LEONARD COHEN IS ALIVE AND WELL AND SHOPPING AT RALPH’S

We’ve been wondering what Leonard Cohen has been up to since he rescheduled his European tour from March to this September because of a back injury. He’s 76, (Imagine that! We have a crush on a 76 year old man!) but it looks like he’s healthy enough to continue that tour. We were so jealous when a spy saw him shopping at our local Ralph’s supermarket on 3rd street. Leonard shopped alone, wearing a sport jacket and hat, and when he carried his groceries back to his car, our spy noted that the license plate read: IMURMAN.

DAVID ARQUETTE: WHERE'S MY WIFE?

Here’s David Arquette out on his own. His wife Courteney Cox has been noticed having some fun nights out without her husband also. It seems Courteney hit it off with her team of guys in her production company and they like to go bowling, to movies, and even strip clubs together. Courteney’s girlfriends Jennifer Aniston and Sheryl Crowe are a little puzzled by the idea of their married friend Courteney frequently running around with single straight guys. So far, David’s not complaining – he wants his wife to have her freedom and he trusts her.

DANIEL CRAIG: ALL OVER HOLLYWOOD

Suddenly the new James Bond is all over Hollywood. Daniel Craig, looking sexy in a leather jacket, was spotted parking his Jaguar and walking into Greenblatt’s deli for lunch with his girlfriend on Monday . Two days later he was seen at The Grove headed for Abercrombie & Fitch on the same day Victoria Beckham was shopping there. (Brits LOVE this store) Later the new 007 hero inexpertly parked his Escalade (another American icon loved by Brits) in front of the tiny shop Beverly Hills Juice, but his girlfriend couldn’t get out of the passenger side because her door was blocked by the parking meter. While passersby watched, he reparked the jumbo vehicle. (It’s not so easy when you’re accustomed to small cars and driving on the other side of the street.) Once inside, the couple enjoyed wheat grass shots. Nice that he turns up in unexpected places – not just The Ivy.

PATRICK DEMPSEY AND HIS McDREAMCAR

Fans interested if getting a close-up glimpse of Patrick Dempsey might be advised to hang out at the Belwood Bakery on Barrington at Sunset in West LA at 9:30 or 10 in the morning. It seems Dr McDreamy stops there several days a week for the best coffee in town, along with an occasional muffin. He pulls up in his racing green 1973 E-type vintage Jaguar convertible with the top DOWN. He usually wears a knit hat pulled down low, but when the girls working in nearby shops see his distinctive car out front, they run outside and wave to him and throw kisses as he drives off.

SHARON STONE: DOUBLE EXPOSURE

Is Sharon Stone hungry for attention? She showed up TWICE last week at The Ivy restaurant on Robertson Blvd – perhaps the most relentlessly paparazzi patrolled restaurant in all of LA . Her maroon velvet smoking jacket was too baggy to be much of a hit, but her trim pinstripe suit made up for it. Looks like her holiday dalliance with Christian Slater MIGHT be over.
