In today’s episode: Don Johnson; Topher Grace, Seth Gabel, Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan; Drew Barrymore and Justin Long; Seth MacFarlane, Steve Harwell, Reid Scott and Michael Bunin; Dominic Monaghan; Michael Ovitz; John Cho; Dita Von Teese; Adrian Grenier; Monica Keena and David Anders; Gregg Araki and James Duval; Dizzy Reed; William Mapother; Brandon Davis and Danny Bonaduce.

· A well-preserved Don Johnson was having lunch outside at Le Petit Greek on Larchmont today (9/26). Had this been twenty some-odd years ago, I would’ve been so excited instead of mildly/hardly amused.

· Post-Arcade Fire at Magnolia on Sunset. Saw a baseball-capped Topher Grace with pervy/sweaty/stabby Nip/Tuck kid, Seth Gabel. They chatted up some girls on the patio before walking off down Sunset. Thirty minutes and one burger later, saw Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan walking towards us arm and arm. She stopped at the valet stand and waited as an attendant got her car, while Rodriguez kept strolling along by himself. After getting her SUV, McGowan drove and caught up with the still ambling Rodriguez further down Sunset where he then got in. Those two head cases seem made for each other.

· Bizarre assortment of C-level celebs at Bar Lubitsch last night (9/26), plus one good one. The C-team: Seth “Family Guy” MacFarlane, the lead singer of Smashmouth (Steve Harwell, and two of the dudes from TBS’ “My Boys”. (”Brendan” (Reid Scott) and “Kenny” (Michael Bunin), hanging together. life imitating TV art.)

The good one: Drew Barrymore. She’s been there a few times lately… with the Mac guy (Justin Long). Didn’t see him last night, though. Had a weird feeling when she was standing by our table. I thought, ” Who is that? Did I go to high school with that girl? Did we go on a blind date once? Wait, no, it’s Drew Barrymore. Right on.”

· Saw Dominic Monaghan at the Klaxon’s concert at the Henry Fonda (Sept. 26). No girlfriend in sight, but that’s probably because she wasn’t fired from LOST like he was and is currently filming in Hawaii. Dude is super short - although since he played a hobbit in three movies that’s probably too obvious of an observation.

· Last Tuesday Michael Ovitz, wife Judy and three children being congratulated by former CAA cohorts at Ovitz’s new restaurant Kumo on Melrose.

· 9/26: Dinner at Canele in Atwater Village, saw John Cho or as my friend who spotted him first put it, “the only Asian actor I recognize, you know, the dude from Harold & Kumar.” Ahh… I don’t think she watches HEROES. Being 1 and 1/2 asians between the two of us, I replied (silently), “more recognizable roles for Asian-American actors!” Anywho, he’s a handsome fellow.

· Saw Dita Von Teese at the Hollywood Bowl Sunday 9/23 for the Rufus Wainwright show (which was amazing). She was waiting in the Will Call line with a less fabulous friend. She looked incredible with perfect hair and make up, and a gorgeous outfit. Unfortunately that outfit covered her well, no free show for us.

· 9/19 7:30pm - Saw Adrian Grenier at LACMA for the Muse reception before the “Into the Wild” screening. He was flanked by two blonde girls who looked like they couldn’t tell a Cezanne from a Hockney. He couldn’t have cared less about them, choosing instead to direct his attention to the stage where The Good Listeners were performing. He was wearing a black fleece and dark pants, requisite face fuzz, all of which looked good on him. Total cutie.

· Wed, 9/26: The Coronet on La Cienega - Spotted Monica Keena (Dawson’s Creek, various guest star roles–she was the girl with the pole through her gut on Grey’s Anatomy) sitting at a booth along the bar. Couldn’t see who she was with at first, but noticed that she’s looking aaaaaaawfully plastic. Remember the 30 Rock episode where Jane Krakowski’s character has a ton of work done and Tina Fey goes on about her looking like a burn victim? I feel like a bitch saying it, but poor Monica is approaching that territory. Or maybe she hasn’t had any work done and just has a naturally tight skinned-big lipped face! Oh, but then, when she left, I saw she was following David Anders (one of the new Heroes, formerly of Alias) out of the bar. She’s very tiny. He’s very hot.

· Saw Gregg Araki and James Duval holding court at the Editors show Monday night @ The Wiltern

· Just got back to town and my Internet connection, but did have one very small celebrity sighting to share from a recent trip to Los Angeles. Last Thursday night (9/20), at the Supersuckers gig at the Key Club, just happened to run into Dizzy Reed, keyboard player for Guns and Roses. I know it’s not much, but I would hope it’s at least a TINY bit more interesting than Nate Corddry or some of the other “who?” I have seen listed in the sightings.

· 2 quasi-celeb sightings in 1 day, although I doubt the first really counts:

Sunday 9/23- a brunching Brandon Davis, famous for being greasy, sleeping with celebutards, and calling Lindsay a “firecrotch”, eating with 3 disheveled friends at Mauro’s Cafe in Fred Segal. He looked less greasy and bloated than usual. I was sitting next to his table and believe I overheard him talking about a recent visit to the doctor. Draw your own conclusions…

Sunday 9/23- 8 PM
Went out with a few friends for a low-key pastrami-on-rye dinner. Standing with us waiting to be seated was William Mapother- Ethan on Lost and as Tom Cruise’s cousin. He was by himself with a stack of magazines and asked to be seated in the back. He was reading intensely the entire time. Very low-key, tall, and better looking than expected. Still creeped me out to come face to face with one of The Others.

· Sep 25 On the JetBlue bus from JFK to Burbank. Danny Bonaduce himself, looking very LA in bestudded jeans, designer tee, and a very, very sparkly rhinestone belt buckle. I had to put my shades on, the glow was so intense. He went to the back of the bus, BTW.

Mariah Carey is extremely serious about her bathroom privacy. She had a few too many drinks at VH1’s Music Cares event and took her bodyguards to the bathroom. Here’s what happened, according to NY Daily News:

Two women already there say her security tried to evict them, but they refused to leave. Says one: “One of the bodyguards said to us, ‘If you’re going to stay, you better not watch Mariah pee.’”

Wait, wait, let’s repeat that one more time. “If you’re going to stay, you better not watch Mariah pee.” Hilarious! There’s no way I can follow a line like that. I’m packing this one in. Bam, sealed, run it. That bodyguard should do stand up. He would kill. Who wants to see Mariah Carey pee? No, actually, don’t answer that. I don’t want to know how many of you are out there. I like to think I’m unique.

Wow, Audrina Partridge is ambitious. First she’s filler, now she’s moved up to flashing her panties to the paparazzi. This is almost making me consider spelling her last name right. Almost. I’m going to wait this one out though. She should stop being famous in about ten minutes, and then I can go back to calling her “That girl from that show who’s not blonde.”

I’m not sure why Audrina Partridge is famous. People tell me she’s on The Hills so I assume she must be really good at talking on her cell phone. Well, today she gets to be filler. It’s a real honor, I know. Bask in it, Audrina. Oh, I almost forgot a trademark witty comment to make this experience complete. Here we go, so, hey, your last name is Partridge. Did you enjoy riding on the bus with David Cassidy? Ha, get it? Audrina Partridge. Partridge Family. They rode that bus. No? Nothing? Damn. Sorry, Audrina. Could you maybe acquire a drug problem or neglect your kids? You know, something hilarious.

EDIT: Turns out her last name is actually Patridge, not Partridge. Wow, she’s even more useless than I thought. I’m leaving her name misspelled in the post though, because, well, she’s Audrina Partridge. I could’ve spelled it “Pancake” for all anybody cares.

Guess which young star has a very pampered puppy?

Dina Lohan is denying reports that daughter Lindsay is checking out of rehab this weekend.

“Not true - staying in Utah,” Dina tells Access Hollywood.

Lindsay has been staying at the Cirque Lodge in Utah since early August.

Not much going on today, so here’s Natalie Portman out in New York being shy. I can’t even remember the last time she was on the site. I think it was back in the 1920’s. The site was black and white, and everytime a post went up there’d be a little kid on the corner with a funny hat yelling, “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!”

Victoria Beckham decided it’d be cool to dress like a Nazi as she flew from LA to Japan. Some say she’s basing her look on Tom Cruise’s new role as a Nazi colonel. Victoria and Tom’s wife Katie Holmes are close friends. So close, that Katie is coaching Posh Spice’s career that can’t seem to take off. A source close to Victoria spoke to the The Daily Mail:

“Katie Holmes had been helping her with scripts and perfecting her acting but even that has not helped the situation. Victoria had hoped to be picking and choosing presenting roles too. She had wanted perhaps to guest host on Larry King - in the way that Heather Mills did. But that has not worked out either. She had been hoping that the documentary about the Beckhams moving to America would be made into a series, but it was cut right back too. Victoria had also set her sights on getting the cover of American Vogue but that too has proved elusive. Basically she pinned her hopes on offers of work coming flooding in but that just has not happened.”

Victoria Beckham is making all the right moves. First she seeks advice from Katie Holmes whose career was quietly murdered in its sleep by Tom Cruise - right after he stole Katie’s looks. Then Victoria dresses like a Nazi in public. Smart, smart move. She’s on her way to being the hardest working woman in Hollywood. Posh’s publicist must be the best in the biz. Or a ham sandwich. I can’t decide.

• After a few minutes of chatting, Renee Zellweger bought a pair of Manolos for a total stranger who was admiring them while on a break at Saks. A celeb sighting and a free pair of shoes sounds like one of the best days ever! - Page Six
• The Rolling Stones have landed a spot in the Guiness World Records for having the world’s most successful music tour. Obviously getting older hasn’t affected their success. - Reuters
• Richie Sambora checked himself into rehab at the Cirque Lodge in Utah last week. We wish him the best while he tries to get healthy, and wonder if rehabbing with LL will be more helpful this time around. - Gatecrasher
• Pam Anderson’s friends are concerned about the effect her excessive partying will have on her body and on her two children. The soccer mom has been partying more than usual and it’s starting to show. Hopefully now that school is back in session she’ll shift her focus back to her sons. - Page Six

Yikes! Christina caked on the makeup earlier this week when she stopped by the recording studio. We know she loves her red lips but this look is a bit much. However, even the shocking makeup and animal print bra was not enough to take our attention away from her baby bump! She and Jordan are still trying to keep their private life out of the media and although we were wondering if they will ever make a public announcement it’s clear they really don’t need to.

Ignore Beyonce. That shouldn’t be hard.

Usher launched his new fragrance Tuesday night at Cipriani in NYC, and he had one very special guest - that woman next to him.

Who was it? It’s Jonetta Patton .

That’s his mom!!!! It’s big news.

Usher and his mom were on the outs for a while. Jonetta didn’t even go to his recent wedding to Tameka.

It’s nice to see that the two have made up!

· Just in case you need to see video of a relatively intact George Clooney working his red carpet magic to know he’s really going to be OK, here you go.
· Say what you will about Britney Spears, but she did learn to put on shoes when using public restrooms. That’s measurable progress, even if the leap forward came because of a session with a court-ordered bathroom-hygiene coach.
· And while we’re talking about her, Sarah Silverman shrugs off her “adorable mistakes” joke from the VMAs.
· Sometimes we really worry about the folks at TMZ. We hope they run footage of the staff meeting pitch that resulted in that post on tonight’s show: “OK, remember Baby Spice? Well, she’s selling pasta sauce. What do you say we Photoshop up something where it looks like Chef Boyardee took a dump on her head?”
· And finally: Tiny couch lizard.

As the hung Phil Spector jury, sufficiently confused by the judge’s introduction and subsequent retraction of instructions, retires again to the jury room to resume deliberations (this time armed with 12 foam marital-therapy bats), a mini-controversy has erupted:

[A] court official said an investigation was under way into a message that was posted Sunday on the Team Spector Web site on MySpace.com.

The message, allegedly posted by Spector’s wife, Rachelle, read, “I love Phil Spector!! The evil judge should DIE!!”

This is the first we’ve heard of an official Team Spector presence in the unlikely MySpace realm, and sure enough, some cursory Googling revealed a virtual shrine dedicated to the defendant’s innocence, and steeped in a great many surreal touches. (A spinning happy face lets you know Team Spector’s mood is currently “creative.”) Among Spector’s 228 MySpace friends: Sting, James Taylor, Carol King, and, most telling of all, the very ex-wife he reportedly held as a prisoner in her own home, Ronnie Spector. (Oddly enough, Spector’s most loyal, slobbery defender was nowhere to be seen.) As for new wife Rachelle’s alleged sentiments regarding Judge Larry Paul Fidler, they have since been removed from the comments section; in its place are countless vows of solidarity from Phil’s busty new online friends and some heartfelt gratitude “for the add” from the ghost of Lenny Bruce.
