Served up news, wrap up party

While the tabloid world and its brother served up news about the wrap up party of '1 800 LOVE', the truth is that the jubilation which was to be hosted by John Abraham at his swanky suburban Mumbai home... has been postponed.
Reportedly, Johnny Boy panicked when he realised that the number of guests invading his residence had swelled from 12 to an... alarming 35!

Please explain to me the highlighted parts.

"served up" = supplied, dispensed. "wrap up party" = party to wrap up (conclude, complete) '1 800 LOVE'. I understand that '1 800 LOVE' is a film, so this would be a party held to celebrate the completion of the film.

Mr Wordy"served up" = supplied, dispensed.
I would only add some additional meanings for "served up": presented or provided.

Most basic usage in USA is with food.
