Rosario spoon-fed the newly-launched gelato to her mom from a heart-shaped spoon and both joked that it looked like a “little booty.”

American Horror Story vixen Angela Bassett stopped by the Breyers Gelato Indulgences gift lounge backstage at The 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday and dished about her perfect date night, which includes “being comfy in my pj’s with snacks that are a little sweet, a little salty and a little crunchy.”

Glee star Jane Lynch broke her juice cleanse while eating Breyers Gelato Indulgences backstage.  The funny lady indulged her cravings and took spoonful after spoonful, rolling her eyes in delight and explained that her perfect date night would consist of reading a great book with her headphones in while skipping dinner and heading straight for Breyers Gelato Indulgences.

Girls star Alex Karpovsky visited the Breyers Gelato Indulgences gift lounge backstage at The 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards. When asked about his perfect date night, Karpovsky replied, “I haven’t been on a date in 20 years!”

Late Night with Seth Meyers’ 8G Band leader Fred Armisen visited the Breyers Gelato Indulgences gift lounge backstage at The 2014 Film Independent Spirit Awards looking dapper in his signature thick-rimmed glasses and a charcoal gray suit. The former SNL funnyman mused about his “afflicting personality,” saying that his habit of “eating granola and muesli for breakfast wholeheartedly contradicts the fact that he can eat sweets forever on end.” Armisen said that, at this point, he “loves [his] life and everything he does because [he’s] living an absolute dream.”

Elisabeth Röhm dished about her perfect date night with Breyers Gelato Indulgences, explaining that it’s important to “make time” for your significant other and not be overly extravagant: “A pint of ice cream is a good start.”
