At a Spago dinner after the premiere of "Inventing David Geffen," some feelings were hurt when organizers apparently kept some of Geffen's pals off the list. Geffen himself arrived with date Oprah Winfrey and claimed to have nothing to do with the dinner guest list.

But at the L.A. premiere Nov. 13 at the Writers Guild Theater, hosted by Cher, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Steven Spielberg, Kate Capshaw, Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, there was another boss present: Bruce Springsteen.

“I only had a little, little bit to do with it,” he tells THR.
