The Ballas Hough band, which consists of Dancing With The Stars regulars Derek Hough and Mark Ballas, put on an athletic show at The Grove this week. Earlier in the week Derek was spotted by a DWTS fan they were standing in line together at Quiznos Sub Shop at Hollywood and Western. Derek was friendly and he and the fan chatted about the show, about Cloris Leachman, and other characters on the show, while waiting to order subs. When he reached the cashier, Derek insisted on paying for the fan’s sub, proving he’s the nice guy he seems to be.

SPANDAU BALLET WITHOUT THE FRILLS

Spandau Ballet have buried the hatchet and reformed the 80’s “New Romantic” group. The flamboyant hair and eyeliner are gone, but the five original members, Tony Hadley, Gary and Martin Kemp (delectable in “The Krays,”) Steve Norman, and John Keeble, are alive and willing to tour the world. (And they still look good!) Over the years there were bitter lawsuit over royalties, but when the guys saw how well other 80’s band revivals like Duran Duran were doing, and they want a piece of the pie. They’re rehearsing for concerts starting in October.

Violet Affleck is headed to public school! Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck can easily afford the most expensive private schools in LA, but they’ve decided to enroll her in public school in Brentwood when she starts kindergarten. Brentwood has good public schools and that’s why they’re building a house there. They want Violet to have a normal life and not grow up to be a Hollywood brat.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his15 year old son Patrick hug goodbye after spending time together in Brentwood. Patrick is getting tall – we wonder what it’s like to be in high school and have bodyguards following wherever you go. Empowering or embarrassing?

YO ADRIAN- WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR LUNCH?

Since female celebrities’ weight fluctuations are so often pointed out, we can’t help but mention that “Entourage” star Adrian Grenier looks noticably plumper in this photo of him leaving Cafe Med on Sunset Strip. Of course, it might just be an unflattering picture, but if we were Adrian, we’d stick to salads for awhile.

UNIBOMBER HOOD: WHO WORE IT BEST?

What are the chances of catching 50 Cent and Jennifer Aniston wearing the same outfit? Slim, at best. But here they are in all their glory. Fitty was observed wearing his hood as he jumped into his bullet proof SUV. Jennifer wore hers to the location of her movie “The Baster” in New York. We love Jen’s outsize hood, but she could probably use a seeing eye dog to go with it. Keep in mind, hoods like these are banned at all Obama public gatherings.

Undaunted by the demise of her series “Dirt,” Courteney Cox, 44, is back at work filming the pilot for her new show with a rather insulting title, “Cougar Town,” for ABC. Thanks to her development deal with ABC, she’s producing this one too, and stars as a divorcee with a 17 year old son.

Mitzi Gaynor starred in “There’s No Business Like Show Business” in 1954 with Marilyn Monroe. Just one of the delightful things about living in Hollywood is you never know when you’re going to run into old time movie stars that you admired as a kid. Mitzi had dinner in Beverly Hills, and she told everyone she will be touring with her one woman show in Canada and the USA this year.

PRINCE FREDERICK STINKS UP THE PATIO

prince-frederick-voncut.jpg
Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband Prince Frederick Von Anhalt does not endear himself to other patrons at his favorite Starbucks in West Hollywood. Frederick, who’s a regular at 10 or 11 AM every day at the coffee spot on Santa Monica Blvd, doesn’t hesitate to park his Bentley free on the street because he has a handicapped sticker. He always sits outside at a patio table with a view of the neighborhood. The Prince was reprimanded last week by a Starbucks staffer because he had a poodle on his table and was surprised to learn it was not permitted. But according to another regular customer, Von Anhalt’s WORST habit is lighting up a big fat CIGAR every morning. The stink causes other people on the patio to drag their tables and chairs as far from him as they can get. And he doesn’t even notice.
