Where else but in London can one find royalty mixing and mingling? Last night, photographers came upon a meet-up between British royalty and the closest thing we've got here in the states. The original Fergie, Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson and her daughter, Princess Beatrice were spotted leaving London restaurant China Tang with Elvis' granddaughter (Lisa Marie's little girl, although at 18, she's not so little anymore) Riley Keough and her boyfriend, singer Ryan Cabrera. The whole Presley clan is spending the holidays in England, but they can see the lights of Graceland (including 3 fully-decorated trees and a light-up piano on the lawn) from there - that Elvis loved Christmas!

Lest we forget it's December and some places do get a little chilly. Thank goodness we have lovely Naomi Watts to remind us that it is, indeed, winter. The actress, currently working on "The International" with Clive Owen (who I'd love to cuddle up with on a cold winter's night - or any night for that matter!) was spotted waiting for a cab in Soho yesterday, without son Alexander or fiance Liev Schreiber in sight. Naomi is bundled up from head to toe - clad in a knit cap, coat, scarf and wool-lined boots. Brrr, I'm getting cold just looking at her!

Singer Stacey "Fergie" Ferguson was spotted leaving Sunset Plaza eatery Cafe Med after having lunch with friends, including Brandon Davis, aka "Fat Elvis," the perpetually-troubled, always greasy oil heir. Can't she do better than this? I'm not sure if I like her outfit or not either - a pinstripe jacket and shorts combo, gray scarf, Candie's tee (which I'm sure she got for free when she was their spokesmodel this past spring) and patterned flats. I guess it's cute for a lunch date, and
way too nice for a lunch date with Brandon!

The man who gave the world Tina Turner, R&B singer/musician Ike Turner has died today. He was 76 and was reported to have died in his sleep in his San Marcos, California home. Tales of abusive behavior and drug abuse overshadowed the fact that Ike was a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (with Tina, of course) and a very talented musician. That being said, who's watching "What's Love Got to Do with It" tonight?

George Clooney and his lady love Sarah Larson had a craving for Italian food, so they did what any normal couple would do - they jetted off to Rome for a romantic dinner. (Oh, I hope they did the "Lady and the Tramp" spaghetti trick!) Here's the happy (and color-coordinated) couple leaving Il Bolognese restaurant last night. Since they were already there, they decided to stay for a few days and enjoy a little pre-Christmas holiday. Gee, the only Italian food I enjoy during the holidays is pizza, because after hanging lights, wrapping presents and sending out cards, I'm too tired to cook!

Duane Chapman, better known as Dog the Bounty Hunter, was caught enjoying a ciggie outside a Greenwich Village restaurant in New York. Dog has (obviously) been laying low since his recent scandal, but he hasn't made any attempts to change his appearance. Yep, he still looks like an extra from "Road House", rocking the mullet (business up front, party in the back!) leather gear and cowboy boots. Believe it or not, fans of Dog's A&E show are rallying in front of the network's Big Apple headquarters on Thursday in support of their hero. Maybe Dog won't have to "hang loose" for much longer!

Jessica Alba and her long-time (but on-again/off-again) boyfriend Cash Warren, who she met on the set of the first "Fantastic Four" flick, are expecting a baby! Guess the couple, who has been seen canoodling in public quite a bit in recent weeks, is "on" again! Jessica's reps reported that the leggy actress' baby is due in late spring or early summer. Looking as Jess and Cash, I predict one good looking baby. Gee, first J-Lo, then Halle, now Jessica...are babies the new "must-have" in Hollywood? I expect to see pint-sized pooches priced to move in LA if this keeps up!

Tom Cruise assists us in pointing out the mega-star who is poised to have a very good Christmas. Tom and BFF Will Smith joked around and posed for photographers (Will looked especially hot in a black suit) on the red carpet at the New York premiere of Will's sci-fi thriller "I Am Legend." Tom's been traveling cross-country in support of his friend's latest project; he was in Hollywood for Will's footprint ceremony and now he's in the Big Apple. Really, does Will Smith need Tom Cruise to help promote his film? I would think that now Tom could use Will's help with promotion a lot more - he's definitely going to need Will's help for "Valkyrie"!

Tom Hanks, with lovely wife Rita Wilson, was one of the many stars who populated the red carpet for the LA premiere of "Charlie Wilson's War." The film shows another side of the Oscar-winning actor - the back side. Director Mike Nichols shot a racy hot tub scene with Hanks, as a randy Texas congressman, and actresses posing as a Playboy playmate and an exotic dancer. Hot tub usually equals naked (at least it does on "Blind Date") so the 51-year-old actor gets a chance to flash his bare buns on the big screen. He does wear a sock to conceal little Tom, which Hanks joked to USA Today, "has been bronzed and is over somewhere on the Hollywood Walk of Fame." You have been warned!

MTV pseudo-reality star Audrina Patridge left Hollywood hotspot Hyde last night looking like she had "too moony martoonis" (I often resemble that remark.) But hey, at least her glazed eyes match the sheen of her black and white patterned minidress! It seems one of her security detail used Audrina's umm...
vulnerable state to cop a quick feel of her "Hills" (if you know what I mean.) Tsk, tsk Audie!
