We had one minute with chef Mario Batali before he and his hideous orange Crocs jumped onto a moped and took off -- but that was enough time for him to give us a tasty recipe that even the cooking-challenged could master.

After a post-dancing shopping trip to her new favorite store in the Valley -- named Index -- Lindsay Lohan emerged to the usual paparazzi crush, this time congratulated by a photog for her sobriety.
Also in L.A. -- Lionel Richie, Clive Davis and Chris Tucker having a power dinner at Orso, Mario Lopez getting swarmed on Robertson Blvd., and Cheryl Burke dressed-like-a-granny, and Elisha Cuthbert at Hyde.
In New York -- Mario Batali rocked his orange Crocs at a basketball court, Diddy and Busta Rhymes enjoyed themselves at Butter, Aretha Franklin went geisha outside Trump Towers, and Robin Thicke got a horrendous curbside serenade of his own song.
All this and more in today's "Sobriety Rules" edition of Star Catcher.

As a chef, Mario Batali is known for restaurants like Babbo and Mozza and his prodigious talent, energy, brio -- and belly. As a quarterback, Mario is known ... well, mainly for his belly.
The Croc-clad culinary cad was out -- if not so about -- in New York's West Village, tossing around a football with some local kids, whose relative size made Mario look like the Jolly Tangerine-Dusty Rose Giant. With his paunch playing offensive line, Batali did his best to engage the youngsters -- as long as the ball was thrown right to him.

Kristin Davis has a soft spot for stiff horses.
The usually cheery actress, whose "Sex and the City" character loved her equine friends, was irate when asked about the death of Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner euthanized Monday after a long struggle with leg trouble since fracturing an ankle in the Preakness Stakes.
Davis was short with photogs, yelling, "I don't wanna talk about it, please, please!" before trotting away.
Celeb chef Mario Batali had more horse sense, calling the death "a tragedy."

World famous celebrity chef Mario Batali may know a lot about cooking, but his most recent outfit has left us with a bad taste in our mouth.
The Food Network host arrived at the NY premiere of the movie "Infamous" on Monday sporting shorts, colored socks, and orange Crocs. An ensemble more appropriate for sight seeing, than seeing a movie premiere.
So unless he's planning on spending the evening touring the Statue of Liberty, we hope in the future Mario changes into something a little more comfortable -- to our eyes.
