Katy Perry was seen out having fun with Rob Pattinson in Burbank, so where does that leave Russell Brand, back in London? Are they still an item, or what? Katy might have to make up her mind – which one would YOU pick?
Sherlock Holmes’ nemesis Mark Strong is the hottest villain in any movie we can remember. If you think you know what Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” is going to be like, you’re probably wrong. Guy has turned Holmes (Robert Downey Jr) into a Superhero! The sets and costumes are gorgeous and appropriate, but this is an ACTION MOVIE, not unlike Batman. Explosions, crashes, and life threatening situations abound with special effects – aimed at the teenage boy mentality. We prefer a more cerebral Holmes with an intricate plot and clues, but this might be right up your alley.

Just when it looked like Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez might be getting really serious, it seems to be over. A-Rod is in Miami flirting with blondes while Kate is in New York hanging out with family and friends. She spent an evening out with her mom Goldie Hawn and “stepfather” Kurt Russell and THEY looked a lot happier than she did.

Nicole Richie has a new shopping companion. Her cute little girl Harlow is growing up fast – she turns two in January and already she’s wearing a tiny shoulderbag and silver shoes, and browsing in Barneys like a pro. All she needs is a cup of coffee.

P Diddy is taking a lot of flak for wearing Crocs – especially since he’s a trendsetter in the fashion business. He can easily afford custom made alligator shoes, but he defiantly continues to flaunt his comfortable, but much-maligned, footwear when he’s walking around New York. The Crocs company is delighted – they’re hoping Diddy will make Crocs fashionable – and they’re featuring him on their website.

Hair maintenance is always an issue for Rihanna – she has to live up to fashion expectations at all times and it takes WORK. But she took a day off and wore a fluffy fur hat for a shopping expedition in New York. Her stops included Louis Vuitton, Toys “R” Us, and a discount jewelry store.
Things haven’t been going so great for Ryan Cabrera. He and Riley Keough dated for awhile and were living together when her career started to take off and his didn’t. (Ryan is managed by Joe Simpson.) Riley landed a starring role in “The Runaways” and she ended their relationship earlier this year. Ryan was heartbroken and moved out of the place they were sharing into an apartment. He put his LA house up for sale but we heard he couldn’t unload it and it went into foreclosure. He’s currently working on an album to be released in 2010. Hey, at least he escaped becoming a Scientologist.
We admit we had to be DRAGGED to see “Invictus,” because we have no particular interest in rugby or South African politics. (By the way, the word “Invictus” is Latin for “unconquered” – it’s the title of a poem from 1875 about never giving up.) Were WE surprised! We almost forgot what humanity Clint Eastwood brings to his movies. Sentimental Eastwood made the story light up with many personal and touching moments. It turned out to be both educating and engrossing. Matt Damon is uncharacteristically hunky as the team captain. It was also interesting to watch Morgan Freeman (who was excellent as usual) conceal his paralyzed hand. Hopefully it will heal eventually.
They’re back together for now, and Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush have been playing matchmaker for their respective best friends, Brittny Gastineau, and New Orleans Saints tight-end Jeremy Shockey. Kim and Reggie decided their friends would make a great couple and schemed to fix them up without them realizing it. As luck would have it, Brittny and Jeremy clicked, and started dating. Now Kim and Brittny can fly together to New Orleans or wherever, to watch their guys play.

Avril Lavigne is single now and she can go anywhere she wants in her Chanel sneakers. We wonder if something happened between her and her close friend Brandon Davis because they haven’t been palling around. Brandon is in Europe now (mooching off other people?) He insists that he and Avril were just friends and he didn’t break up her marriage. We agree – and tend to believe that what Brandon and Avril had in common was more “substance” than “romance.“
