Continuing with their pre-honeymoon jaunt to Rome, Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi strolled around the Italian city in perfect color coordination, where they dined at a restaurant, played in a fountain and got the finger from this guy.

Actually, can you even call that "the finger"? It looks more like he was trying to knock a tick off Portia's ear. Or maybe pinch her cheek.

Either way, I wouldn't eff with Ellen's lady, pal. She'll rip that 'fro right out of your head, just before she drop kicks you into the Trevi Fountain! 

Meanwhile, the gals' cameraman/assistant dude just kept grinning at the paparazzi like, "I-yi-yi! Everytime you take these two out, some crazy's gotta start with Portia's ticks..."

She may not be dragging her teddy bear around the world's airports anymore—though truth be told, we kinda miss seeing her with that ratty thing—but Vanessa Hudgens sure seems to like lugging that zippy black bag with her.

Vanessa flew into LAX from New York and was met with the click-flash of several paparazzi. (Jeez, Baby V, copy Ashley Tisdale much?)

The High School Musical star's new CD, Identified, is out today, and it's back to NYC for her on Thursday, when she tapes an appearance on MTV's TRL to promote the album. Nice. We wouldn't be surprised if Ashley Tisdale were on TRL the day before. Or if Vanessa stole that bag from The Tiz.

Just back off, girlie. The last thing Ashley needs is a stalker in her life.

Damn, did she buy the bricks on the sidewalk in front of the store, too?

We snapped U.K. pop singer Estelle out shopping in London, and girlfriend sure knows how to burn through the plastic! Guess that "American Boy" cash goes a long way.

The song, a duet with Kanye West, recently spent a month on top of the British chart, and it's also climbing up Billboard's Hot 100 at the moment.

Estelle opened for Jay-Z in Dublin last week, ahead of Hova's headlining gig this past weekend at Glastonbury. Let's just hope she grabbed better couture than Jay's wife on her little spree, though!

Elijah Wood and his gal Pamela Racine take multi-tasking to a whole new level—here they are on a date, having a cigarette, knocking back some booze and smiling for the paparazzi, all while getting both dogs' walks out of the way at the same time!

But, Jeez, you two... L'Orange Bleu again? That's, like, the 12th meal there in the past month! There are other classy restaurants in SoHo, you know. Isn't there a Quizno's just around the corner?

And jamming your cigarette in the dogs' face is ultra-classy, Frodo. Hopefully he bites you hard in the ass just before taking the dirt nap from lung cancer.

Snap one more pic of me, buster, and the dog gets it!

Ashley Tisdale arrived at LAX with her dog, Maui, and mom, Lisa, in tow.  Well, not necessarily in that order, but we're ranking them by cuteness.

The Tiz has  been shuttling back and forth between her L.A. home and the Utah set of High School Musical III. And you just know that pup's hating her ass for being dragged along each time!

But chill out, Maui—true, you could've been rescued by someone like Jenna Jameson, and you'd never have the leave the bedroom. Of course, then you'd miss out on being a fly on the wall each day with Hollywood's hottest trio of starlets: Ashley, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens.

Now cut the yapping, or it's muzzle time!
