Sebastian Bach is still looking for attention. The onetime singer for the heavy metal hair band “Skid Row” is now 43 and divorced. In August, his New Jersey home, featured on “Cribs,” was destroyed by Hurricane Irene. He lost much of his band memorabilia. Bach moved to Los Angeles where he met his model girlfriend Minnie Gupta, 27. The happy couple visited Mr Bones’ Pumpkin Patch like many other celebrities who don’t mind being noticed.

KEVIN BACON DID NOT SNUB THE NEW “FOOTLOOSE”

We didn’t THINK Kevin Bacon could resist seeing the remake of “Footloose.” HIS version, filmed 27 years ago, turned into a cult favorite. Often actors act like they couldn’t be less interested in seeing remakes of their original hit movies – they keep their distance. But we’re quite sure they SNEAK a look behind closed doors. Kevin Bacon wasn’t sneaky – he went to a theater and bought a ticket to see the movie and apparently loved it – he immediately tweeted congratulations to the young stars. What a nice guy – he really made the remake actors happy. (Above, Kevin and his dog are on the set of his new movie R.I.P.D.)

CHARLES PHOENIX LOVES PANN’S COFFEE SHOP – AND SO DO WE!

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player

Our friend Charles Phoenix sent us this video he did for KCET showing off his favorite restaurant in Los Angeles- and it happens to be OUR favorite restaurant also! Pann’s Coffee Shop is like a trip back in time. It has all the swanky glamour it had when it opened in 1958 and the same family still owns and runs it. You’d think a place with such appealing Googie architecture (our weakness!) would have average food at best – but the fare is home made, delicious, and affordable. What more could you ask? The last time we ate at Pann’s, our waiter recalled that Halle Berry worked as a waitress there for a few days when she was preparing for her role in “Monster’s Ball.” Lots of movies have been filmed there. Enjoy the video.

Ben Affleck took his daughters Violet and Seraphina to the Farmer’s Market and they picked out flowers and grapes to bring home to pregnant mom Jennifer Garner. Ben’s beard and Beatle hair almost make him look like a young Steve Jobs.

TAYLOR ARMSTRONG FIRED FOR BEING TOO DEPRESSING

Taylor Armstrong has been fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills – and not a minute too soon. According to Patricia Shipp at The Enquirer, the other “wives” were sick and tired of hearing Taylor whine about her miserable life long BEFORE her miserable husband Russell killed himself. It was turning into a full-time therapy show for Taylor Armstrong. The other women felt she was way too needy and a big downer and producers agreed. Since that may have been her only source of income, Taylor might have to look for a job now.

A RUDE AWAKENING FOR PREGNANT JESSICA SIMPSON

As Jessica Simpson gets bigger every day, her father Joe is frantically trying to close a deal to sell the “exclusive” story of her pregnancy to a magazine for $500,000. In other words, for half a million dollars People or US Weekly will have a photo of plump Jessica admitting she is, indeed, pregnant. So far no one is interested in the deal. For one thing, we already KNOW she’s pregnant. And apparently she is not in Angelina Jolie’s league when it comes to baby news, so the price tag is way too high. It’s a reality check for Jessica.

WALKIN’ THE LINE ON HALLOWEEN AS JOHNNY CASH

Someone said that the best costumes are the ones you have to explain and we think they’re right. We love this little boy costumed as Johnny Cash for Halloween. We’re not certain he knows who Johnny cash IS, but his parents probably got a huge kick out of dressing him up and adults who see him will love it.

REESE WITHERSPOON’S FAMILY HAS EXPANDED

Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have only been married since March but they’ve already added to their family. Reese’s two children (with Ryan Phillippe) Ava, 12, and Deacon, 8, found two feral kittens in their garden. Reese planned to give the kittens to a kitten rescue shelter but before she could, the family fell in love with them. Even Jim’s dog gets along with the kittens, so they’re staying with the Toths.

JOHN TRAVOLTA TRIED TO MAKE RESERVATIONS AT KFC

Has John Travolta lost touch with reality? He was reportedly disappointed in the UK when he tried to reserve a table at the local KFC. Yes, Kentucky Fried Chicken. British papers reported that Travolta was in West Sussex at a Scientology meeting when he had a craving for KFC. He had an aide call the store and ask to book a table for “Mr Travolta and his friends.” The aide was told that they didn’t take reservations, but they were invited to stand in line with other customers. John didn’t stand in line, but we’re pretty sure someone, (probably a Scientology slave) was sent to fetch a bucket of chicken for him.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA AND THE ART OF VISUAL DISTRACTION

Christina Aguilera must have been a little irritated when she saw the “chubby” photos of her performing at the Michael Jackson concert. So today she’s using ALL the “tricks” to make herself look thinner: She’s wearing black, her jacket covers her thighs, she’s wearing sky high heels, her hair is BIG, and she has a long red scarf to distract the eye.
