Sarah Jessica Parker and her son James is significant because she is taking him to the New York Public Library. SJP pulled her kid away from his computer and video games and she is familiarizing him a place she hopes will become a hang-out for him in the future. It’s an old fashioned notion, but one we treasure because the library was OUR second home when growing up and we never regretted a minute spent there.
It’s certainly starting to look like Jon Gosselin’s “apartment destruction” was performed by Jon himself. Why would his exgirlfriend Hailey Glassman (the only other person who had a key) wreck the place, and then leave a signed note? Jon and Hailey had shared the place until she accused him of taking her money and not paying the rent. It looks like Hailey entered the apartment and took back what belonged to her – including a TV and DVD player. She admits she left a note, but NOT with a knife sticking through it. Maybe Jon was jealous about Charlie Sheen and Tiger Woods stealing his publicity thunder and he tore up his own stuff (hopefully including the Ed Hardy collection) to get attention AND revenge against Hailey. Why else would he call TMZ BEFORE he called the cops?

Jennifer Garner and her daughters Seraphina,1, and Violet, 4, along with her parents, spent an hour at their local park in Pacific Palisades. Jennifer never seems to get tired of playing with her kids on the swings and slides. The two little girls went down the slide together. Seraphina was particularly thrilled with a ride on the plastic lion. Everybody should have a mother like Jen.

Sienna Miller and Jude Law are on top of the world in the blue waters of the Caribbean. Jude and his kids Rafferty, Iris, and Rudy, flew down to join his on-again girlfriend for the holidays. It looks like the best place to be – the group enjoyed a ride on a dinghy on Sunday.

After spending the week before Christmas with her UK boyfriend Russell Brand, Katy Perry came home alone to LAX on Christmas eve. Her religious family lives in Southern California and they traditionally spend the holidays together. Wasn’t Russell invited? We wonder if there was a dinner table discussion about Russell and the fact that he’s rumored to have bought a 2.2 million dollar house in LA. UK papers say Russell has put his London home on the market and plans to move to Los Angeles for Katy.
Madonna didn’t TOTALLY rule out gifts this Christmas. She made sure the children left behind in the African orphanage where she adopted Mercy all had a great Christmas, even though it’s against her religion. All 80 children feasted on soda, hamburgers, chocolate, and cake for the holiday, provided by Madonna. They also received Croc shoes and various toys with gift tags that read “Love from Mercy.” Sweet, huh?
Merle Ginsberg and Patrick McDonald are currently in friendly competition on the Bravo show “Launch My Line.” We want them BOTH to win! Merle is the best dressed fashion journalist we’ve ever encountered (If it’s HOT – she’s gotta have it!) She knows everything about designers and trends. Patrick has always been outrageously creative and brave in his fashion selections. Despite his imposing appearance, he’s a delightful personality. We’ve tried every trick in the book to get them both to leak who wins on the show – they’re SWORN to secrecy

Nannies took Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller’s twin boys, Max and Bob, outside to get some fresh air in Aspen. Charlie and Brooke are probably too embarrassed to show THEIR faces in public. Rumors about the Sheen marriage are flying. Brooke’s friends say the marriage has been on the rocks for awhile, but Charlie’s people insist everything is fine. Charlie’s people have been drilling Brooke on what to say and do – they don’t want this incident to affect his career. Money is also being discussed. If Brooke makes this incident go away, we’re thinking she’ll have a nice bank account. It makes us wonder what IS going on behind those closed doors.
What is it about the holidays that brings out the worst in bad boys? Denise Richards must be smirking because her exhusband Charlie Sheen has been arrested in Aspen for domestic violence. Charlie’s wife Brooke gave birth to twin boys last March but no one involved needed medical attention. Surprisingly, the altercation occurred at 8 AM on Christmas morning, when gifts are usually joyfully unwrapped. Charlie’s been in jail since then, so Christmas for the family cannot have been very pleasant. Charlie’s publicist insists that the situation is not what it seems. The photo above was taken years before Charlie started on “Two and a Half Men.”
UPDATE: Charlie has been released and alcohol was a factor in the skirmish – but Brooke had consumed twice as much as Charlie and he claims he was defending himself from her aggression. All this at 8 AM!

“Star Trek’s”Chris Pine is pictured her walking out of a store carrying a new pair of jeans. He’s not shoplifting. On Christmas eve, Chris spent an hour trying on a whole bunch of jeans at a men’s store on Melrose Avenue. He decided on one pair he liked and bought them, but he refused a bag (for environmental reasons?) and that’s how he left with his purchase.
