A Buff Hoff


hasselhoff_120607.jpg

David Hasselhoff was seen exiting one of Beverly Hills' best Italian restaurants, Madeos, last night. Hoff, who's had a tough year, does look like he's gotten rid of the bloat that plagued him earlier this year. He looks pretty good - like he could get back into his red "Baywatch" swim trunks and hit the beach again. Most likely, David's getting in shape in anticipation of reprising his role as Michael Knight in the new "Knight Rider" TV movie - and the third season of "America's Got Talent."

Although David looked good in his blue long sleeved shirt (even though it had a little stain on it) and jeans, it does beg the question...doesn't anyone dress up for dinner anymore?

Dancing to the Doctor


Thumbnail image for garth_120607.jpg

90210 alum Jennie Garth and her actor hubby Peter Facinelli take time out of their day to take their 4-year-old daughter Lola to the doctor's office for a check-up. Lola Ray looks precious in a pink nightie and Jennie's "Dancing with the Stars" training certainly paid off for her, as she looks great - even in a pair of jeans and a casual top. You'd never think that she gave little Lola a sister, Fiona Eve, just last year (and big sister Luca Bella is 10)!

Even though Jennie says she's in the best shape in her life thanks to the dance competition, she told People magazine that she's secretly hoping for baby number 4. Both Mama Jennie and Papa Peter are hoping to bring another girl home, quipped Peter, "I only make girls!"

Blast from the Past!


bonet_120607.jpg

Wow! Denise Huxtable is back! Actress Lisa Bonet was spotted at trendy Santa Monica boutique Fred Segal with her boyfriend, actor Jason Momoa and their daughter, Lola Lolani. Lisa looks as young as she did when she played one of Bill Cosby's daughters. It's hard to believe she's the mother of two daughters of her own (Lola's older step-sister is Zoe Kravitz.)

Although Lisa has stayed out of the limelight the past few years, she is in talks to appear in the Coen Brothers' upcoming comedy caper, "Gambit." It'll be nice to see this beauty on the big screen again - since we watched her grow up on "The Cosby Show," she's like family.

Jessica's a Fantastic Shopper


alba_120607.jpg

Jessica Alba was spotted laden down with bags from furniture store HT Buttercups in Culver City, California yesterday. The actress is most likely doing some holiday shopping - is there something in one of those bags for long-time beau Cash Warren?

Jessica shops in comfort but manages to still look cute, donning dark sweats and sneaks, with her hair tied up in a casual 'do. The actress recently admitted that she doesn't diet, and hasn't worked out in months. Her beauty tips? Yoga and lots of water.  We'll have our eyes on Jessica next when her thriller "The Eye" hits the big screen in February.

Michelle Takes a Break

Here's an exclusive photo from the behind the scenes of the upcoming thriller "Eagle Eye." Beautiful Michelle Monaghan is heading to her trailer for a break and she's ready to relax - she even has her belt unbuckled. Do actresses cram themselves into too-tight pants, just like us? What a refreshing sight!

Michelle's "Eagle Eye" co-stars include Billy Bob Thornton and current "It Boy" Shia LaBeouf. We'll see this statuesque brunette on screen next in the comedy "Made of Honor" with Patrick Dempsey (think "My Best Friend's Wedding" with McDreamy as the Julia Roberts character.) Is Hollywood completely running out of ideas?  



It's Never Too Early for Mother-Daughter Bonding

"Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross spent some quality time with her adorable 10-month-old daughter Eden (her fraternal twin sister, Savannah, was most likely at home with Marcia's hubby, stockbroker Tom Mahoney.) The pair did a little holiday shopping at the Shabby Chic boutique in Santa Monica. Mama Marcia spent about 20 minutes in the store, perusing the slipcovers, bedding and furnishings.

Marcia, who's been spotted taking advantage of holiday sales as of late (is she "desperate" for a bargain?) then headed to the Westfield Mall in Century City and left with a couple of Bloomingdale's trademark brown bags. Can you even imagine what Marcia's gift list must look like? Eva, Teri, Nicolette....

Megan Feels the Chill


fox_120507.jpg"Transformers" beauty Megan Fox is feeling the chill in L.A. (it's in the low 70s...brrr!) The favorite beverage of young starlets everywhere, coffee, isn't helping warm her up, so she turns to her fiancee, former 90210 star (and part-time rapper) Brian Austin Green for a little heat. The actor is looking quite beefy (David Silver is all grown up! Can you believe that?) and seems to be helping increase the temperature of his lovely girlfriend. A warm hug beats a sweater (and a Frappucino) any day!

Rent-A-Starlet


reid_120507.jpg

Opening a club, throwing a party or need some extra publicity for your business? Perpetually partying actress Tara Reid ("American Pie") is offering her services to you, for a fee of course. Tara's pictured here during a 60-minute shopping spree at the super trendy Ed Hardy store in Sydney, Australia. She tried on hats, tanks and tees and left with almost $7,000 in merchandise. Lucky Tara got all of the swag for free, posing for the paparazzi with her gear was all she needed to do.

The actress also rented herself out as a party hostess for the intriguingly named "Hookers' Ball" in Darwin. The event, celebrating its 21st year, is famous for outrageous costumes and X-rated activities (including a wet t-shirt contest.)  Tara reportedly got a hefty paycheck for her services and peddled herslef to other Aussie clubs for the asking price of $25,000 to $35,000 per appearance. When she got no response, she dropped her price drastically - and  the new $3,500 asking price also had no takers. The Aussie press feels that tara's pay-for-play lifestyle may be an indication that her acting career is kaput. Who knows? Paris Hilton is a party fixture and even she has a movie coming out soon (maybe not a good movie, but a movie nonetheless.) Is Tara destined to be a novelty act?

The Family that Shops Together...

Demi Moore shared some quality time with her oldest daughter, 19-year-old Rumer, during a Beverly Hills shopping spree. The pair was spotted leaving the upscale ERES swim wear store on famous shopping street Rodeo Drive. (Swim wear in December? Don't forget, they're in sunny California!)  Demi and Rumer have also shared screen time - Rumer's first film role was in Mom's "Now and Then." She also had a small role in the flop "Striptease." She briefly appeared in Dad Bruce Willis' comedy "The Whole Nine Yards" and has 2 films coming out in 2008.  

Rumer, who was chosen as this years Miss Golden Globes, sported some gold on her finger  (an engagement ring, perhaps?) as well as a red Kabbalah bracelet - just like her friend, Lindsay Lohan. Rumer is also rumored to be quite the party animal - just like pre-rehab Lindsay. Hopefully she won't go the way of her BFF and her star will rise - scandal-free!

Cate is Queen in Australia


blanchett_120407.jpg

A glowing Cate Blanchett held court at a Sydney, Australia screening of the new movie "I'm Not There," based on the life of legendary singer Bob Dylan. The screening was to benefit the Sydney Theatre Company, for which Cate is currently directing the play "Blackbird" (her second directing stint.) Cate ruled the red carpet in a body-hugging knit dress, which showcased her growing baby bump, and five-inch pumps. The actress' husband, writer/director Andrew Upton was also in attendance at the event. The two are assuming roles as co-artistic directors for the Syndey Theatre Company this month.

Cate, who is expecting her third child in April, is starting to wrap up her obligations in order to spend some quality time with her upcoming arrival (as well as sons Dashiell, five and Roman, three.) She has completed work on the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" with Brad Pitt. She may also want to prepare an acceptance speech; her role in "I'm Not There" is generating Academy Award buzz. I just want to give her kudos for spending an evening in five-inch heels - while pregnant. Now that's an award-winning feat!
