Katie Holmes seems to be totally enthralled by the vast shoe department at Barneys (it must be nice to be able to buy anything you want.) While she was browsing she was oblivious to cameras – or anyone else looking at her, for that matter. Don’t let the tummy fool you- it’s more likely she had a big lunch than a baby coming.

PREGNANT RACHEL ZOE CAN’T GIVE UP HER PLATFORMS

You can see by the look on her face that Rachel Zoe is dead serious about shopping. She rummaged through the shoes on sale rack at Barneys and found a few pairs she liked. Nope, she’s not shopping for a client. The fact that she’s five and a half months pregnant doesn’t stop her from trying on platform shoes with nine inch heels.

Soon to be ex-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was having lunch with some buddies at Barneys and one guy teased him about having a bodyguard standing at a discreet distance. Arnold laughed and admitted he was thrilled because once he has finished being governor he can finally get rid of the bodyguard. He said he doesn’t need the guy and anyway “I’m tougher than he is!”

STAR JONES IS NOT ABOUT TO GIVE UP FRENCH FRIES

Our New York spy was having lunch at Fred’s at Barneys New York and happened to notice Star Jones at a nearby table. Star was bound into a Herve Leger style “bandage” dress – stretchy strips of fabric sewn together – and painfully tight. Our spy said “I felt sorry for that dress – it was STRAINING and STRETCHING as Star tucked into a big meal and an order of french fries to boot.” And Star wasn’t kidding when she said she liked to be seen with people bigger than she is- her companion was a considerably larger woman.

We only wish we had been at Barneys the same day Cher turned up in this outfit. She can’t make up her mind whether she wants to be noticed or DOESN’T want to be noticed. Sometimes hats and sunglasses aren’t the best disguise. Still, it’s always fun to see her. (She ‘s extending her Las Vegas appearances into 2010.) She loves the shoe department and photographers outside the store can shoot her there through the windows.

Jaclyn Smith’s Kmart apparel and home collections keep multiplying but occasionally she needs a bit of fashion inspiration so she heads to dog-friendly Barneys. Jaclyn often wears clothing from her OWN Kmart line and we admire her for that. Jaclyn’s $30 cashmere sweater offered last Christmas became the number one best seller of all Kmart online items. She’s a discount mogul.
