Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti and Zach Galifianakis star in upcoming 'The Hangover: Part II.'

A "Hangover" can be serious. At the Nixon Watches and GQ screening of "Win Win" on Wednesday, Paul Giamatti, who says he plays a "creepy guy" in "The Hangover: Part II," told us things were "very intense" on the sequel set. "Not a lot of laughs," the 43-year-old added at the SVA Theatre. "Those guys" ? Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis ? "aren't cutting up all the time." Indeed, Giamatti said, "I probably was d---ing around more than they were. ... Zach's not like ? I mean he's funny, but he's not f---ing around. It's interesting, actually."

Foot on face ... cream

When Mark Cuban taped a guest spot on the upcoming season of ABC-TV's "Shark Tank," panelist Barbara Corcoran asked the billionaire how he stays so young-looking. Cuban said his first girlfriend told him to use foot cream on his face, and he still does. Barbara invited Cuban to the April 5 book party for "Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into A Billion Dollar Business," which she co-wrote with Bruce Littlefield.� Maybe he'll share more beauty secrets if he goes.

Rolling in the deep

Jane Wenner just got hit with a pricey lawsuit. In a complaint filed in Long Island Federal Court, Brent Baynon, 50, alleges that he worked for Jane ? who helped found Rolling Stone with ex-husband Jann Wenner ? at her Amagansett, L.I., estate from 2009 until January. That's when, he claims, he was let go without explanation after suffering debilitating back injuries on the job. Baynon is seeking $70,572 in wages he says he's owed for having to work excessive hours. He's also seeking damages. Rolling Stone publisher Wenner Media and the head of its human resources department are also named.� Reps for both parties declined to comment.

A request for a date followed ? which, our spy says, turned out way better than Kev's furtive approach might suggest.
