English term or phrase: hobnob with the stars

THIS week Jeff Bewkes secured one of the sexiest jobs in business. On January 1st he will become chief executive of Time Warner, a huge media company which owns Warner Bros, Hollywood's biggest film studio; HBO, the maker of America's best television programmes; Time Inc, the publisher of iconic magazines such as Sports Illustrated; and CNN, an international television-news channel. But the new boss has more serious things to do than ***hobnob with the stars***. “You think I'm hanging out with Russell Crowe,” he jokes, “but usually I'm in a meeting with an electronics firm.”

Bisherige Ideen:
"sich mit den Stars zu zeigen"
"mit den Stars anzubandeln"
"sich mit den Stars und Prominenten sehen zu lassen"

mit den Stars per "du" zu plaudern

Explanation:
"to hobnob" implies familiarity, so they must be on a "first-name" basis. (Sie müssen sich einander du-tzen)
