Ashley Judd and her husband Dario Franchetti are at LAX in this photo – he’s got the luggage and she’s carrying her two beloved dogs Buttermilk and Shug. Ashley loves her adorable cockapoos and both of them appear to be service dogs with official credentials. That probably means they can travel right beside Ashley and Dario. What could their “service” be?

John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s smiling little girl Ella, 9, feels right at home on the red carpet. She’s at the premier of the Disney comedy “Old Dogs” in which she costarred with her parents. Ella loves to act and now she hopes to get roles on her own. She’s been going out on auditions for movies that her parents are NOT appearing in.
Aerosmith is in a shambles, what with Joe Perry telling the Las Vegas Sun that Steven Tyler quit the band, and Steven Tyler denying it. What IS going on with these guys? According to Roger Friedman at the Hollywood Reporter, the band can’t agree on who should manage them. But the real complication seems to be Steven’s intrusive girlfriend, Erin Brady (who has been compared to Courtney Love.) She thinks Steven, at 61, could be the hottest solo artist of all time. Friedman also suggests that Steven, who was on the wagon for years, has been partying a bit too heavily with 35 year old billionaire Justin Murdock. Maybe drugs are on the menu again. Can this band be saved?

This is how Shauna Sand dresses to drive her daughter Alexandra to meet her father Lorenzo Lamas for dinner at Katsuya. What a role model. Does this woman look in the mirror? To top it off, Lorenzo stood them up, so they turned around and went home.
Now we KNOW things are getting serious between Katy Perry and Russell Brand. They are starting to LOOK ALIKE. Note that Katy has picked up Russell’s leather jacket and skinny jeans look – not to mention the sunglasses. Couples eventually start to resemble each other, but this is happening awfully fast. Will we be seeing Russell in polka dots next?
No WONDER rumors have been circulating that Madonna is nervous about meeting her boyfriend Jesus Luz’s parents. His mother Christiane, a hairdresser, is only 36 – she gave birth to Jesus when she was 13! That makes her fifteen years YOUNGER than Madonna. Not only that, but she looks like a female version of Jesus, only considerably more fierce. This will be a very interesting meeting of the minds.

We never hear and we hardly ever see Howard Stern any more, but he turned up, as usual, for the North Shore Animal League Celebrity Gala at Cipriani in New York. Mrs Stern, Beth Ostrosky, is spokesperson for the no-kill rescue organization and like other celebrities, she and Howard brought their beloved bulldog Bianca to the fundraising party. We miss hearing Howard in the morning since he went to Siruis satellite radio.

We almost didn’t recognize his cute young guy without his famous father. It’s Connor Cruise, 14, and he’s growing up to be quite handsome. He’s already an actor – he’s appeared in “Australia” with his mother Nicole Kidman, and “Seven Pounds” with his dad’s good friend Will Smith, and he landed a role in the remake of “Red Dawn,” currently filming. It must be nice to take a break from that Scientology home schooling.
Halle Berry took her mother to lunch at Il Piccolino on Robertson and she knows how to get prompt and excellent service from the valet parking attendant. Halle tipped $20 and she WASN’T driving a Bentley or Lamborghini. She doesn’t mind wearing the same jacket twice in one week, either.
Now we KNOW that Yankee hero Alex Rodriguez is serious about Kate Hudson! He’s giving up one of his favorite pastimes to please her – no, it’s not baseball. It’s high stakes poker games. Alex has long been a regular at a private game in Manhattan for high rollers, but he recently bowed OUT of the monthly games to please Kate. She thinks it’s a big waste of time and money and he wants to keep her happy.
