She’s in and she’s out just as quickly!
Victoria Beckham flew in to Los Angeles on Saturday for the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday.
And on Tuesday night she was back in London, attending the Glamour magazine Women of the Year Awards.
Looking fierce!
We love this outfit. Vicky looks almost clownish. This is something so camp and over the top, Perez would totally wear it if he had a real vagina!

Jennifer Lopez shares a hug with her stepson, Cristian.
The Latina diva and Marc Anthony are celebrating their third wedding anniversary today.
We can’t believe she’s been married that long to him!
(And they still don’t have a baby of their own.)

The always pleasant Avril Lavgine was spotted leaving the Roosevelt Hotel giving paparazzi the finger. Man, what a lady. I read somewhere they were going to ask her to write the Miss Manners column, but were afraid everybody would get discouraged when nobody could live up to the example she’d set. I believe their exact words were, “Her manners! They’re too mannerly! She’s too mannerful!” And then they just repeatedly screamed “manners” for three hours straight. I dunno, I guess that’s what they do in the newspaper business.

Larry Birkhead has just filed suit against his former attorney Debra Opri, who is currently embroiled in the David Hasselhoff divorce case - she is repping The Hoff’s crazy ex.
Birkhead claims Opri defrauded him of over $600,000.
No coincidentally, Debra sued Larry last week for unpaid legal bills, totalling in the hundreds of thousands.
In addition to illegally seizing money that he claims is rightfully his, Birkhead also alleges that Opri broke their attorney-client confidentiality by giving an MSNBC reporter privileged information.
It was that reporter who referred the lawyer to Anna Nicole’s babydaddy.
Larry alleges that Debra said she was willing to represent him free of charge, because “the publicity from her representation of Plaintiff would greatly benefit Opri’s legal career.”
Well Debbie got the publicity, but it’s turning out to be of the negative kind lately.
Hope it was worth it for her!

PrivacyWatch celebrity sightings are submitted by our readers, and are posted several times a week, so them in often. Submit yours to tips[AT]defamer.com (please put “sighting” or “PrivacyWatch” in the subject line) and tell everyone about the time you spotted the star of your favorite CW series dumping her boyfriend at a local eatery.
In today’s episode: Will Ferrell; Prince; Vincent Gallo; Edward Norton; Alan Arkin; Greg Germann; Kristin Kreuk and Mark Hildreth; Johnny Weir; Bryan Greenberg, Paul Johansson, Geoff Stults, Evan Jones, Stacy Keibler and Olivia Munn.
· Exiting the Sherman Oaks Galleria last night (Wednesday, 5/30) my friend and I saw a bit of a commotion by the exit. Several joyous faces were focused on one guy who was wearing a baseball hat and sporting a fro/full beard combo. I quickly realized it was Will Ferrell and stopped to watch. He was chatting up the group that gathered and as he tried to escape someone stuck out their hand for him to shake and I saw up close and personal the slightly annoyed look on Will’s face as he accommodated what was probably his millionth handshake of the evening. Then we followed him down the escalator several floors where he remained unnoticed and watched as he entered the valet parking area.
· Two sightings from the same day (5-30)…
Waiting at a corner on Melrose for the light to change when a big black SUV pulls up with the window down. In the passenger seat, motherfucking Prince looking great of course. Don’t know what he is using on his skin but he practically glows. Nice to see he is not too cool to sit in the front.
Hanging around Franklin at night near La Poubelle when up strolls a very hairy Vincent Gallo, also looking good but in a different way. He met up with some friends sitting on the patio.
· Spotted Edward Norton chattin’ it up in Raffles L’Ermitage bar in BH, looking dapper in a black suit and blue collared shirt. (night of 05/22/07)
· 5/30 7pm - Walked into Bangkok Cafe on Pico and who’s one table over but ALAN ARKIN! He was sitting with an age-appropriate woman who I assume was his wife and a few other people. He was just normal and cool and probably now my favorite celebrity sighting.
· 5-30 Greg Germann at Whole Foods in Brentwood with a baseball cap on and salt and pepper hair that was heavy on the salt. He said his show wasnt coming back but he was sweet and funny about it. Nice silver Audi.
· Dinner with dad last night at BLD (his choice–he’s still hep at 83). An actress type of the luminescent golden skin and eyes like deep pools variety was at the next table, obviously breaking it off with a ginger (that’s what we call redheads in the U.K.) cool dork guy. He ate (appetite clearly diminished by the events at hand). She didn’t. Nothing. Not a bite. Through my detective skills I was able to discern from her credit card slip that she was one Kristin Kreuk. Through my Google skills I was able to figure out that she has major roles in Smallville (thus, soon to be ex-boyfriend’s Clark Kent style specs?) and some other pathetic WBish show that I can’t remember now and can’t be bothered to Google again. The guy seemed to be one Mark Hildreth, with a prodigious IMDB listing that stretches back to 1985. He’s in the new ‘Pirates’ but don’t get excited as before that it was ‘Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus 3-D’ Anyway, Dad thought the guy was sleeping at the table, but I’m pretty sure he was just experiencing the crushing blow of reality and future life without the luscious Kristin. They stayed for a long low volume exchange after paying the bill, she discreetly wiped away tears that didn’t actually seem to exist (nice touch, fuckin’ actresses!). Then they left.
· Better late than never: Memorial Day Weekend (Sunday) around midnight saw not-quite-out figure skater Johnny Weir chilling with a bevy of beautiful (female) blondes at Micky’s in WeHo. Did not see him tip any of the Go Go Boys.
· Thursday, 5/31 at the Bryan Greenberg show at The Mint, an incredible list of B (C?) listers: “One Tree Hill” co-star Paul Johansson (looks younger in person, might be due to the fact that he acts and dresses like a 21 year old), “October Road” co-stars Geoff Stults (looks older in person, but still incredibly attractive) and Evan Jones (did Steve Zahn and Flea have some sort of crack/love baby?), Stacy Keibler (she was tall? And, um, blond?), and “Attack of the Show” hostess Olivia Munn (looking bloated and uncomfortable, no rhythm on that girl). BG was good but too skinny.
