Queer Eye for the Aussie Guy




"Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" fashion guru Carson Kressley has made another trek to the land down under. The  host of the new reality series "How to Look Good Naked" has had a long-standing affinity for Australia, calling it his "second home", and was spotted heading for lunch at Otto's restaurant on the Finger Wharf in Woolloomooloo, Sydney. The 38-year-old Carson is currently in Australia celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the famed Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the one of the premiere global gay events in the world. Carson told the press that "I'm not doing it for work or any other reason, I just want to support an amazing event like the 30th anniversary." Between his duties on "Naked" and his new fashion line for QVC, Carson deserves a little break!

Hugh's In the "House"!




Lookee who we found at LAX! As celebrities were flying out of Hollywood yesterday following the 80th Academy Awards, the slightly unconventional "House" star Hugh Laurie bucked the trend, flying into the city. Hugh's family, his wife Jo and kids Rebecca, Charlie and Bill, still live over in London and, since "House" is now back in production (yay!), the actor had to return to LA to film additional episodes for the show's abbreviated fourth season. Four new episodes are being produced and will begin airing on Monday, April 28. Hugh told England's Daily Mail that he enjoyed his unexpected hiatus from work, telling the paper, "I've been at home playing piano in my underpants." Now that I'd love to see!

Paris Finds Love, Needs Friends




Paris Hilton has (once again) found love - in the guise of Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden. The pair were spotted leaving LA's hot nightclub Hyde together on Sunday night. Paris, who's been romantically linked with everyone from Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos to Pam Anderson's current hubby Rick Salomon - and a lot of men in between - met the newly-single Benji, who recently split with Australian model/actress Sophie Monk, through her close friend and former "Simple Life" co-star Nicole Richie, who is engaged to Benji's brother Joel.

Since "Simple Life" isn't being renewed and Nicole is busy with her new daughter Harlow, Paris is in the market for a new BFF. So, what better way than to find one than a reality show? US magazine reported yesterday that Paris is working on a new untitled reality show that is expected to be ordered by either MTV or VH1. "The show is going to be about her searching for a new best friend," a source told the magazine. "Paris is tired of the haters and she's looking for someone new. She's looking for someone new and cool who she can trust." Oh, I'm sure this will work out for her - because this format has worked out so well for Flavor ("Don't spell it Flava!") Flav and Bret Michaels!

The Party's Over...




LAX has been buzzing with celebrities heading home from this weekend's Independent Spirit Awards and, of course, the Academy Awards. Lovely Sienna Miller, sporting some Elton John-worthy baby blue sunglasses, and her beau Ryhs Ifans were among the stars spotted at the always busy airport. Sienna is currently working on the big screen blockbuster "G.I. Joe" where she plays the villainous Baroness. Also seen escaping from La-La-Land was "Atonement" star James McAvoy and his wife Anne-Marie Duff. James should make a quick escape, as Courtney Love has admitted on her blog that she's got a crush on him - and Josh Hartnett. It's probably best to get as far away from her as possible!

Liev Him Alone!




Actor Liev Schreiber was spotted sporting some unusual facial hair as he was seen leaving a beachside cafe in Sydney after an interview with an Australian reporter. The longtime beau of actress Naomi Watts has grown the super-furry sideburns for his role as Sabretooth, the arch-nemesis of Hugh Jackman's "Wolverine" in the upcoming "X-Men" spinoff. Liev, Naomi and their son Alexander arrived in Sydney last week to work on the flick. Liev and Naomi were also spotted doing a little house hunting in Sydney and dining with Naomi's BFF, Nicole Kidman. I think the muttonchops look sexy on Liev - mustaches are having a comeback of sorts, how about bringing back these extreme sideburns?

Lisa's Unexpected New Friend




"Friends" star Lisa Kudrow spent part of her Sunday doing some grocery shopping with a friend at Beverly Hills' Bristol Farms. The actress, most recently seen on the big screen in the rom-com "P.S. I Love You," has a most unexpected fan - 59-year-old British actor Tom Wilkinson, who was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar for his role in "Michael Clayton." He told E! on the Academy Awards red carpet yesterday that "I met Lisa Kudrow yesterday, and I was just so tongue-tied, and I blushed. It was terrible. She must think I'm a complete idiot. I just thought, 'That's Phoebe!' I'm addicted to the show. I watch the re-runs every day, and I get irritated if I don't see it." Who knew, huh? Lisa may be getting another new generation of fans, as she joins teen sensation Vanessa Hudgens and "Lemony Snicket" star Liam Aiken in the musical coming-of-age comedy-drama "Will."

Still In the Pink




Singer P!nk (born Alecia Moore) was all smiles as she left Da Silvano restaurant in New York's West Village after having lunch on Saturday. The "Stupid Girls" hit machine recently announced on her blog that she and her husband of two years, motocross racer, former "Surreal Life" star and tattoo parlor owner Carey Hart. The split was amicable and according to P!nk, the two are still close friends, saying "One never knows the future, but mine and Carey's just might involve beach babies and sunshine one day. Just not right now." She's certainly taking the break-up well - in addition to having a yummy Italian lunch on Saturday, P!nk pampered herself at a local spa and then engaged in some "retail therapy" at the H&M on Broadway Avenue. Hang tough girl, hope it's "Feel Good Time" again for you real soon!

U2 Comes Home




Bono and his U2 bandmates - Adam Clayton, the Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. were in attendance at Dublin's Cineworld for the European premiere of their concert film "U2 3D" during the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival on Wednesday night. Bono - modeling two different styles of his trademark shades - and the boys are currently working on their 12th studio album, the follow-up to their 2004 hit "How to Dismantle an Atom Bomb,"  with long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Lanois told Billboard.com that the yet-to-be-titled album is nothing short of a "masterpiece." Would we expect any less from U2?
