Kate Mixes Business and Pleasure Down Under




"Grey's Anatomy" star Kate Walsh gives photographers a warm smile that matches her bright white sundress as she left the Quay Grand Hotel at Sydney's Circular Quay yesterday. The actress is in town with her hubby, film executive Alex Young, to promote the debut of her show "Private Practice" on Australian television. Alex is in Sydney to check up on the progress of the "X-Men" spin-off "Wolverine," starring Hugh Jackman. Kate told Australia's Daily Telegraph that "Alex is now president of Fox Film productions and Wolverine is one of his films so he's down here getting the Australian end of things going." Of course, Kate managed to squeeze a little fun into her visit, she planned to do a little shopping because, as she put it, "I think Australian fashions are very LA-friendly." Of course they are - look at Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts - those Aussie ladies know how to dress!

John Hangs Loose




"ER" star John Stamos, taking a little break before shooting new episodes of the long-running medical drama, enjoyed a sunset walk along the beautiful shoreline of Maui, Hawaii on Monday. Sorry ladies, the handsome actor didn't show off his physique in board shorts - he was actually dressed more for the colder weather in LA than the heat of Hawaii, sporting green cargo pants, a long sleeve sweater and a Chicago Cubs cap. John recently told Extra he’s dating someone (he didn't reveal who - but I strongly suspect it's the girl behind him in these photos) and said his seduction technique is all about wining and dining. John said, “I love to cook. It's a great date to have someone come over and you cook and you play a little music.” One thing's for sure, John certainly seems to be handling the jet lag much better in Hawaii than he did in Australia!

Shopping with Heidi and Spencer




Heidi and Spencer are back! The "Hills" couple was once again followed by cameras, but this time it was a TV crew from the series "MySpace Presents: The Fit." The popular show, which has previously featured such stars as Emmy Rossum and Samantha Ronson, now follows Heidi as she takes viewers to her favorite stores and doles out fashion tips. The first stop for the fashionable pair was trendy Robertson Boulevard boutique Kitson, where Heidi posed with a "Team Heidi" shirt and modeled a tiger print hoodie. The couple, followed by a swarm of photographers, then made their way to Lisa Klein. Spencer, ever the gentleman carried the bags for his lady love, who was stylishly dressed in a short silver dress with tall wedge heels. What's in those bags anyway? You'll find out when the show debuts on April 15.

Do Ya Think He's (Still) Sexy?




Know what? I kinda do! Come on, Rod Stewart is 63, and he has aged much better than some of his contemporaries - especially the Rolling Stones. And the raspy-voiced, spiky-haired British rocker still puts on one heck of a show. The singer was spotted out and about in Sydney with third wife Penny Lancaster and their 2-year-old son Alastair, before his concert at the city's Acer Arena on Tuesday night. Rod, in the middle of a month-long tour of Australia and New Zealand, has been performing in front of sold-out crowds and getting rave reviews. So, looks like I'm not the only one who still loves Rod!

Julianna Lays Down the Law




"ER" alumni Julianna Margulies got some fresh air on Monday, walking around NYC's SoHo district with her new baby. The actress and her husband, attorney Keith Lieberthal, who were married last November welcomed their son Kieran Lindsay Lieberthal into the world on January 17. Julianna is returning to the small screen in the FOX drama "Canterbury's Law". The new series, which makes its debut on March 10, the actress changes careers - she's moved from medicine to law, playing a hard-driving Providence, R.I., defense attorney who prepared to win her cases by almost any means necessary. Well, she fought "Snakes on a Plane" and now she's playing one - the circle is complete!

Bobbing for Apple




Remember Fiona Apple? In the late 90s, you couldn't turn the radio on without hearing one of her hits, such as "Criminal" or "Sleep to Dream," but she's been flying under the radar since the release of her third album, "Extraordinary Machine" in 2005. Fear not, Fiona fans, the singer is alive and well, seen here taking her pooch out for a stroll in her Venice neighborhood on Monday. Last seen on stage late last summer touring with Nickel Creek, Fiona has reportedly begun work on her fourth studio album, although there's no word on the status of the project. Come on girl, record some new stuff "Fast As You Can!"

Muniz Moves On...Or Does He?




Former "Malcom in the Middle" star Frankie Muniz and his ex-fiancee Jamie Gandy were spotted running some errands together on Monday in Los Angeles. The pair enjoyed breakfast at Duke's on Sunset and then headed to grab some personal belongings from a storage facility in West LA. Frankie, who has followed in the footsteps of such legendary actors as Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, has recently turned his focus from acting to race car driving, recently landing a spot on the 2008 Pacific Coast Motor Sports team. His driving commitments may have driven a wedge between he and Jamie. The 22-year-old actor recently told People magazine that he and Jamie were still "kinda" together and said "It's a very awkward situation, but we're best, best, best friends. And if there was anyone in the world that I wanted to be with, it'd be her. With the racing, it's very difficult, the traveling around." Wouldn't he also have to travel as an actor? I'm just saying....

Another Big Apple Day for Uma




Leggy actress Uma Thurman and her 6-year-old son with actor Ethan Hakwe, Levon Roan spent their Monday running errands in New York City. Uma has been quite the busy lady, starring and producing the upcoming romantic comedy "The Accidental Husband" as well as taking on a role in "My Zinc Bed," a film based on a popular British stage play by "The Hours" scribe David Hare. The film's plot revolves around a young alcoholic who has an affair with the wife of his boss. Despite playing a cheating wife on-screen, Uma, who is dating Swiss millionaire Arpad Busson, is still a romantic at heart. She recently told the London Sunday Times "I think we should search for the fairy-tale ending. Why not? Let’s be real about how unreal we all are.” Sure Uma...but you haven't kissed many toads - Gary Oldman and Ethan Hawke sure don't qualify!

Topher's Sunshine Day




Topher Grace enjoyed a sunny California day on Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard with a friend this past weekend. It's rumored that Marvel Comics is giving Topher's "Spider-Man 3" villain Venom his own spin-off film, but there's no word if Topher's going to be the one suiting up in the black goo to reprise his role. The former "That 70s Show" star has moved up a decade for his latest project - he wrote and stars in "Kids in America," a tale - set in 1988 - about a group of friends trying to figure out what to do with their lives. Oh, one word of advice Topher - sunglasses! Squinting like that's going to make you wrinkle prematurely! Besides, you're a star, you may as well look like one.

An Old Dog's New Flick




Robin Williams, his son Zach, and his wife Marsha were more than happy to take a moment to pose for pictures outside of their hotel in New York City yesterday. Robin is currently working on the comedy "Old Dogs," which is directed by Walt Becker, who also brought us "Wild Hogs" - what's next? "Mild Frogs"? "Foggy Bogs?" In the film Robin co-stars with John Travolta (of "Hogs") as two friends who endure a series of wacky misadventures as they're forced to care for a set of young twins for two weeks. In "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree news," Robin's son Zach is currently working on “Extreme Comedy,” an improv sketch comedy show which takes comedy to the streets of the Big Apple, engaging unsuspecting passers-by in improvised scenes. With Robin as a dad, you've gotta suspect the kid's funny!
