Amanda Bynes Goes Tanning

Amanda Bynes headed into a tanning salon on Melrose this morning in preparation for the bikini-fest that is Memorial Day weekend. She is reportedly trying to land the role of Ariel alongside Chace Crawford in the Footloose remake. Her competition is Julianne Hough (WAY too sweet to play bad girl Ariel) and Miley Cyrus (puh-lease).

More CW Parties with the Gossip Girl Cast

The Gossip Girl team headed out to celebrate another season of the show.  Again, Jessica Szohr kills it.  Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz stopped by to have a cocktail with the cast.

Gossip Girl Upfronts

Hell-lo Jessica Szohr!  Homegirl has always been pretty, but my adoration of Leighton Meester prevented much thought about this one.  But with her hair blown out and barrel curled (DeeDee's formal 'do of choice), Jessica looks downright stunning and shows up all her castmates.  In other news, Blake Lively wore a loathed onesie and does not earn my support and Taylor Momsen has literally become Jenny Humphrey.  Also, Leighton might be one of the few starlets I think looks far and away better as a brunette.

Mommy and Me: Ashlee and Bronx

Ashlee Simpson took her son, Bronx, 6 months, for a day out in New York city after finishing her Melrose Place promo duties.

Daddy Dearest: Tom and Connor Cruise

Tom Cruise took his son Connor, 14, to the Lakers game last night.  They did not prove to be the team's good luck charm.

Still On: LC and Kyle

Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard are still going strong.  The pair, who have laid really low lately, opted for a night out at My House in Hollywood last night.  I wish I could see the rest of LC's dress!  I've been dress shopping a lot lately for summer (read: wedding season!) and I have been pretty disappointed with the selection.  Looking for some inspiration!

Dash Miami Opens for Business

Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian were on hand for the grand opening of Dash in Miami.  The two sisters are gearing up for their own reality show sans middle sis Kim.

Bump Watch: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie looks summery as she heads to dinner with boyfriend Joel Madden.  The two spent the evening at Cicconi's in West Hollywood.

Soundbites: Jessica Biel on Dressing for the Paparazzi

"It's wonderful to do what I do, but everything that goes with it? It's bizarre. The invasion of privacy is very tough. I am followed all day, every day. Going to the dentist, the cleaners. I guess I could look like shit going to the dentist, but only if I didn't care what I saw in the papers."  Um, so is this you NOT looking like shit?  Because when I see these photos, all I can think of is the time I volunteered at a church garage sale and my mom let me take home one bag (all you can stuff!) of clothes to play dress up in and they were clearly the dresses of a 90 year old woman.

And Actual Upfront Pics

The photogs were totally yelling, "Give us a profile pic!  We want to see who's the skinniest!"  I think Jessica Stroup...but it's pretty close, no?
