also honored. Tribeca festival co-founder Craig Hatkoff emceed with Perri Peltz.�

That guy from Jersey�is�pretty funny�
�
The bold�were looking for the beautiful - and vice versa - at The Time 100 gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center Tuesday. Heat-seeking movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, who didn't make the cut, blew into the cocktail party searching for actress Blake Lively (who did). And charismatic New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was looking for fellow 100 cohort Justin Bieber on behalf of his daughter, but the haircut kid was never slated to show.� Christie told us he found the soiree "pretty neat" for "a guy from Jersey." We like even more his response to a photographer on the red carpet who told the Guv that Hoboken needed more buses. "Walk. Walking is good for you," a soiree source tells us the candid Christie replied, eventually adding: "Everyone is drunk in Hoboken anyway, so everyone should be walking."

Little�Ms. Etiquette�

America Ferrera�will mind your manners for you. The "Ugly Betty" star put a drunken party guest in her place at the post-screening shindig for "Magic Valley" on Saturday night in the packed VIP room of Studio 21. After a woman there stumbled into Noel Ashman's table and knocked over a bunch of full Champagne flutes, a source says Ferrera "raced around the room grabbing napkins" and cleaned up the spill. Then she scolded the woman "to be more careful" because "people are dancing and may slip!"

Free to roam

Daniel Radcliffe�has the paparazzi problem licked. On Monday, the "How to Succeed in Business" star and current Gotham magazine cover boy hosted a party for the publication at Salon De Ning at the Peninsula New York, where he told us there's "no trick" to avoiding celebrity photographers. Just "don't call people and tell them where you're going to be before you go there," he explained, adding: "I think a lot of the people who end up having that [problem] often call the paparazzi" themselves. Not that Radcliffe wants to be left totally alone. He admitted he's "a little disappointed" he hasn't had any crazy fan moments since moving here.
