It was quite a week for the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. AFI Fest 2011 packed Grauman's Chinese Theatre with A-listers and the hotel's ballrooms with film fetes and even reportedly saw gate-crashing and a bar fight. Here's who came through the Roosevelt's storied doors. The Girls: Michelle Williams , rocking her pixie cut, swept through to hype her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the Weinstein Co.'s "My Week With Marilyn"...

Among them: http://www.gossipgirlfashion.net ? Perhaps the most comprehensive website on all things worn by the Gossip Girls.
