After smoking a questionable-looking cigarette just the other day, Kevin Spacey seems to be left with just the butt.

The actor has been spending time in Hvar, Croatia.  When we go out to nightclubs, and someone says "bottoms up," we tend to interpret the phrase differently...

Thankfully it's a holiday weekend because these pics border on NSFW.

In a whirlwind of false eyelashes and liquid leggings, The Today Show's Friday lineup of musical acts left us confused, amused, and seeing a world full of possibility.

"I Kissed a Girl" songbird Kate Perry posed for photos with a whole bunch of kissable girls, a.k.a. The Pussycat Dolls (revisions and all).  And then... and then for whatever reason, Jesse McCartney (a lover of girl group members himself) popped up in the mix.  Looks like Jesse left his leggings at home.  False eyelashes?  We'll let you decide.

It seemed like just yesterday that Ruby Sweetheart was getting some help walking from dad Toby Maguire.

On Thursday, the little gal was looking decidedly more grown up as she and mom Jennifer Meyer made their way through LAX.  We're always interested in seeing what kind of unique baubles jewelry-designing Jennifer is donning...

We hope you ladies had a nice flight!  Don't grow up too fast, Ruby.  It makes us feel old.

Holy poop!

Charlize Theron looked incredible at Friday's The Burning Plain premiere at the 65th Annual Venice Film Festival.  That dress is mesmerizing.  And she is an absolute vision in it!

Now, we haven't exactly been "huge fans" of Charlize in recent times, but we are fair.  And in all fairness, we gotta give the gal credit where it's deserved.  Again.  Wow.

Also on hand for the premiere were Guillermo Arriaga, Jennifer Lawrence, Joaquim de Almeida, Jose Maria Yazpik, and J.D. Pardo.

After months and months and months of Hugh Jackman sporting the Wolverine chops and then the Australia scruff, he has rekindled his affair with a razor.  Beautiful.

Well folks, there she is.  Halle Berry's previously hidden beautiful baby girl Nahla Ariela Aubry (born March 16th) took a trip to the L.A. Zoo on Saturday with her mom and grandmother Judith (Halle's mother).

Good to see that the keeping of Nahla "shrouded in mystery" was finally recognized as futile.  With those high-arched brows and green eyes, Nahla will certainly be keeping the family tradition of infathomable hotness alive.

We wonder where papa Gabriel Aubry is for the day.  Probably off being professionally beautiful somewhere...

Thanks for the smile, Halle.  Your baby is a beauty.

Singer-slash-actress Mandy Moore arrives at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday carrying her guitar on her back.

The girl's outfit—guitar, black-framed glasses and all—is indie-chick personified.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm surprised to see Mandy all alone, for once.

It's the darnedest thing: We have been running into Sienna Miller everywhere lately in London.

On Thursday night we spotted her in skinny jeans, a pair of black boots and a matching shirt as she left her mom's home after spending the day with her.

The next day we saw her speedily texting away on her PDA.

That afternoon after she left the salon she flipped us the bird. (Really, Sienna. Was that necessary? We were only trying to document your fleeting blonde beauty—you know—while it's still intact.)

And later on we caught her skipping town on a helicopter.

What time is it Sienna? What's that you say? It's "f*ck you o'clock"? Thanks!

(I guess we deserved that.)

We caught up with Olympic mega-champion Michael Phelps as he attended a press conference at the McBurney YMCA in New York on Thursday to announce the Visa Grant for Early Swimming Program.

What a sweetheart. He is making it very difficult to say what I am about to say...

You know how when Phelps is in the pool looking all athletic with his perfect bod, radiant confidence and donning a swim cap that holds his ears in place?

Well, it seems the minute his swim cap comes off, so does his magnetic seduction. Sadly, Phelps seems to be a bit of a dork outside of the pool.

But apparently that's not stopping country singer Carrie Underwood. The two are reportedly planning a first date.

Attention whore Actress Lindsay Lohan has also expressed an Olympic-sized crush on Phelps. Something tells me LiLo won't be switching teams anytime soon for the Phelps man.

Even dorks have standards.

Speaking of skinny minnies, we spotted Kristen Johnston (remember her from 3rd Rock from the Sun?), looking frighteningly thin as she took her pit bull for a stroll through the Soho neighborhood of New York on Thursday.

The comedic actress stayed glued to her phone and text messaged with each stride.

Oy vey. Honey, what's wrong?

Check out her dog's pensive expression. Even she seems worried for her owner. (So sad!)

I truly hope she is alright. The lady is awesomely hilarious when she is on top of her game!

Chad Michael Murray and his fiancee Kenzie Dalton arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday.

A near-skeletal Kenzie (no joke!) made sure to have her makeup in place before posing for the cameras.

Kenzie, you're a living doll. Stop sweating the small stuff... literally.

The way these two cling to each other while in the presence of luggage reminds me of another couple... *dreamy thought bubbles*

Katie Holmes returns to the Minetta Lane Theater in New York after a lunch break on Thursday.

[INSERT SNARKY STYLE COMMENTARY HERE]

Are you as tired as we are of analyzing every style step Holmes has made these past weeks?

Tim Gunn isn't.

The Project Runway guru has been criticizing Katie's recent "dowdy" looks, saying she managed to transform herself from a "farm girl" look into a truly "sophisticated" fashionista. But, he adds, she needs to stay away from styles that make her look old beyond her years.

And the pegged jeans: Gunn just doesn't get it. Claims he has no idea where that trend is coming from.

Mind you, all of this is coming from the recently-installed creative director of Liz Claiborne. Um, wasn't that brand big in the '80s? I'm just sayin' it's no Prada.

*Commenters, please have mercy on me. I know I have committed crimes against pop culture by speaking ill of the revered Tim Gunn. But it had to be said.*

Well, not with the Fendi (as in Adele Casagrande Fendi).  But, Kim Kardashian's ginormo Fendi purse is big enough to require its own chair, so we're going to consider it a dining partner.

Kim put on some "rich person lazy clothing," tied her hair up into a really cute ponytail (watch out, Hewitt), and headed to 3rd Street celebutrough Toast for lunch.  In addition to her Fendi, Kim was joined by her Dancing with the Stars partner Mark Ballas.

What do you think Kim is carrying in that ha-uge bag?  One Olsen or two?

Director-actor Mario Van Peebles prepares for departure from LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Forget Van Peebles, though. I'm cracking up at the scene-stealer behind him.

She is really going cuckoo over her McFlurry. It's as if she's an '80s McDonald's commercial come to life.

We just love those randoms who enjoy hijacking celeb photos.

Yesterday, we gushed about how excited we are for Burn After Reading's upcoming U.S. release.  Then, later in the day, the flick premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

Some things to note:

- Brad Pitt done gone 'n' found himself a crunk juice holder!
- George Clooney's tan is awe-inspiring.
- Valeria Golino's necklace is looks like candy.  And yet, still big time classy.
- Tilda Swinton might be the only person in the world who looks good in that color.  Kudos, Swinton.  Kudos.

Sienna Miller takes her dogs out for a walk with her mother Jo before going for a bite to eat at a local eatery on Thursday in London.

The actress says she is tired of her "slut" image and that the press has blown her private life completely out of proportion.

Sienna, 26, and boyfriend Balthazar Getty, 33, are reportedly house hunting in Malibu. Well, more like mansion hunting. Could this really be, um, for real?

Rumors of ultra exclusive neighborhoods, grand architecture and open-air showers are swirling—and we know how much Miller likes to air out.

Look who we spotted at LAX today!  George Takei (Star Trek's Mr. Sulu) and his partner of 21 years Brad Altman flashed our lenses their big smiles.  And they've plenty of reason to be happy:

George and Brad recently announced that they will be marrying on September 14th!

We want to know if Brad sees a dermatologist and, if so, who.  That fella's skin looks perfie!

Check out the photos of the happy, traveling, engaged couple.

We wonder what the photographers said to make her flash that great big smile.  Maybe she was just amused by the sexy Aussie accents?  Whatever the reason, we are quite pleased to see her happy face (which is rarely snapped so cheerful stateside).

Today, Eva Mendes took a jog near Bondi Beach during her stay in Sydney, Australia.  The gal looks great.  What more can we say?

Supermodel Eva Herzigova arrives with none other than Valentino himself for the screening of the movie Valentino: The Last Emperor at the 65th Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

With a toss of her tussled tresses, chic mini Ray-Ban sunglasses and enough panache to inspire a small nation, I wonder if Eva needs to hitch a ride to the DNC in Colorado. Forget Biden, I'm lobbying for an Obama-Herzigova ticket.

Too bad she's not a natural-born citizen.

Yesterday, Pamela Anderson paid a visit to a bunch of sailors.  We bet they had a lot in common.

Two hot blondes...

...out shopping in Los Angeles!

Sorry boys. Wish I could have told you they were spotted making out in the dressing room that they shared while they were totally nude, in between outfits they were trying on.

But this is what actually happened: Actresses Ali Larter and Amy Smart, who are good friends, shopped at Calypso in Sunset Plaza shopping center on Wednesday.

The closest they came to making out was when Ali borrowed Amy's lip gloss... Okay, that didn't happen either (that we know of).

Gerard Butler looked like a regular ol' anyman today as he poured over a script while lunching solo on the patio of Soho's Spring Natural restaurant.

I have to hand it to Nina Garcia. The lady knows what's up when it comes to elegance and just plain common sense.

The Project Runway judge, Elle editor-at-large and the next fashion director at Marie Claire (How does she have time to be a mom?) recently said that Crocs should have never been invented.

Halleluah, sistah!

Crocs are the ugliest, most unflattering shoes on the planet. Sometimes I just want to stop women in the street and tell them: "Do you want guys to think you're into ladies? Because that's what those awful shoes are telling them."

Unlike Nina, I also think it is a crime to place the perforated and blindingly bright shoes on unwitting children. Case in point: Do you think Madonna would ever be caught dead in a pair of those rubber monsters that look like they've been through a Florida voting machine? I think not. But she lets Rocco wear 'em all the time.

It's borderline child abuse, IMHO.

By the way, we spotted Garcia pushing her new book The One Hundred at Saks 5th Avenue in New York on Wednesday.

We think we know more about Kelly Osbourne's mysterious black eye, now...

The story goes, part of her kitchen fell and hit her on the head and, luckily, didn't cause more damage. The 23-year-old has told the press that she caught her eye on the corner of a cupboard as she was getting a glass of water. She didn't realize the extent of the injury until she felt blood dripping from near her eye.

I still suspect a drunken, disappointment-inspired bender is the culprit. The girl lost her job. She is drama. Mix those two elements and you get the perfect storm for irratic and dangerous movement.

Remember a few years ago when Sir Sean Connery announced he was retiring from acting?  Like so many retired folks, Connery is spending his post-career years doing things he enjoys.  In Connery's case, prominent among those things is being a Scot.  Really.  He wrote the book on it.  Literally (intended).

On Monday (which was his 78th birthday), Sean attended the Edinburgh International Book Festival to promote Being a Scot, the book he co-wrote with Murray Grigor. 

Look for our upcoming book on 2050's best seller list:  Being a Cranky Old B**** With Carpal Tunnel.  We'll posing the same way, but someone else will have to hold the book for us.

Alert the media: This may be the only time you feel an ounce of sympathy for Kelly Osbourne...

We spotted Kelly leaving her London home on Tuesday, heading to the doctor to get a freshly-minted black eye checked out.

While it is not clear how Kelly sustained the injury, I wonder if one of the reporters she was bad mouthing at the Reading Festival over the weekend met her in a secluded area and kicked the sh*t out of her.

You see, during interviews this weekend she went on a Kelly-style tirade, calling journalists liars and accusing them of making up stories about her family.

We also suspect all of this may have stemmed from her getting the axe from her Sky One show Project Catwalk, which has been canceled.

Kelly, did you go on a self-indulgent bender and find yourself in a bar brawl? Surely, Luke didn't do that to you!

b) The locals with whom Jerry is shaking hands do highly resemble the actual King of Queens star Kevin James (especially from this angle).

Kim Kardashian jetted out of LAX yesterday.  *insert lewd comment about loving watching her go*

The reality star is a lover of labels, it seems.  Her carry-ons were covered in Louis Vuitton and Fendi monograms.  We gotta say that we much prefer the "label" worn by her mom Kris.  Mrs. Jenner's scarf had peace symbols aplenty (and yes, we do realize that said scarf was probably created by one of the aforementioned labels which would almost negate our point... but we can't prove that... so go with it).

While going through security, Kim did her best Heather Mills impression.  Turns out, she'll have even more in common with Ms. Mills.  It was just announced that Kim will be a contestant on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars!

Last night, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got a little alone time (until fans and photogs spotted them).  Under the watchful eye of a bodyguard, the patient pair caught a showing of South Pacific currently playing at the Lincoln Center Theater on Broadway.  After the show, the two graciously signed several autographs for fans.

Katie, who will soon be making her own debut on Broadway in All My Sons, has sure been catching several shows on the Great White Way (see here and here).

Tom looked oddly... sweaty as they were leaving the building.  We wonder what's up.  Maybe he couldn't find his lifts.  We joke, you crazy kids.

After his likeness made the cover of Corn Flakes, he, apparently, is now a spokesperson for Team Visa.  Phelps smiled and held things up for the cameras at the Sofitel Hotel in London.

We sincerely hope Michael starts using that very credit card.  How's that for a picture ID?

These photos of Ryan Seacrest are very reassuring.  They pretty much reinforce our ideas of what it is "to be" Ryan Seacrest.  Let's see:

Travel by helicopter?  Yup.
Camo cargo shorts?  Yup.
Man purse?  You betcha.
Unsightly sandals?  A guy can't be perfect.
CASH MONEY MONEY?  Well, yes.  Now more than ever.
Oh... and flashy smile.  Such a given that no question mark is required.

Yesterday, the mini media mogul was spotted heading out of a Chelsea heliport in NYC.

Oh look!  It's Jus Lon in Lar.

We enjoy his shirt which reads, "Roc 'N' Rol."

He's so hip.  We hop you had a nic day, Jus.


In non-abbreviated news:  Yesterday, Justin Long chatted up some ladies outside of a Larchmont Village Rite Aid.  In case you ever wondered what Ron Jeremy looked like in his younger years, check out Justin's pal.

Hey there, Crazy Bracelet.

On Friday, Lindsay Lohan's (all over the map in terms of sanity) father Michael Lohan was spotted walking through the terminal of LaGuardia airport.  MiLo (see how we did that?) was strolling with former child star and now entertainment lawyer Jeff Cohen.  The two were discussing The Fight for Charities... or something?

What we do know, is that Michael was carrying an application for amateur boxing.

Think he'll be duking it out for charity?  Or (God willing) are he and Dina going to settle their differences in the ring?  We'd pay donate sh*tloads to see that!

Do buy Dubai!

That's what Donald Trump would have us do.

Last night, the stars got gussied up and hit the red rug at the Tar Estate in Bel Air to celebrate Nakheel and The Trump Organization's new Trump International Hotel & Tower in Dubai.  Yaaaay...

Some thoughts: 
-We like Ivanka Trump.  She totally could have been like this, but she chose not to.  Thank you, Ivanka.
-Christina Aguilera should only smile.  The indecisive expression results in an unflattering Elvis lip on her.
-Orlando Bloom, where is Miranda?  We luff her.  Half of KerrBloom! is not as fun.
-Walsh!

Well, that should do it for thoughts for the day.  We'll be over here napping whilst you browse the 70-photo gallery!

Would you take a trip to Dubai?

Now, we know Beverly Hills 90210 was about a bunch of hot, young, rich kids going to high school.

We thought the remake 90210 was about the same.  But maybe not.  After looking at these photos we're pretty sure it's about hot, young, rich kids who make funny faces.

Seriously.  Did the cast get together before last night's Malibu launch party, huddle up, and say, "Alright team.  We gotta get people to watch this thing.  How are we gonna accomplish that?"  "I know!  What if we all make funny faces every time a camera finds us!!?"  "Yahtzee!"

Well, mission accomplished.  Those ridiculous faces just gained you this viewer.  30 cast photos in the gallery!

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kid Rock perform live on ABC's Good Morning America in New York on Friday.

The two forces of thunderous white trash musical talent have teamed up—one representing Southern fried rock, the other a white rapper with rock 'n roll panache—for the anthem "All Summer Long."

Are you humming the horrifically infectious melody yet?
What a KLASSY way to kick off the weekend.

Heather Mills carries some notebooks as she heads out of her Soho House hotel in the Meatpacking District of New York with a female friend.

I wonder if people think more fondly of her now that her ex husband and former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney has written some warm lyrics about his strong feelings for her?

Some of the lyrics are as follows: “I was awakened by magic. I was alone in this world. Take me away from here... [Though we are] worlds apart, we could climb every mountain, swim through every sea. When all the world is asleep we could set ourselves free."

A friend of Paul's also explained to the London press the meaning of song, saying it indicates that Heather helped him get over the death of his wife and that he wished she would have been more truthful with him about her past. But now, he just feels sorry for her.

Oof, that's gotta hurt. Sounds like Sir Paul could be a bit bitter, too.

Carla Bruni, the current wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, arrives at the Buddhist temple of Lerab Ling in Roqueredonde, France, on Friday, where she is welcomed by the Dalai Lama for the temple's inauguration ceremony.

Upon her arrival the Dalai Lama presents Bruni with the typical white Tibetan scarf known as a khata.

Am I the only one finding the odd juxtaposition in this picture? One figure is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people and experienced years in exile for asserting his religious and political beliefs. The other is a ho former model who has slept with everyone from Eric Clapton to Donald Trump to Mick Jaggar (reportedly breaking up his marriage with Jerry Hall).

Kate Moss drops into a London wine shop on Friday to purchase a few bottles.

Having a party, Kate? How come we weren't invited?

The model recently spoke to the press about growing up a waif-like, crooked-toothed kid. All she ever wanted was to look like Cindy Crawford, she said in a recent interview. And after five years of a photographer forcing her to pose topless, she finally got used to it.

Hell, I'd need some wine too if I had been forced to go through that.

Larry David landed at LAX yesterday in a wave of uneventfulness.

Looks like he curbed his enthusiasm long before hitting the curbside.

*tugging on collar*

Larry proceeded to try and connect (via cell phone) with his pickup.  We love how that constantly flustered expression of his isn't just specific to his Curb persona.  Props for the Camp David hat!

School is starting, but this group of high school dropouts celebrities wouldn't know it...

What Would Tyler Durden Do takes off his wisecrack hat for a minute to feel sorry for Katie Holmes. Weird.

The Gossip Girls call Hilary Duff a Barneys babe.

Pop Sugar wants to know if you think you'll warm up to the name Zuma (yep, Gwen Stefani had her kid).

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are spotted out shopping around Hollywood hitting up Satine on 3rd Street before heading to Samy's Camera on Thursday.

Linds, you're looking rather thin here. Are you okay, dahling? Trying to emulate your "friend" SamRo's build?

You can't go around it.  You can't go under it.  You can't go through it.  You gotta go over it.

Yesterday, Wesley Snipes exited a patio in that very fashion after grabbing lunch at the Spice Market.

Hmmm.  Maybe he should apply that tactic to his taxes.
