The tables were turned for Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell and his star Bradley Cooper at today's Variety Indie Impact brunch at the Parker hotel in Palm Springs, CA. Last night, David presented Bradley with the Palm Springs International Film Festival's Desert Palm Achievement award for acting, but this afternoon, Bradley honored David with an Indie Impact award for his directing work, calling his experience working with David "magical." Bradley said: "We shot Silver Linings Playbook in 33 days. Many directors would be hospitalized upon just hearing the schedule." All joking aside, the project has been a critical success. Bradley has been racking up nomination after nomination for his role in the film, including nods from the Golden Globes and SAG Awards, and David has been earning plenty of accolades of his own for his behind-the-camera work.

Several of the presenters and honorees from last night's Palm Springs International Film Festival gala were also in attendance at the annual brunch. Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hooper, as well as The Session star John Hawkes, all stopped by to applaud David. Variety, which partnered with Mercedes-Benz for the event, also took the opportunity to recognize 10 up-and-coming directors during the festivities, including Wayne Blair and Rebecca Thomas. Stay tuned for tomorrow's PopSugar Rush for even more of our coverage from the film fest!

Jennifer Lawrence dressed up in a Theory jacket and fancy dress last night to attend a party with friends at the Chateau Marmont. She let loose at a bash before what will surely be a big week. Jennifer will kick off award season making the rounds to support her David O. Russell movie, Silver Linings Playbook, as well as The Hunger Games.

She's up for an honor at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards in the category of favorite actress, and The Hunger Games is in the running for other honors, too. At Thursday's Critics' Choice Awards, Jennifer is up for best actress in Silver Linings. And on Sunday, we'll see Jennifer in top red-carpet form when she attends the Golden Globes. She's nominated for favorite actress in a musical or comedy, thanks to her role in Silver Linings. That picture is also in contention for best musical or comedy of the year and best screenplay.

Olivia Palermo was in a bikini once again yesterday to enjoy the end of her St. Barts vacation. She had the company of her shirtless boyfriend Johannes Huebl on the sand, and the couple even shared some PDA while out for a swim. Olivia and Johannes rang in 2013 on the luxe Caribbean island, which is playing host to other celebs including Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough. It's the same destination that Johannes and Olivia chose to see in 2012 as well, and they seem to be soaking up as much sun as possible before they return home to chilly NYC.
