She just put a Balenciaga shopping bag in her car, but Diane Keaton wasn’t finished with shopping. She dashed into the Rite-Aid drugstore in Beverly Hills to pick up a few things. A sensible shopper, she purchased some highly affordable Cover Girl and L’Oreal mascara and pencils.

No wonder Sharon Osbourne looks happy – she just cleaned out our favorite store in Beverly Hills – Barneys New York. Most people think long and hard before investing in Barney’s pricey stuff, but Sharon just says “Wrap it up!” Ozzy used to gripe about her free spending but since she started making lots of her own money, he doesn’t complain. In fact he jokes that “My wife is the patron saint of shopping – she deserves a statue on Rodeo Drive.” Above, Sharon bought so much at Barneys she needed help getting all the shopping bags into her car.

Brad Pitt has always struck us as a very normal midwestern guy with few pretentions. Naturally a guy like that enjoys doing ordinary things – like browsing in the local hardware store. The Pitt family just settled into a huge 8 bedroom rented home in the UK in Surrey, and Brad must have some do it yourself projects to take care of. He visited the English version of Home Depot (called B&Q) to pick up some items with two of his kids. A few store employees spotted him in his newsboy cap and one posted a blurry photo on Twitter. Another remarked that his kids were very polite. No surprise there.

Star Wars hero Harrison Ford isn’t too big a star to pick out Christmas gifts for his wife Calista Flockhart himself. Most actors would send an assistant to do their shopping, but Harrison braved the Christmas crowds today to pick out some loungewear for Calista at a shop called Roberta Roller Rabbit at the Brentwood Country Mart. The store specializes in apparel and home goods made from hand printed India cotton. He made his selection and left as quickly as possible.

Mischa Barton has supposedly been struggling with money problems and her weight, but she looks quite happy shopping at the Ron Herman 75% off sale with her little dog Ziggy. The pair stopped at Mauro’s Café where Mischa had a glass of wine and took some food home. She has a movie with the creepy title of “Hoarders” coming out this year – it’s described as “a psychological horror thriller.” We don’t know if that diet product she was selling called Proactol XS really works, but she DOES look slimmer.

Kris Jenner’s new boyfriend Corey Gamble, 34, seems hell-bent on impressing her. Kris cannot be easy to shop for because she denies herself very little, if anything. Corey works for Scooter Braun as a road manager (frequently for Justin Bieber) and we’re not sure how much road managers earn, but he’s spending like he’s trying to Keep up with you–know-who. Corey was seen on Christmas eve shopping in Barneys, Cartier, and Louis Vuitton, and he walked out of each place with multiple bags. He does seem to be enjoying his new-found notoriety.

It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Kirstie Alley, but she turned up at Target, looking for sale merchandise like many other shoppers. Kirstie found a sales person and asked to see a particular table that was advertised on sale. The clerk informed her that the item was sold out but it could be ordered and sent to her. Kirstie was NOT happy. “But I want it TODAY!” she declared. The salesperson apologized and pointed out a nicer and costlier table that was available. Kirstie demanded to see the manager and pressured the manager to give her the expensive table for the price of the sale table! The manager refused despite Kirstie’s relentless pleas. She left scowling and we can’t help but wonder why Kirstie Alley is buying furniture at Target in the first place!

“Shameless” star Emmy Rossum had no shame whatsoever while taking advantage of 70% off sale at Express. In fact, she walked out of the store on a retail high with a huge smile on her face. Emmy bought so much that a sales person had to help her carry out her garment bags and shopping bags. We love her look of pure joy.

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t only visit the expensive designer shops while she’s in Rome – she also patronizes the local flea markets! (A girl after our own heart!) Above, bargain hunters were surprised to run into the “Sex & the City” star at the Via Sannio outdoor market in the city. She enthusiastically rummaged through the clothing, tried on several vintage hats, and examined leather handbags. How she shops in those high heels remains a mystery.

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria and baby Carmen spent a family day of shopping in Madrid. Hilaria is hard to miss in those shorts and high heels but so far Alec hasn’t had any run-ins with the local paparazzi. He’s in town to promote a Spanish comedy, “Torrente,” in which he has a starring role. Alec bought himself a suit and several shirts. Eventually they accumulated so many bags that Carmen had to vacate her stroller.
