Who knew that Melanie Griffith and John Waters were so fond of each other? John and Melanie have been friendly since she starred in his movie "Cecil B DeMented" in 2000, and she described him as "one of the twenty great film makers alive today." Recently, John told Sara Stewart at the NY Post that he had been thinking about getting his pencil thin mustache tattooed on, but Melanie advised him not to. "She said she had something tattooed on and it didn't last." It's just funny to imagine John Waters getting beauty tips from Melanie Griffith. We wonder if Michael Jackson is still getting his eyebrows, eyeliner, and lips tattooed on.

What could be more fun than spending an afternoon with Sharon Stone and Melanie Griffith on Robertson Blvd? We can't figure out HOW these two became friends - it IS a surprise. Of course they started with lunch at The Ivy and all eyes were upon them.

We're betting they had salads or swordfish and iced tea. After a gossipy lunch they left the Ivy (that guy in the light blue shirt looks familiar, doesn't he?) and strolled down the street.

On the corner, the girls popped into the pricey but spectacular store Les Habitudes, where glamour-puss Melanie tried on a gown over her jeans and Sharon seriously considered a tailored English-looking jacket. They did a little more window shopping before they hopped in their identical Black Bentley convertibles and took off.

Melanie Griffith turned up at Green Door for Prince's private performance with two of her kids- Dakota Johnson, 18, and Alexander Bauer, 23, pictured here. Alexander's father is Steven Bauer ("Scarface") but we think he looks a lot more like Dakota's dad Don Johnson. Hmmmm...

Note: Thanks to eagle eyed readers, we have learned that this is in fact, Jesse Johnson, the son of Don Johnson and Patti D'Arbanville! Makes a lot more sense.
