DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
DKNY Draws Ali Larter, Rashida Jones
Wednesday night, Donna Karan New York hosted a Midtown Manhattan bash to celebrate the release of their new fragrance “DKNY Delicious Night.” And Ali Larter and Rashida Jones were among the Hollywood A-listers glamming it up.
With a glass of champagne in hand, the Heroes hottie gushed about her love of the Big Apple. “I’m so excited to be here in the city. I’m here with my girlfriends, and we’re going to have an amazing night. We’re going to have a great dinner at the Waverly (Inn) and drink champagne until dawn.”
When asked about her ideal NYC adventure, she replied, “The exact one I’m describing. That’s what we do. It’s not about dancing in nightclubs. It’s about having a great bottle of wine and great conversation. It’s a sexy city, and I’m excited to be here.”
Of her favorite activity in which to partake, Rashida Jones (currently working on both the Office and Unhitched) said, “Just walk around and make decisions as I’m walking of what to do. You can’t do that in L.A. People stare at you like you’re crazy. People don’t really walk. You sit on your (bottom) in the car all day long. It’s insane.”
Both Larter and Jones may be sitting on their collective bottom for awhile, along with the rest of those affected by the writer’s strike in the entertainment industry.
Ali told press, “It’s a very precarious time in Los Angeles. We can only shoot for a couple more days. It’s affected everyone, from our writers to our production assistants to craft service. You have to stand up for what you believe in, but the repercussions are — it’s just a difficult time for everyone.”
And Jones, whose new show doesn’t start filming until 2008, said that it’s tragic, even though it hasn’t put her out yet. “It’s affected so many of my friends. It’s only a couple of days in, and it’s a bummer. These people work so hard, and they’re the glue of the industry. They’re the reason the industry ticks, and to not give them the modicum of respect they deserve — it bums me out. I hope everyone comes to their senses.”
Amy Winehouse Visits Jailbird Hubby
Amy Winehouse Visits Jailbird Hubby
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Amy Winehouse hasn’t been taking the incarceration of her husband Blake Fielder-Civil very well. The only thing keeping her going is the fact that she gets to visit him frequently.
Earlier today, the “Rehab” singer stopped by the London prison to pay her love a visit. When she arrived, the prison guards made her wait outside until she was approved by the warden.
During her wait, she smoked a cigarette, and informed the paparazzi that Blake is doing “fantastic.” She even smiled when one of the shutterbugs paid her a compliment on her appearance.
After the prison visit, Amy stopped by a convenience store and picked up a bottle of wine, sweets and Walkers Sensations potato chips before returning home.
Given her emotional breakdown earlier this week, it is good to hear that Winehouse is feeling positive again. Friend/producer Mark Ronson reported that she’s really excited about her six Grammy Nominations.
He said, “She’s good. I called her today because the record was something that we went through together … Hopefully she will get into America so we can celebrate. Amy doesn’t get excited about anything. She was never once excited while in the studio. And today she is just like, ‘Yeah, Ronnie, chops, we got Grammy nominations.’ That’s her. But she is happy and psyched.”

Cameron Diaz’s Easter Sunday Shopping
Heading out in Hollywood on Easter Sunday, Cameron Diaz kept herself busy with a trip to Bristol Farms for some much needed holiday supplies.
The Charlie’s Angels actress, who wore a white tank along with her turquoise jeans, scooped up a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine for what was sure to be a relaxing Easter evening.
Diaz is currently in the midst of working on her new movie My Sister’s Keeper, which co-stars Abigail Breslin and Alec Baldwin.
The film is based on the Jodi Picoult novel of the same name, which tells the tale of a young girl who sues her parents for the right to make her own decisions about how her body is used when a kidney transplant is planned in order to potentially save her older sister.

The Eagles - Busy Being Fabulous Lyrics
I came home to an empty house
And I found your little note
“Don’t wait up for me tonight”
And that was all she wrote
Do you think I don’t know that
you’re out on the town
With all of your high-rollin’ friends?
What do you do when you come up empty?
Where do you go when the party ends?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
I don’t know what you were dreaming of
Somehow you forgot about love
And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh
A little time in the country
A day or two to slow down
A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight
Maybe some foolin’ around
But you think time is just a magazine
And money’s just a thrill
I’ve waited so long for you to
change your way of livin’
Now I realize that you never will
‘Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Lookin’ for something you’ll never find
You’ll never know what you left behind
‘Cause you were just too busy
being fabulous, uh-huh
You tell a joke and everybody’s laughin’
That’s something you know how to do
You’ve always been the life of the party
But now my baby, the joke is on you
‘Cause you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
Running after something that never comes
What in the world are you runnin’ from?
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy to think about us
To drink the wine from your winner’s cup
To notice the children were growin’ up
And you were just too busy being fabulous
Too busy, too busy
Too busy
Aw, baby
