This A List Hollywood star had had public battles with drug abuse. He seems to have put it all behind him and settled into a successful career and happy home life. What his wife doesn’t know is that he has started quietly smoking pot with his teenage son and his son’s buddies. (The scene reminds of Ryan O’Neal’s early indiscretions with his kids.) The actor doesn’t see any harm in it, but friends who know are worried.

Paul McCartney takes liberties when it comes to parking in LA. Not only did he parallel park his black sportscar backwards, facing traffic, but it was a red zone! He stopped to run an errand in West Hollywood and paparazzi poked fun at his “UK parking.” Paul didn’t get a ticket, but he jokingly warned photographers that if they followed him, they’d better drive safely. McCartney is in town for George Harrison’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony yesterday.

Jack Nicholson and Greg Kinnear are still friendly, since they costarred in “As Good As It Gets” back in the 90’s. We remember Greg when he started on “Talk Soup” on the E! channel. He was hilarious, and that was the springboard to his acting career. Greg and Jack were seated together in the front row at an LA Lakers game and reportedly never stopped laughing.

We just got some juicy details from movie mogul Ron Meyer’s Easter party in Malibu last Sunday. It was aiming to be “green” – in Hollywood that means no paper plates or cups – only china, silver, and crystal, plus linen table coverings and napkins in pastel colors. All the trees in the driveway and yard were festooned with pastel ribbons.
Nearly 500 guests and their kids feasted on custom omelets and waffles, vats of oatmeal with raspberries, bagels, etc. topped off with mountains of Sprinkles cupcakes in pastel colors. Two forty foot long buffets groaned with designer food. The kids ran around and hunted for hundreds of plastic eggs that were hidden all over the beachfront property- they were stuffed with candy, toys and some with cash!
While Suri and Katie hunted for eggs, Tom Cruise played touch football and he was described as “throwing like a girl.” Barbra Streisand and James Brolin had a long conversation with Meryl Streep. Also socializing and sipping champagne: Warren and Annette, Goldie and Kurt and Kate Hudson, Tobey McGuire, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Spielbergs, Conan O’Brien, Jamie Foxx, and the Arquettes.

Most of the kids over ten were furiously texting and talking on their cell phones.
The best part was the “Petting Zoo” – “it was like Noah’s ark.” They had baby chicks and ducks, baby pigs, baby goats, two baby ZEBRAS, miniature ponies, a baby kangaroo and a baby camel, and a young chimp. Before guests departed they were reminded to pick up their individual Easter baskets, which were hanging in the trees labeled with each child’s name. The hefty baskets contained MORE STUFF- movies, DVD’s iPods, games, gourmet chocolate, toys, stuffed animals – whatever was age appropriate.
Wow. And this was a “green” party in the middle of a recession!

Leave it to The National Enquirer to discover Jacqueline Kennedy’s aunt and cousin living in squalor in a dilapidated house on Long Island on 1971. Jackie helped them patch up the house and the documentary “Grey >Gardens” made eccentrics “Big Edie” Bouvier Beale and “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale famous. Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange are starring in the HBO version debuting Saturday and they made a point of looking really good at the New York premier because they look so bad in the movie.

Nicolas Cage had visitors on the set of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” on location in Chinatown in New York yesterday. His wife Alice and three and a half year old son Kal-El came to check out the scene. Nic is a comic book fanatic and named his son after Superman’s real name. Nic took his own last name from Marvel comic superhero Luke Cage.

Pauly Shore was a ladies man in the 90’s after Encino Man came out, but since then, fortune hasn’t exactly smiled upon him. And he’s certainly not a snappy dresser. But he managed to hook up with this attractive young blonde. He feeds her well – they’re shopping at Bristol Farms. We’re wondering if she speaks English. You never know.

Salma Hayek and her billionaire husband Francois-Henri Pinault look genuinely happy as they take a walk with their daughter Valentina in St Tropez. And why shouldn’t they? Francois isn’t just some rich older guy. Salma and Valentina never have to worry about shopping again because daddy owns Balenciaga. And fact is, Francois at 46 is only four years older than Salma, so they’re not a bad match.

Kimora Lee Simmons (“Life in the Fab Lane”) and actor Djimon Hounsou always seem to have fun when they shop at Bristol Farms. Above, they have an “It’s a Boy!” balloon in celebration of their soon-to-be-born baby boy. They’re not married yet, but they had a “commitment ceremony” in Africa and expect to make it legal after the baby is born.
